Uncertain if this helps or not, but Chevy offers a fog light kit for the 2019+ trucks. Includes fog lights, switch and harness.

I got this done to my truck, I didn’t install it myself I took it to the Chevy dealership. It takes a long time for them to get the activation code from GM. The instal cost around 400 without tax.

Not a problem, I should have included a link to the accessories website https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/2019/Chevrolet/Silverado 1500/front-foglamp-kit-84125494?categoryId=12001

This must be special order or dealer request, because my Custom came with the center console (bench seat) that opened and had storage in it.

I just ordered the fog light kit, for $221.25 total (cheapest) at shopchevyparts.com. https://www.shopchevyparts.com/electronics/2020-silverado-1500-led-front-fog-light-package-models-without-task-lighting-set-lights/84125494-p-92305775.html  Same kit as from Chevy direct.

 

They have another version "with task lighting" as well.

 

Now to find a dealer to do it for me since if it's only $135 install (listed above) that's worth it for me to not hassle with the lengthy instructions.

The 2020 Silverado 1500 WT doesn't have a program for fog lights. GM must have it somewhere. It is a "stand alone" option, yet no one ever ordered one. My WT is waiting for someone that knows how to wire it properly, and so dealer can program them.

Do you have a button on the dash for fog lights? If not, you'll need that. The other option is to do the GM Upfitter auxiliary switches and wire the dog lights into that.

I purchased the fog light kit on Amazon for like $120 and  the red wire to fuse engine fuse in engine bay and the white wire I connected to fog light switch on dash after purchasing the upgrade factory headlight switch and install the white wire tapped into the wire that controls the switch from dash just like factory.  Turns on and off from factory switch and light in dash turns on as well with no programming needed.     Switch is $32 on eBay.   Installed myself.  So no need to send 300 on a kit and have programmed. All done for less than $200. Just like factory.

Interesting to say the least. Has  anyone else tried this?

So basically, you ordered a somewhat universal GM style fog light kit and a GM style switch with the fog light switch. Then wired the red wire to the battery and then tapped the white wire into the GM style switch? And now the fog light switch is an On/off switch? What wire did you tap into on the switch and can you independently control the fog lights weather the low beams or high beams are on? This is probably the best way to go and not have to get the BCM reprogrammed. Links to the parts would be awesome Thanks😎

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
