GMC: MORIMOTO XB LED FOGS


GMC-AT

Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

They really are quite decent, not as good as the rigid imo thou.

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.
