2007 SLE DIC Upgrade

BloodRedSilverado · February 21, 2008

on a side note... You can't order the switch assembly all together. Order both the switch and panel seperate.

Switch $13

Panel $27

Shipping $9

Total $49

And there's the secret.

I ordered mine from gmparts direct almost 2 weeks ago and I can't even get a reply from customer service, tried to email twice. They show the Paypal pending, guess they will accept payment when they have it to ship. I'm waiting impatiently.

I got an email from them today and they said the part was on a nationwide backorder with no idea when it would be available. They asked me if I wanted a refund and I said yes. Guess I'm still looking for the set up.

Do you have the part #'s that you ordered? I bet the guys who may have cut their panels for the switch opening might be interested to know they could order just the plain panel with the cutout.

Heres one that's only $84.00 but add $32.00 shipping. Ouch, talk about price gouging on shipping prices.

I believe these are the right part #'s. Before ordering probably wouldn't hurt to double check..

Switch-# 15947841

Panel- # 25783286

Both are $40 + your shipping charges.. HOWEVER, these are special order items, so if you decide to change your mind, forget out returning them... Which in these case, i doubt anybody would change their mind. later

I ordered a swith from my dealer on saturday and he told me it should be in tuesday. He actually called today and said it was in. I went and picked it up and hurried home to check it out. I spent 5 minutes reading the enclosed instructions and spent 5 minutes rereading the first page of this thread and decided to just attempt to pull the cover off and not remove all the parts the instructions said to remove. Once I worked up the courage to just pull it off it came off instantly. I unplugged the light switch and the DIC swith connector, snapped everything back into place and popped the cover back into the dash. I don't think it took all of 3 minutes to get it back together.

Thanks Daddy for this info. I was standing in the blowing snow and before I knew it I was test driving it and enjoying all the new readouts. This was one of the easiest mods I ever done and the one I will get the most use out of.

Thanks again Daddy, You Da Man.

No Problem. That's exactly why I love this place.

RVJ · February 27, 2008

That's why I love it too.

I'm wondering if anyone that has dealt with GMpartsdirect, how fast do they get around to refunding a Paypal to you. They notified me yesterday that they had cancelled my order for the same switch due to unavailability, but still today I have not been credited my paypal back yet. Maybe they are just extremely busy?

They are slow sometimes with some things but I have purchased many things from them and never had issues.

RVJ · February 28, 2008

OK, thanks. I figured they were pretty big and it might just take a while.

BloodRedSilverado · March 4, 2008

Update for Gmpartsdirect. I just ordered Two more switches, and they have already been shipped out. So they must have some in stock. I don't know why some of you got a unavailable order..

I sure do. There are supposed to be some new PUTCO bulbs coming out soon (check their site and then check the group buy thread pinned at the root of the Fullsize Light-Duty Truck section) but there's also the method I used which is brighter, just takes some more time and some minor mods to the bulbs and harnesses. Check my signature for the link to the fog light upgrade.
