- Enjoy this How-To Video on retrofitting 2014 - 2017 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra Trucks with these Illuminated Door Handles. These illuminated handles are made by GM for 2014 - 2017 Cadillac Escalades. This video will show you how I installed them onto my 2016 Silverado. These were purchased on eBay. For more information, please visit www.GM-Trucks.com
As an electronics technician an 17 year aircraft electrician I applaude you doing the mod in a professional manner.
Appreciate that! I like to do things as if it came off the factory floor with the option.
That’s awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
not gonna lie but these type of videos with tons of detail are amazing
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.
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.
Do the Cadillac handle lights double as turn signals? Or would I have to do some modifications/retrofitting for a turn signal feature?
GM has them setup as puddle lights, so they only come on at night with key fob unlock. You can wire them however want and can tie them to a blinker. I did that with mine. Before I got rid of them and the truck, I had switchback LEDs put in and the white led operate as a running light (always on when park lamp/running lights are on) then blink amber when turn signals were used.
Great video... You always go the extra mile with details!!! Thanks for all your videos!!! Great job buddy!!!
However just a minor point, the rear door connectors have only 2 columns of wires so a corner pin would be 2 not 3
Power and ground are positions 1 and 2. Position 3 is the next corner position.
Bro that’s clean great work I need this on my truck
Would this work for a 2015 yukon xl denali?
No. Just for the truck platform. Contact me at HarnessDR.com and can get you contact info of who can.
Hey bud I have 2014 single cab I really do like your information really happy about your Channel great job on your truck keep on bring us great content
Brayan Rebollar - Thanks! I’ll have some new content in the months to come. Thanks for your support!
That is AWESOME..
Solid work.
for a 2018 sierra 1500 denali what year escalade do i need you think?
Any escalade that has them from factory. 2015 - 2019 I think?
I wish this was possible to do with my 1999 silverado
I would love to have those on my 2015 Denali truck.
you my friend have some skills
Awesome video as always my friend.
Thanks! Gonna give the switchback LED version a go soon. :)
Good educational video, thank you
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.
Is it possible to get the passive entry buttons to work without the push to start?
nope.
Very nice work good job
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?
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?
elrobbodiablo1 - Yes you can.. but since the rear doors don’t, I had to deliver that signal to the back doors.
Is your truck 4x4?
2WD
@@traildisc155 Yes?
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!
That’s bad ass 👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾
So I love vehicles that have the automatic door handle option. Like the 2019-2020 models, is they a way to install that on the 2014-2018 models?
Not at this time.
So what happens if for some reason your battery dies and you can’t use your FOB to open the door? You just eliminated the manual key hole?
Great work!
J Jizzal - Thank you!
I purchased some of these door handles and I noticed water is getting inside where led strip is..and recommendations what I can do to prevent water from getting in? Thanks for any info
No modification done to the handles?
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.
what are eliminated door handles?
Handles that come as an option on Escalades. They light up at night when you unlock the doors.
“Illuminated” not eliminated
I found Cadillac handles from a 2018 or 2019 the guy said. Would they work on my 2017 Silverado ?
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
Would these work for a 2019 Tahoe lt with the button on the handles ?
I would image they are the same but can't confirm.
I bought some off eBay the end caps on the back don’t fit any suggestions????
Did you make a wire kit for theses yet
Yes - contact me at
for more info.
Phil Gamboa how much
Jake depends on your needs. Contact me at HarnessDR.com.
@@philgamboa2906 do u have one thats plug and play now ?
My wiring coming to the door has the two wires going to it just like yours in slot 3 however there is no power running to it at any point. Do you happen to have any additional advice that could help. Thanks
Also wanted to add I really like how well informed your videos are. Extremely well made.
Is the back door handles fit in the front or is different
Do you install on the side ? I need mines done but I am afraid I will mess something up. I am in midland Texas , but will travel .
Phi, I’m about to do this same thing to my truck but will need some of these connectors for the doors harness. Would I be able to buy 16 of them form you. 6males and 6females.
what is the part# for the door handles?
Love the video, by any chance do you know the part number for the pin connector, that go inside the cab. I ordered the one you put on the video but thought they came female and male but only got the female
Contact me at HarnessDR.com
Got it done on my truck already, took me 2 days but looks real good 👍🏼
@@sinaloa644 Nice!!!
Great job, installing this on my 16 as well and needed to know if you had any idea what the part numbers are for the brown plugs you said were back ordered?
SRVWSB-03A-CN
Thanks is this the same number for all 4 or are the fronts different
These brown plugs are for the back and 3-pin. The fronts are a white connector and 5-pin. Since I only needed only the 3-pin, I got those and their mates. The 5-pin white connector were on backorder. So i just repinned them all to the brown 3-pin.
SRVPB-C03-N - Female (Door Handle Side)
SRVWSB-03A-CN - Male (Harness Side)
What gauge do u use for wire
Have you found a way to utilize the passive keyless with those Escalade handles??? I’m very interested in trying this along with a push to start button
Nope. There are a lot of modules involved though.
Phil Gamboa is it more than the passive keyless module with the antennas? If you believe there is a way I would really like to try and do it. After having these features on my last vehicle for over 6 years it was hard for me to believe GM didn’t and still hasn’t done this on our trucks
Love your videos! I have been wanting to upgrade my 2015 sierra denali with a push start ignition. Do you think the 2016 yukon ignition would be compatible?
Thanks! To answer your question, it is not possible to integrate push to start ignition. There are security protocols, modules, programming, etc...
That’s sick. Great job and thanks for sharing.
Have you done anything like this on the new GM trucks?
Phil please help me with the center console i left a comment there
Is it possible to put these on a 2013 sierra?
Do they make these with driver door key hole?
This is super tempting to add on my '14 Sierra - just unsure if the Escalade was made in the same color as my truck...
They didn't. Had to get them painted.
Can i do this on a 2012 silverado
Tray Harris I don’t think the handles will fit.
Do they come on the 2012 or 2013 models
@@harristray92 no
Where did you get the handles and wiring and how much were they? Thank you.
Bought them from eBay last year sometime. Then sent them off to a company to get switchback LEDs installed. Cost was probably $600-ish all in.
Phil Gamboa will these door handles stay on all day or how does it work? Would I be able to turn them on with my fog lights or headlights and not the day running light.
great vid, have extra parts? Plugs and terminals?
just bought a set myself. looking to thrown them on myself as well.
having difficulty finding the plugs without buying in bulk.
Did you ever find the terminals if so what's the part number?
Jesus Rios negative, he won’t sell anything but the harness on his website
These will fit 2018 Silverado
Yup. 14-18
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?
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
Hey I was wondering where I could buy the exact ones that you used in the video( black and with lights) for my 2015 3500hd crew cab(4 doors) Silverado. Thanks 🙏
I bought them from eBay. There is a seller that sells them in a lot of 4. But they are all Green Envy in color That's how mine came and got them painted. The bases are green, the top cover piece is a "platinum" color...not quite chrome, put painted. So I was able to get the entire handle painted/color match to black GBA.
Hello Phil I know you get asked a lot if they will fit their trucks lol but do you think it would fit a 2008 Silverado? Please and thank you in advance.
I don't think they do. My personal truck is a 2016 and know they will fit 2014 - 2018. Sorry bud.
do you offer a harness for this mod as well?
Yes - Contact me at HarnessDR.com and will get you a quote.
What it work on a 2010 Chevy work truck
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?
Do you know if they are compatible with a 2019 yukon sle?
Not sure. On the truck platform 2019 is a new generation, new body style.
@@philgamboa2906 2019 is new for trucks suv's are still 2018 but for 19-20
That looks like a lot of time painting disassembling to much run around I rather just go Gloss black and that's that.
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?
Hi would you happen to have another set available? If so I'm interested in them thanks.
aaron rodriguez - No sir. I do not.
Thank you awesome video!!
Phil, so you happen to know which circuit on the door harness is utilized for the turn signal? i'm thinking about having the lighted door handles on in run mode and flashing on turn mode. this should be possible with built in mirror signal if they exist i just don't know which circuit, can you help me out?
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.
@@philgamboa2906 Are those pin numbers the same for the 2500? got an 18 and doing the switchback handles. If I can tap off the door harness in the front in the cab, and run the wire to the back it would make it much easier. Do you have wire colors also, or how I would read the plug to get the correct pins? Appreciate any help. Happy holidays.
@@philgamboa2906 Also do you do installs? I see you're in Texas, I'm close to Dallas.
Z Sellers - Email me at gamboaphil@gmail.com
@@philgamboa2906 was it easy to separate to switching out the LED to switchback LED? I was looking at mine and didn't feel like tearing it apart in case there's a trick to it.. lol
If Anyone is curious, the oem connector the gentleman here refers to is a JST SRV connector. Through much dismay and a ton of digging, I found the connectors, if you already have passive door locks on your vehicle you should be able to just add your 12V trigger wire and pin into female end of JST SRV connector and tie into your power source (pin 3) as he states in the video.
Thanks for sharing!
where can i buy these and how much thank u ?
eBay
Phil what’s the tool number 01 or 02 ?
Are those caps hard to take apart?
Would this installation work on a 2016 Escalade?
Phil, can you please tell me if the front handle is the same as the rear handle or perhaps you have a part number for the front handles so i can order them.
i see sets on ebay and they say rear but i don't see sets saying front is why i ask. thanks in advance
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.
i have ordered the front handles but now need the connectors. i did find the part number on your video but can't locate them online without buying 100+. can you recommend a seller for.... hmmm wait, i think the male ends? or do i need both?
Send me an email. Let's go over this. phil.gamboa@icloud.com
sorry to keep bothering you, i did manage to find all of the parts needed for this retro fit so i'm all set now. again i want to thank you for the well thought out informative videos on diy upgrades. top notch and i hope to see more in the future. A+
Would you do the install for me if I purchased the handles myself ? Paid of course.
I live dang near in Pearland, if you are in surrounding city, can I pay you to do the install for me?
I am in Mckinney, just north of Dallas.
Do u sell the two pin connectors
Where u located??
Tray Harris Dallas
I was wondering if you could retrofit these on a GMC Sierra 1500 as I’ve seen a couple people on Instagram do it to there’s... If so let me know, I’ll drive to Texas...
Hey Hey 2014 - 2018 Sierras use the same handles :)
Holy fuck the LED light thing is getting way out of hand.
Looking for the handles that are chrome 17 High Country has them. Do they make them and where do I buy and cost please and the Installation would need to be done by a professional?
Anthony Macneil - If you're looking for the chrome and not these illuminated handles, you can find those for about $50 on ebay. Installation of the handles themselves are not too bad and there are several videos out there specially for installation so I did not include those steps.
Herr are the handles on eBay I found.
www.ebay.com/itm/202015764575
Phil Gamboa Looking for the chrome lighted ones please.
Anthony Macneil I have not seen GM - Chrome - Illuminated ones specifically for our trucks. I've also looked through the 1600 page electrical Upfitter manuals and haven't seen any references to illuminated handles.
These all did come painted as a "Platinum" color and look like chrome, with the base color match to the Escalade.

these look junkie on ebay. how do you feel about them?
They Phil great job!! Do you do installs for others? I would not be able to do this myself
I have offered my services to do these for anyone local to Dallas. Cost is $250. Takes about 4-6 hours to complete.
