Black Betty 2018 Z71 Silverado....build

[Doubeleive]

also ordered the DL8 power fold and turn signal mirrors a few days ago $770 they come complete with a custom harness and the required door switch, I get a $100 back if I send my existing wire harness back to the seller then I can sell the original power only mirrors and recoup a little more money so it wont hurt as bad.

I ordered a master switch for the LTZ door panel swap I’m doing on mine that has the power fold buttons since my mirrors are power fold but there was no place to plug them in on the harnesses. I’m also getting harnesses from a Tahoe that has the function and when I program the switch module with my Tech2 I’m hoping they will work. Fingers crossed.

mine is a 2lt so it has some of the ltz wiring, I checked and it has the wires for the blinker/power fold up to the harness connector in the door jam, I bought the set from Phil the harness dr. over on gm trucks, with his harness and the mirrors and switch it is all plug-n-play I just wont have the memory function like a ltz but there is a option to add it later but I would have to order door panels also most likely however on these trucks they put the memory buttons on the door handle trim instead of on the door panel so not sure.

Love that look!

put some of these auxito amber led's in the front housings, these have built in resistors and they actually worked (no hyperflash), pretty bright too

these headlights on this truck are crazy, the blinker and drl and projector are all one unit basically, the blinker bulb just sits in a little plastic cap with metal contacts that twist's into the housing. you cant even add external resistors if you wanted to unless you tore the whole housing apart or rewired the harness, no wonder they cost $1000 (each)

No they're $1000 each because GM made it hard to replace with something else aftermarket and decided they would charge $1000 each for that privilege. Just like the SUV led tail lights that are the same price and fail right out of warranty.

received the new resistors from morimoto for the tail lights, they worked! no hyper flash, these have good brightness in daylight so I am happy, for $475 i'm not ecstatic with the tail lights but there different the other brands on the market I see have high failure rates, these have a 10yr warranty so well see how it goes.

Looks like a really nice fit, like they could be OEM equipment. Actually, saying they're at OEM level would probably be an insult to the Morimotos.

received the power fold turn signal mirrors and harness so these will go in this weekend weather permitting, just gotta figure out how to take these door panels off without f-in them up

I like these from Harbor Freight:

I'm sure the same thing could be found on Amazon, probably for a little cheaper.

ya I have the deluxe set of those, I just need to watch a couple youtube video's so I don't break anything I'm sure these panels are not cheap being this new nothing else is, lol

I think my next big purchase on this is going to be Audio I'm spoiled my last truck had 2 12" and component set's, etc. The yukon has JL's, this truck has no thump! I want to see what comes out for CES this year hopefully the big brands will have something fresh
I guess CES already happened I keep thinking it's later in the year

couple of night shot's there pretty bright so the camera has a hard time capturing the 3d effect

They look like they're about a foot deep in the pics!

it's a optical illusion they are only about an inch or so deep and it has a mirror inside

managed to get the power fold turn signal mirrors installed without to much trouble, wind blew over one of my door panels and scuffed it a hair but nothing unbearable
