Here is my write up on how to do this yourself. First let me start by saying I'm not super handy- but this was really simple to do yourself.

Step 1 is to remove the inner part of the over head console- flip down the sunglass holder so you can get your hand in there. Give a gentle tug and it pops right out.

step 2- pull the center console far enough down so you can access 2 Phillips head screws- that is all that hold the outer console to the roof. hardest part of this step is pulling all the wires and harness out of your way. the back of the center panel is held in by a "tongue and groove" in the back( closest to the windshield) it requires a firm down and in pull to get it to pop out- this was the scariest part for me because I was a bit nervous my gorilla tactic was going to break those clamps. now you unscrew- the main console will drop down

step 3- removal of the old lamp assembly- disconnect the male and female connector. the little light diod is clipped in to a slide clip- just pop it out
and put in new light module.

step 4- repeat on other side.

step 5 test the lights - all good ! now reverse steps to put back together- once again screw back the 2 phillips- hardest part again is clicking in the back of the main cosole. then simple pop back the middle console piece and your done.

part # GM 23396157. You will need 2. I purchased from GMpartscenterplus in Chandler AZ. The list price is $53.50, I paid $37.52 each with free shipping. They arrived in 3 days.

I hope this helps- simple easy fix

Just did mine. Super Easy. Ended up getting some new ones off of Ebay.

Every time I touched the pedal or turn signal.

So we started noticing that whenever my wife or I depressed the brake pedal the 2nd and 3rd row reading lights would strobe on and off once. Really annoying at night as they are quite bright. Like there's a photographer in the back seat with the flash on.

Took it to dealer and they were able to replicate it. They called GM Tech Support and we're told that GM is aware of the issue but no fix has been found yet. So we get to live with this until they find an electrical gremlin :-(

My 2015 Tahoe LT with sunroof is doing the same thing. My third row lights come on with the brakes and occasionally strobe. They also flash with my left turn signal. Tonight the drivers side front light also flashed with my turn signal, but only momentarily.

I thought about buying a complete overhead console off of eBay out of a newer model vs replacement lights. However, all of them have a 2 switch sunroof arrangement. My 2015 uses a single switch. Also, mine has the fold down mirror to view the back seats. I've attached some images of what I've seen on ebay. I'd love to swap mine as it has a broken bracket and doesn't fit flush to the ceiling nearest the sunroof (small gap).

The first image doesn't have the mirror, but appears to have additional lights and switch? Anyone have this model?

The second one has 2 pockets? What are they? I assume one is the mirror like I have... no clue what the other one is.

The last image looks like mine, but has 2 switches vs 1 for the sunroof. I guess I could swap my switch over if my wiring won't plug in.. and maybe add an auxillary switch for something? Maybe extra lighting.

Has anyone swapped their overhead console? This just seems like a great option, assuming I get one from a newer Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade that has the updated leds. I wouldn't mind having additional lighting if the first style will work.

Thanks!
