Wondering if there's a way to get the fog lights to come on when the lights come on in the truck (2017 silverado). Find it annoying that you have to press the button to turn them on every time.

 

Tried searching but didn't seem to find anything.

Why would you want them to come on every time? Fog lights are intended for a specific use and, under normal circumstances, are seldom needed.

If you want to see any real visibility improvement, turn off your headlights and use only the fogs. They will project useful light without the blinding effect of the low or high beams. I've found that

10/18 diode jump gets them on with high beams.

 

10/22 gets them on with parking lights

I did mine so they come on when low beams are on or DRL. It's here somewhere as a thread. I'll look for it.

Bubble bursting!!! These don't give out a lot of light and I think they are purely aesthetics so why not have them on all the time while driving if it makes you feel safer and seen. The owners manual refers to them as driving lights on a few occasions so when I drive I want the driving lights on.

exactly my thoughts! we had a ton of fog the other day and they literally did nothing to help my visibility.

 

so far every vehicle I've owned has been the same. The fog lights are pretty much aesthetics

As a side. I'm going to install the morimoto led fogs. I think they'll actually so something in the fog or heavy snow.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
