Great video... You always go the extra mile with details!!! Thanks for all your videos!!! Great job buddy!!!

not gonna lie but these type of videos with tons of detail are amazing

Thanks a lot for posting this! I have a Cadillac XT5 which had a nick on the door handle's aluminum trim piece. The XT5 has a same make/style of door handle as the ones shown in your video. From 4:50, I was able to determine that I could remove the trim cover without needing to remove the handle from the door. I purchased a replacment handle from a salvage XT5 and in 2 minutes, I was able to swap out the aluminum cover. Now the door handle is as good as new.

Bro that’s clean great work I need this on my truck

Looks great Phil! I'm looking at adding these to my 2015 Sierra HD Denali, I think I'll also make the lock\unlock buttons functional. I think I'll use a low power bluetooth tag that will go on the keychain and then an esp32 module in the truck that will detect if the tag is within proximity based on signal strength. Run the wires from the buttons on the handles to an input on the esp32, little bit of logic and then just tap into the lock\unlock button to trigger the locks with mosfets or relays.

Phil, Looks great and job well done sir. As much as I like these illuminated handles, Installation is not quite as plug & play as the DL8 to DL3 swap outs. But as always I enjoyed your video, You have a one off Silverado there sir, Nice indeed.

Timothy Banes - Thanks! While this may not look Plug and Play, the wiring was not too bad. I like doing things the way I think GM would have done it. To install this the way I did, it would require special tools, like the terminal removal tool, terminals, and connectors. I also used an actual GM Crimp tool as well. There are easier methods to accomplish this using splices/taps. The goal here was to show everyone how I did it and how I think GM did it on the Escalade.

Good educational video, thank you

Great work!

Phil, first of all, I am huge into factory-style mods for my vehicles, so stumbling on your impressive work on the Silverado is really cool to me. I don't know how much you'd know about other Chevrolet models (specifically the 2016+ Malibu, I have a 2018 Hybrid) but if you do, do you know if GM uses the same size handles for most of their newer vehicles? I am looking to do this mod to my Malibu and am just weighing my options. The shapes/sizes of these handles all look very similar so I'm not sure if I need to be looking for ones off a specific vehicle (maybe CTS) or if any illuminated Cadillac handle would be fine. I was originally just going to do a simple swap to the Premier chrome handles, but then I had a hunch about these and realized I was not the only one!

Your videos are epic! Thank you very much for them! I was wondering how much you would charge to make a plug amd play harness for these to fit my 16 sierra denali?

Solid work.

Can I use the ones for the back doors on the front doors I have a single cab 2016 Silverado LT 5.3 V8 and all I can find on eBay are back door ones after seeing this video u change the plugs to two pins or do I need to look for the front doors specific thank you the video it’s great information

Phil, just saw this post. Is this option available in Chrome with the LED strip for the 2016 Silverado 2500HD DURAMAX LTZ 4X4 ?? If so we need to talk again. Because I will want this function for my truck. LOL

Years ago You could buy these style of handles for your truck or cars. Through companies like J.C. Whitney. If I remember right those would work in conjunction with your turn signals. I don’t know if these do or not . I’ve never seen one come to think about it. They sure look great on your truck. Nice job 👍.

Since this video, I actually changed them up a bit. Had switchback LEDs retrofitted so that they white light would come on as a running light and blink amber with the turn signal.

Was trying to figure out what my next upgrade will be... Since I installed towing mirrors and got 2 new door harness from you, do you happen to make a harness for this upgrade?

Do they make these with driver door key hole?

I have a 2018 Silverado 1500 w/t with non power folding mirrors or even puddle lights , can these still be installed in my truck?

Great video, very detailed. I’m curious if your truck already had puddle lights in the mirrors why did you have to run a new wire from the door jam plug? Could you have just powered these handles from the puddle light wires?

Hey Phil, I noticed that in your AutoSync Vid that you posted on Jan. 30, 2020 you handle LED's were blinking Amber. Did you swap out the LED strip? or do they switch from White to Yellow?

Do these stay on while driving ? If not where could I connect them so that they do

@philgamboa2906

The physical handles are the same. In the OEM application of installing these on Escallades, you'll want specific fronts/rears for the proper wiring. Fronts have a 5-pin wiring system where rears have a 3-pin. If installing in our trucks, you'll be fine with either. One thing to note: With these handles, the smaller part of the handles will all have steel base inserts. On our trucks, the rear door handles have a plastic insert. You'll need to swap those over. But otherwise, you'll be fine.

In the door jamb, Pin #41 is the turn signal circuit. You won't be able to achieve that functionality since the light on the handle is a single light source. I switched mine up to LED Switchbacks that are on all the time (white) when my headlights are on, and flash amber when turn signal is applied. I ran the running lamp circuit (Pin # 11 on the door jamb) to it.
