I wonder if you buy the OEM from dealership if its plug n play, or do you have to splice harness
On the 15's if there are no lights they aren't wired for them
 
Plug and play, some trucks may have the harness already, just go to your dealer and run the vin #

No harness in mine ...



... I have not read a single post that said their truck without factory cab/roof lights from the factory was equipped with the harness. Why would GM do that? If anyone finds an unused harness with switch, I would suspect it is the harness for the roof mounted lamp/beacon option.
 
All I'm saying is run your vin and check before you buy the harness
Mine didn't have it either

I bet your side to side measurments on your truck are off at least a 1"

:stir

Best to lift it more :D
Don't tempt me...lol...this 12" is already starting to lose its thrill:rof
 
Cab lights are a must for me, wouldn't look at a truck without them. When I was looking I was quoted $700 to install. I just laughed. I ended up ordering the truck which I highly recommend if your not in a rush.
Are you still able to get the current deals even if you order it ... ? Right now, deals out there are about $10,000-$11,000 off MSRP.

The used 2011 GMC I bought someone had put lights on and when I went to replace them (non GM) I contacted an online parts direct seller and there was a different wiring harness.

Here are a few other threads on cab lights.

If I was close to some of you that had the means I would definitely plan a weekend project to get it done. Left up to me, I would have at least 2 extra holes. I think I'll try to find one with them or order a new one.

The only ones I see in that range are two listings from Dennis Dillon on Autotraders. I assume Laura Buick has a few also. Are you seeing any others, especially Silverados?

No you don't get the current rebates, you get the rebates that are available at delivery. I was able to lock in my trade and discount off of MSRP before I ordered it. The only toss up were the GM incentives. Luckily everything worked out and GM was offering 3K both times.

They should definitely be plug 'n play after installing an OEM harness .... plugs into each cab light and the harness plugs into the passenger side fuse box. My lights are in and my harness should be in this week.
 
My dealer said there isn't an option to add the same lights as factory and that they would have to install recon lights instead? Anyone know if this is really the case?

What? You don't mention your vehicle make/model/year.

When I was looking to replace whatever someone had put on the used GMC I bought I used the website below to find the GM wiring harness and lights. The only reason why I didn't go with GM is because I would have had to drill larger holes for the pig tail connections.

This was the only site that I could find that had the wiring harness listed.
Factory GM Parts and Accessories - Lowest Prices | GMPartsDirect.co

The best I could tell for my 2011 GM's wiring harness connection plugged into the GM lights. Recon's came with the pig tail connector. Now if those would plug into the GM wiring harness that I do not know. In one of the links I previously posted I have pictures of the Recon harness and connector and a GM diagram. For my installation I took the Recon's and clipped the connector off and wired them to what ever someone else previously installed.
 
2015 GMC Duramax. I can't hardly believe you couldn't order the factory lights, but they say only can get recons if the truck didn't come with them installed factory.

Here is what it shows for a 2014. I cannot believe it changed from 2014 to 2015. Maybe it did but I don't know. This diagram looks exactly like what it showed for my 2011 GMC and the same exact harness part number 22823360.

Sorry I posted the wrong harness, mine was 22823374 with Onstar. Irregardless 22823360 and 22823374 are the same for 2011 and 2014.

I thought I saw one online GM seller that listed 2015 parts but which one it was I don't remember. I was looking for the 2015 Duramax decal as I recall.
 
I looked at about a dozen GM parts websites and found no hits on 2015.

First I would contact one of the online GM parts sellers and ask if the harness numbers I gave you works for a 2015. If not then maybe it changed for 2015.
I would also ask if the light assembly part numbers are the same for 2015.

My dealer said it would be no problem to install factory lights and I am scheduled for the install this Friday. We'll see how it turns out :)
 
Thanks for all the info. I will definitely look in to this some more and see what I can find out because I really don't want the cheap recon lights.

Someone in this same thread posted the 2015 harness part number, 23170769.
I would contact them and see if the lights they got are GM and what are the part numbers. I checked 23170769 on one part website and it did come up.

Another choice, find another dealer.
 
Well, picked up my harness today and had to test it .... voila, let there be light. Now need to drop the headliner and start cutting ... total install will be OEM.
