Accessing the H16's behind the bumper?

[Doug64]

Hey guys, Does anyone have pics or vids on how to get to these fog light bulbs on a 14+ SilveradoHD? When I tried, I couldn't even get my hand up there far enough. It's not nearly as easy as my 07 was.

I just spent the last few weeks in and out of those bulbs. Trying to find something brighter and such. Best way I found, I removed the front most six torx screws. There were three along the edge of the fender, a pair down low, and one in the middle top. Turn your wheels the direction of the side your working on and start removing screws. Pretty easy to get at afterwards. I finally decided on some 80 watt LED bulbs.

Are you talking about the fabric looking stuff on the inner fender well?

[Chebbyfan]

Yep, that's it. Just remove those screws and just pull the tab loose from the outside edge, then you can get to the bulbs pretty easy. In case anybody is curious, I got my LED bulbs from Gen5diy and they work pretty good there.

What he said. The service manual calls for partial removal of the wheel liners to access the fog lamp bulbs.

Thanks guys, I'll be putting hids in there soon.

2016 is not out at all yet, 2015 is due in mid April. $495. You are pretty much buying GM Service Information's section on Silverado/Sierra. There is a LOT of info lol.

On removing the h16 bulbs ,,, do you twist the whole housing or just twist the bulb housing ? Or unclip the wire ,,Maybe a degree for me but I just don't want to rip it in half twisting the wrong part . Thanks. I figured it out , the wire harness comes off behind bulb housing than housing snaps out with the bulb attached,unfortunately sylvania nor Phillips make a led or brighter bulb than stock for now.

. Is that a company or person on the forums where you got the LEDs from ? Thx

RCMike, contact 2SSRS on this forum. He is a vendor for Gen5diy here and can hook you up.
