I have a 2015 Sierra 1500 WITH the fog light bumper, is the procedure the same as this post, without purchasing the bumper?

You can use the stock fog light switch, just t tap the led lights into stock wires.

I don't currently have fog lights now, do you mean I would power aftermarket LED fogs from the headlights?

No then that wouldn't work. The harness is not there, it would cost to much just to try to do it that you will be better off buying a relay and running your own switch. You can do a small switch and put it in the same panel as the headlight switch

Nitro - thanks for your youtube videos (assuming that was you). I just did the Kawell fog light install myself on a 2015 non-fog light option Silverado. My wife hit a pole a few weeks ago so I took the opportunity to upgrade. Overall pretty easy mod but it did take me 4 hours to get everything swapped and mounted. I purchased the fog light buckets and bezels from ebay for about $120 total. Picked up the Kawell lights for about $70, and found a new bumper with fogs and parking sensor holes on Craigslist for $240. All in I spent about $470 - still cheaper than the insurance deductible.

What LEDs did you use in that? I've been thinking about repurposing my stockers to some kind of flood/LED light but I want it to look stock or very near stock. I dont like the rigid dually look.

Not sure if the OP still cares or not but I’m going to try this mod also. I found a harness from GEN5DIY that lets you add power to the fogs from the headlamps. Only downside is that they stay on as long as the headlights are on but that doesn’t really bother me. I also went the aftermarket route and bought some fog lights on sale for the 4th of July from TheRetrofitSource.com because I don’t like the way the oem fogs look and I also wanted my truck to have updated lights as I have updated the front and tails already. Hopefully it all comes out great.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
