I've always wondered why the trucks kept the same flat dome light from 88-98 but the Suburbans got the much nicer ones with the 95+ interiors. FYI, the 3rd row Suburban light has a taller bezel than the middle light and will sit completely flush to the Silverado headliner whereas the middle one will not.
Both eras of dome lights function identically but the Suburban fixtures have three wires (orange, white, and black) and the Silverado has two (orange and white). After inspecting how the Silverado fixture is designed and testing the Suburban fixture with a 9v battery I concluded you simply connect the orange and white wires together, and ground the black wire to the metal cab via one of the mounting screws. These pics should explain:
Mounts to the existing holes in the cab and functions perfectly. Looks super factory and I couldn't be happier. I replaced all the bulbs with LEDs while I was at it.
Don't look at my disgusting sun visors though. If anyone has some tan visors in good condition let me know...
