I'm trying to order a replacement tail lamp assembly for a 2007 ( 10/2006 ) GMC Sierra 2500 HD truck, and need the trim subtype before i can match up the tail lamp assembly online in many parts stores, or even amazon. So far i can find nothing on the truck ( Classis SL, SLT, WT, etc.. etc.. ) to id it. Will the VIN tell me.

The lamp assembly i *THINK* it is, for a rear , passanger side assy is: Depo 335-1901R-ASD , but a TYC 11-5185-90 looks the same to me as well, just looking at online pics.

Any ideas?

thanks

I can remember from long ago when the VIN would tell, but I don't know if that's still the case or not. I would suspect that it is. Perhaps this website might help; no guarantees.:D

Why not go to the dealer.Get the correct part number, then shop around for the best price.

A phone call to the parts dept. would do it. Did you check with the dealer or are you guessing they won't do it.

I'm guessing you didn't read my message or are trolling, I'll stick you on ignore now. ( yes i did call the dealer, no, they would not give me a part number ), yes, they were about 7 x as expensive as the ones i can find online, now that i know what to look for.)

So no, a phone call to the dealer 'would not do it'

Since yours is a Classic, I think the only difference is between dually and not dually trucks. Dually trucks had a raised black plastic trim surrounding all the lights. Non duallys also had a black border around the lights, but it is flush not raised. Earlier trucks (approx. 2003) had flush red borders around the lights. Also assuming you have the yellow turn signal lenses.
With aftermarket lights, some are NSF certified and some are CAPA certified. Most insurance companies, prefer CAPA certified parts.

If this has "box" and was not a chassis cab unit. GM part number 19169021 left, 19169022 right.

It was a pickup, not cab / chassis. I tried classicmslt and SLT in the match up boxes, and it did not effect the lamps any, though some other trim packages did, so I think I have a correct OE style lamp coming.
