”GM released the cropped image of the new truck's headlamp and front grille assembly today to inform us that it will reveal the next Silverado during a special event in the Detroit area on December 13, 2012.

The unveiling will take place in advance of the truck's public premiere at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in mid-January, where GM will also debut the next Corvette C7.”

base model will probably be a halogen projector, and LTZ, Denali will be an upgraded projector with HIDs. There's still a big difference between the 2 projectors, but this is something common with a lot of new vehicles.

Just to add to this thread:

The Sierra has projectors in these pics but the Silvy does not. I wonder why.

I imagine that in like many vehicles, lighting upgrades come as options or as part of different trim levels. As posted earlier GM released a pic of the Silverado projectors ... compared to the reflectors in the MT pics I guess they will be an option.

What is more worrisome is that those have the characteristics/color of halogen projectors and not HID. I'm hoping GM doesn't drop the ball on this one ... from what I can see on their respective sites, the new Ram trucks have halogen projectors as an option and the F150s hid, or at least I know the Raptor comes with hid projectors.

We shall see how all this translates to the SUVs ... i know that manufacturers are hesitant to put hid projectors on pickups because of the high mounting points, hopefully GM will come through on their SUVs.

I bet the Tahoe, Yukon, and Denali models will have a HID projector option somewhere in their trim levels. Maybe halogen HID could just be what is used on the test cars. Just like the tail lights used on the 2014 Escalade, which I am almost positive will not be the production run rear lights.
On thing is for sure, the SUVs will get rear windows that can roll all the way down as shown by the spy photo pics.

No, he's talking about the 2nd row windows. The new SUVs have a window sail so that the back windows can come all the way down.
