The GMC parts are for GMC, Chevy for Chevy. They don't share everything like they used to 20-30 years ago where you could just swap stuff.

So the $750 you spent for GMC stuff, you need the fenders, hood, grille, lights, everything except for maybe some hard parts that swap like core support and radiator.

So you have to finish turning your Chevy into a GMC for this to work.

I believe the chevy has 4 separate headlights the gmc is 1 per side with high and low in the same bulb. The wiring might be different. Hopefully just on the headlight side.You definitely need the sierra fenders.

Chevy that year 2014 and 2015 its one headlight assembly per side. The lamp is a dual lamp (top section is low beam, bottom is high beam), but its all one lamp assembly.

I ment that it has 4 bulbs. The gmc has 2 total. I would think gm would make these changes in the headlight assembly and not on the harness, so as to keep cost down but I don't know for sure because all I own is gmc.
