Back in business, the socket was only 5 bucks and change.

4 bolts and bumper is off. Found a connector hanging down under the passenger side headlight. What the heck is that for?

Put a set of GM Fogs on my 08 Silverado and one thing to save big time was to NOT remove the bumper. Remove the headlights instead to gain access behind the end caps. This way less chance of scratching the end caps during reinstall. Also just remember that with the harness; the plugs go to the lights, the pin goes to the power box and the loop goes to ground. The front wiring is that simple. The switch is a direct swap. NOTHING GOES THRU THE FIREWALL, ITS THAT SIMPLE. The end caps themselves are a direct swap as well. This job is NOT hard.

I will dig thru storage this weekend and see if I can't find the install directions that came with my kit. It list where to hook the wire harness up. You should be able to make your own, one wire goes to the fuse box under the hood the other goes to a chassis ground.

 

 

EDIT: Might not have to, second post in this thread has a link to another post with pictures.

I still have the original pics from my install, when I look at them in my original thread they are there. But I guess they are not showing anymore. And I'm not on here as often as I used to be. Soooooooo......if anyone needs the pics for wiring reference before I finally break down and re-do the thread send me your email and I'll just send them to ya.

I have an 09 Sierra and installed the OEM fog light kit yesterday. The lights look great and work as they should, but now my right rear turn signal and right brake light do not work. I posted under ask the tech, but I'm not sure if that was the right place to post. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
