I just installed mine this morning. I didn't do any research before heading out, it took me 15 minutes to do both.

 

I've got a front lift so I slid under the front bumper with a trusty flashlight, scoped out how the fog light housings were held in, unplugged them, pinched the round retainers and popped them out the front bumper.

 

No need to remove the wheel well liners. No tools needed.

 

After you remove the oem fog light housing, pull the round black retainer clips off and unscrew the only screw on there, then pull the white clip that screw was in. Those 4 pieces are what you need to put on the new housings.

 

This process was easier than what I figured changing the oem bulbs would be, so if you can change a bulb, you can install these plug and play.

 

I did test them before popping them in permentanly, I did have to turn the plug around to make them work.

Had some time this morning so I gave it a shot. I must say it was pretty difficult to get my huge hands in there and pop out the fogs. Pinching the round retainers and pushing out is more difficult than it sounds, lol. I didn't put the new fogs in but it looks like it will take me a lot longer than 15 mins

Anyone want to buy a set of these fog lights? These costs $200 + new. I will sell mine for $165.00 ( shipping included - US ONLY, PAYPAL ONLY) They have been in my truck for only a week... only used them one night for like 30 min. They are perfect new.

 

I think I want to go back to stock fog lights just because it matches a little better for my lights. Send me a PM if you are interested.

If you push the retainer on one side with your index finger while pushing the back of it with your thumb you can do it with one hand. Just push it far enough to clear the lock for each one otherwise the other retainers will be torqued and harder to push out.

Finally got around to installing these. Was a breeze just like the others said. Got the stock fogs out much easier using a small screwdriver as opposed to my fingers. I'd say the biggest improvement with these is the light output on the sides of the road. They also match up nicely with my hid's. Below are some pics.

I see this thread is all about the GMC xb led install. Has anyone removed a silverado fog light from its housing? I don't believe it is as easy as piping the GMC fog light out through the front of the bumper. Tried searching some threads but didn't see anything about removing silverado fog lights.

Me too :) I got the HID Kit and the XB Fogs! Need to change my order though from the 4500 to the 5500 HID so they match the fogs.

Do you also have the Rigid SAE lights? Why do you say they are not as good?

I had the rigids on my 2k14 and now the XB's on the 2k15. They just don't shine quite as far

@Angel27, how'd you get only the parking lights to shine? My truck, even when in park still shows the LED strips when the parking lights are turned on.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
