Discovery4us,
Well Sir, I might be able to help here but, what I need to know is, what year of Silverado are you planning on using? On our toad, an '11 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 Extended Cab, I did it the easy way. I did it the same way I've wired the last ELEVEN toads we've owned. And that way is to utilize the stock tail light bulbs for toad lights.
Some people cringe at it and think the entire vehicle is going to burn to the ground if you mess with the factory wiring. Well, in all those toads, using the exact same method, I've NEVER had any issues what so ever. And, the really good part to me is, anyone following our toads, see natural tail light operation, including amber turn signals if and when equipped, depending on what kind of toad we had at the time.
Anyway, it's an incredibly simple system to setup. If you'd like to see how I did it, PM me and I'd send you a wiring diagram that I drew up showing every bit of the setup.
