those are 2016 to 2018 though. Assuming this will not fit a 2021.

Hard to believe a part from a car that's only three yrs old is discontinued, even if it is a limited production vehicle.

Pretty sure it's just the set (upgrade kit) that is discontinued, the individual L/R lights aren't. Even if GM didn't want to keep producing them for the occasional upgrader, the 2018 ZL1 1LE requires it, and many of those cars are still under bumper to bumper.

I knew about ordering by individual parts vs the 84316777 discontinued kit. Based on your post, now I know why they have the core charge and want you to return your original (red) ones. I'm guessing they take the red ones and rework them thus the reason for the defects.

Who knows, maybe mine were reworked. They definitely didn't look new.

If you buy the rear bumper and other components then I don't see why the 2016+ lights wouldn't fit. I guess it depends on how much you are willing to spend. I would say it would run you $1200+ for the 2016-2018 conversion

Yes and yes.

Let's hope they actually do have stock, as this kit was reported to be discontinued.

If those are not in stock, there is always ACS Composites that have OEM Smoked Rear Tailights for sale. They would be like a hundred dollars more than the GM Parts direct after you add the shipping and all, but they have them. ACS may even discount a little bit if you call them. Worth a try.
