03-07c silverados will work in your truck. You will have to modify the bulb sockets or get silverado harnesses. Night shades work, but does not hold up as well as car paint and clear

Yes. I actually have a pair of smoked sierra tail lights that are done in car paint, I have for sale now. A tab on each is broken, but is kinda a easy fix. You can not see the amber really. Possibly interested. Fixen the tabs is easier then painting them.

Night shades will look like **** in 2 years esp in mich weather. For a set of smoked oem silvys look to pay from 120-170 buks. You can not use black paint unless you over reduce it alot.

To get just a set of tails done up here, is between 70 and 100.
