Just picked up a set of SLT headlights. 568 total shipped to door. Ready for a harness!!

Where did you buy the headlights from?

carparts.com. It states that they are factory after market replacements, but the pics are OEM. mafd2 called them and they said the lights are aftermarket, but we believe they are some surplus OEM non GM tagged equipment. Guess we'll see when they arrive.

If you go on website, type the part numbers in search box and they will come up.

Let me know how they look when you get them I will probably order those.

Yes, the rep told me they were aftermarket but according to the pics, they look exactly like OEM GM. The description says OE replacement. Like me and whodatfan talked about, we're thinking probably a surplus, maybe seconds with slight imperfections/cosmetic issues or just from the same factory without GM tag and part numbers on them. If the lights are as pictured (click on the pic to see additional pics), I don't think they were made by an aftermarket company instead just the same lights without the GM numbers. I was told they do have a 1 year warranty. I'm curious to see when whodat gets them in. Please post some pics. Tnx

Put me down for a harness as well! Thanks

Got tracking this morning, but just for one light. They are shipping them separate for whatever reason. Hopefully they get the second out soon. Didn't say out of stock or backordered. Assuming they ship them individually since they are sold individually. Maybe due to size or something.

We found them last week, they my be surplus OEM, but i think they maybe a TYC brand, we see this in the 2010-13 camaros last year they came out with the OEM look headlight at 1/3 the price.

mafd2 · April 20, 2015

I called TYC and they don't make any headlights for the '14/'15 Sierra so it's not them. Like you say, they may be surplus. GM doesn't make headlights so maybe these are made at the same factory that makes them for GM without the GM label? I looked at all the pics close and they are identical to the OEM lights so I'm almost certain they're not aftermarket. They do have a 1 year warranty. I guess we'll see when whodat gets his in.

Just talked to Ofer and he's now taking orders for the harness. I just ordered mine. Here's the link for whoever's interested.

Well did you buy them all up? Because they are sold out! Lol. They only shipped one of mine.
