Default Denali headlights in a Sierra

Anyone know if GMC Denali headlights (the projector ones) will fit in a GMC Sierra 2500? Both are 2004's. The dimensions look right, im just wondering what the swap may entail..

They will swap but the denali lights have a different housing than the stock ones so they will stick out a bit more than you might like.

I always liked the way they sat out a bit. I've used the Denali Lights on 2 of my previous 04 GMC's and loved them. I'll post some pics when I find them.

How far do they stick out? Is it something that can be fixed with some bucket or mounting modification?

LOL,
I have the same lights as spoolin
I was worried they would look too ricey when I was buying them.
But they actually look really good on a truck.
They are almost an exact replica of the denali lights, but with halos and a black background. They actually work too.
I even had a random 60 year old guy comment on how nice they looked.

To answer your question, no.
You will need to buy the denalis (which look kinda ricey with the chrome background anyway)
All the aftermarket lights look somewhat goofy.

I need to update my sig pic someday.

They only stick out about a 1/4 inch further then the stockers, it looks like alot at first, but is easy to get use to. Overall they look alot nicer then the stockers imo.

They fit on a sierra the same way they fit on a denali. They only stick out about ¼”. It’s just that the sierra lights fit real nice and smooth to the hood/grill lines. The denalis hump out a bit. Probably because of the depth of the projector.

It would be pretty tough to change the fit.
It will only bug you for the first 5 minutes

I never really even noticed they stood out further once they were on. You can't really even tell by the pics.
