I just installed these Illuminated door sills on my 2015 Tahoe and I seen there was a trend about them so I thought I'd share mine and how easy they were to install. I'll post some pics and try and explain what I did on mine took me about 45 mins to do but that was including me picking up the camera so this should be a pretty simple and quick install for everyone. I bought them off ebay at the link below.

First thing I did was remove the drivers door sill and B pillar panel and pass side door sill.

Then I removed the new harness that comes with the sills and started installing it. Starting with the ground wire which mounted at the b pillar with a 10 mm bolt as seen in pics.

Then I ran the harness up to the drivers side door sill along the factory wiring up the kick panel. Which is were you will get power from the bcm but I first ran the harness to the pass side through the lower dash across the center console to the pass side below the glove box using black zip ties along the way.

I came out behind this panel and routed the harness over to were the door sill was going to be installed.

Now back over to the drivers side door sill to get power and put the drivers side on. If you lay in the floor board on the drivers side and look just above the emergency brake you will see the BCM. The plug you need is the gray plug its the left most plug. The wire is the gray wire just below Number 1 if you look at the plug. What I did is different than what is called for but I cut the new pin off the new door sill harness and extended the wire about 5 inches and soldered and taped it due to not wanting to remove the pin and to have a little pig tail for me to get to when I put lighted running boards on later just to make my job easier. Plus I capped off the other side of the new harness. Its all clean and factory looking you would never know anyone had done anything down there.

I then installed the drivers side door sill plugged it up and snapped everything back the same way I removed everything.

It matches the interior lighting I didn't think that It would match the way it does now if they would only make some for the rear sills. I hope this helps someone out and if anyone has any questions I'd be glad to help. I got the escalade lights all figured out for the 2015 Tahoe Ill be posting on them in the near future.

No problem hope this helps since there's no instructions you have to get the technical notes from Gm on the install.

Installed the GMC illuminated door sills in my 2016 Denali today. Super easy, probably took less than 30 minutes. It matches the lighting around the climate control area perfectly, and is a really nice addition to the interior.
