2005 z71 after market grill and light kit.

[Churchman]

I purchased online and after market grill and one piece light kit for truck. It looks great but some of the light sockets do not fit. After reading the fine print, It said excludes 2005 Z71. Question is can I convert the light sockets to the right size going to and auto parts store? an example is the 3157 amber bulb will will not pass through the hole. Also I came with now instructions for the led strip hook up but am I correct that its ties in to the side indicator lights so it stays on a DRL.
Thanks, Church

I have no experience with the lights you're talking about, pics might help, what socket do you need? It could be a simple swap, you could need resistors it's hard to tell with out knowing which bulb and or socket instead of the factory 3157

Kinda looks like a smooshed escalade front end. I can see why people may like it, but it's just not my thing either.

OP, I wasn't criticizing, I was just saying it reminded me of a Ford. I think everyone has their taste, so to each their own, Imo. How about some pics of the lights and sockets so we can see what you need help with.

I'm actually going to go back stock with a few grill changes and new lens. One of the HID came loose and melted the lens and was basically burning when i pulled in the garage. POS!!!! Company said sorry over 60 days. If it Looks like this, Stay away!!!

Little late to the party but I like that set up , I knew right away which ones you were talking about . They're a newer style and not many have the guts to buy them. I was strongly thinking to buy them and do a retrofit (still might). All black tho, I think the chrome is too much, but on white it blends in ok.
That sucks they crapped out on you.
I bought 1 piece headlights for my 05 Silverado, was the first one on the forum to buy them. Everyone was talking crap but I didn't care. They actually looked really good. Now you see quite a few including cover and show trucks with those same lights.
I think suvs deserve bigger headlights, just need to be executed right.

Btw 05 z71 has the same lights as all tahoes 00-06 so I'm not sure why it was excluded. Sometimes the Chinese guy who owns the eBay store has no clue about trucks.
