  1. self quoted, for some reason the original pic links quit working. But in the quote they come up just fine.......... I dunno.. For those that are still looking for help wiring fog lamps in, hope this still helps!!!
  2. Looks like you did a good job securing the ground to clean metal, if that is ruled out I would double check the terminal in the fuse block...make sure its positively secured in the housing and that its in the correct socket! Post up if you get it working!!
  3. Nowhere in the instructions does it say to flash the module. I would guess there is a ground that needs some attention. Where did you attach the fog lamp harness to the frame?
  4. Mine is a 2011 with 5.3 Aluminum. Most of my driving is in town and I do not drive it nicely. I broke it in like I stole it, but I like synthetic oil not the Dexos stuff. I changed the engine oil for the first time at about 1100 miles and it was almost 3/4 quart low. The last oil change was about 4600 miles (the oil life meter read 15%) and the dipstick was at the add line. No leaks, no blue smoke on start or driving. I have no lifter tick, just an occasional tap at start, just like my 2007 did. If it starts using a lot more I will update my findings.
  5. yes I purchased the GM kit, but since I work there I wont post the price.. I dont know how much the Sierra kit would run, or how much more or less it would be to install it. one piece bumper vs 1000 piece on the Chevy. What were they thinking!?!? From what I can tell, on the Sierra, you already have the pockets for the lamps. I personally would find a nice set of projectors and fab up mounting in the existing holes, make a single wire power harness and get the foglamp ready headlamp switch and go to town.
  6. Here are the pics I promised of the wires at the fuse block for the fog lamp kit on the GMT900 Silverado All pics are hosted on Photobucket, I am sorry if like me at work you cant view them. Get back to work!! LOl!! Fuse block note the small gauge clean wire loom roing to the front of the cover. This is the power supply single wire for the foglamps Pull the cove off and lift the gray handles like so. The fuse block will lift straight up revealing the wire junction connectors beneath This is the junction block connectors under the fuse block. The bottom left light gray connector is the one that needs pulled. The single purple wire is the power wire Another pic, same connector removed showing the purple wire again the point of my special GM pointing tool shows where the terminal goes with the connector in place. The red slides on the side of the connector need to be removed before you insert the terminal. they are the 'Position Assurance Locks' that keep all the terminal firmly seated. just slide them out the side of the connector with a small flat screwdriver or pick. Once installed, they look and perform exactly like trucks that have them equipped from the factory. For color comparison, my low beams are PIAA bulbs now, the fogs have the stock bulb. Its not a normal bulb, it looks more like an Osram style bulb. It puts out quite a bit of light. focal pattern is good for stock lamps, you can see how close to the truck it lights up. The power wire just needs to be run to the accessories and grounded. Once done, the fog lamp switch will automatically power the circuit, no programming required. As an added bonus, the fog lamp indicator on the dash will come on too. Let me know if anyone needs more pics or if I can answer any more questions!
