No they are not factory but could have been dealer installed aftermarket lights..
Factory or dealer installed GM Parts would have been recessed into the body. They are the same lights as the pickup.



Parts in the kit I sold

I'm sure the experts in subs and panels will chirp in. Be patient, I've been proven to be wrong.

I took mine off and boxed them up, I don't think they look good where they mounted them.

I think those lights are add on lights for trailer hook up.
