Re: Big Red

one question...
other than appearance, is there a physical difference between the Silverado and Sierra tail light assemblies?

The mounting tabs are broken on my passenger tail light, so i need to replace it...
I much prefer the look of the Silverado tails.

Re: Big Red

On the taillights, I'd bet they'd bolt right in.

Any updates? These kinda threads are my favorites: fix and drive, upgrade and drive, repeat...

I swapped the 03 and later Red tail lights over to the earlier Amber and red tail lights.

The Red tail lamp housings are a direct swap.

The 99-02 Amber & Red tail lights and the 03-07 Red tail lights have a different number of lamps. They used different pigtails from the lamps down to the Metripack plugs on the distribution block on the left hand end of the rear frame rail crossmember. I fished the pigtails out along with the lamp housing from a 2001 donor truck.
