Ltz supposed to have LED lights

[junction44]

Hi, I just bought my 2018 Silverado Midnight Edition 2500.  Its a Duramax, LTZ plus Z71.  Is it supposed to have LEd turn signals, tail lights, etc?  Is;nt that part of the LTZ package?  Thanks in advance

Not on 2500's. No idea why though.

Perhaps some of silverado differences is because of  2 headlamp/4 headlamp systems?

Thanks for the replys. I stopped by the dealership and they told me that the 2500's don't come with LED lights.  He didn't really know why and I didn't press him.

I added Morimoto LED Hi/low and fogs to my 2017.

CRApex, do you have any pictures? also, how are you liking them now that you've had them in for a while, and what is your recommendation over HID's?

I had a 2017 GMC Denali 1500, that came with LED’s so when I bought the Silverado I was as disappointed as you they don’t come with LED’s (and its a High Country).  The Morimoto’s are comparable with the factory LED’s from the Denali but I would say the high beams are even better on my Silverado with the high beam LED’s.  The fogs work fine, not stellar.  I added the fogs( replacement housing assy) so it would match and not blind oncoming traffic by putting LED’s in a non-projector housing.  As far as HID’s..I don’t know,. I’ve been told the HID’s are brighter but they also degrade over time.  I’m happy with the LED’s and think they work great.

I didnt see if you mentioned it before but did you need any kind of wiring harness or anything for the LED's or were you able to plug them in and go?

The kit came with the appropriate plug and play harness.  I can't remember if it was extra or if it came with but you also need the anti-flicker harness so the daytime running lights work (I believe it was an option you select at the time of checkout).  The only tricky part is the dust cover modification.  The kit includes a rubber extension that goes in a hole that needs to be cut in the factory housing access cover.  Not a big deal.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks again
