Ok, i have been looking at this for a month or so, are the fog light bright?

I have a 2004 suburban and i can barely tell when they are on or off. In my old truck i can clearly see when they were on. I want to make sure of this before i put some money down. 

How much did it cost to have someone reprogram the BCM? I saw that you said it didnt require the dealership, who did you go to, to have it reprogrammed, or was it plug and play? 

I just got done installing them today. I still have to go get then programmed. Its plug and play in certain areas. Such as wiring a new pin in the BCM harness as well as one in the fuse box. After that, it really is much simpler. If I can get in to get programmed tomorrow, I'll try and get some pics up of the brightness.

I purchased mine from Gmpartsdirect eBay store 249.50 shipped. This is a gm oe part. Bought many times from them with no problems. Attached is the install instructions.    2019 silverado fog

Here's a pic of the two different switches. The left switch is what came with my truck. The right is what came with the kit.

I got mine directly from the dealer but only because I redeemed the myChevrolet points so I ended up not paying anything out of pocket for them.

Getting them to work does require a flash from the dealership. The dealership will have to contact GM directly to obtain the info necessary to reflash. Make note that your fog lights should come with a one time use authorization code that the dealer needs when they contact GM. Getting them programmed should cost not more than an hour labor ~$130ish.

Looks good. I keep pushing the button in hopes that they'll turn on, but I'll just have to wait. After the flash, did the light indicator in the instrument panel turn on when you put then on?

Can you take pictures of it at night from the drivers perspective with them on and off to see the difference? It will be greatly appreciated.

I have horrible night vision, even worse if its raining. I have an RST Z71 and the factory fog lights are great. Totally worth it.

This is what I took tonight. Just bear in mind I'm on a slight downward angle and the might need to be aimed. Also, headlights are turned off.

Sooooo....any tips or tricks to getting the wire through the firewall? All I saw was a nipple in the grommet that's completely closed up.

So I'm stuck here. I'm usually pretty good at mods, but these instructions are kinda confusing to me. Does this look right? Am I supposed to push the wires in from the bottom here?

For those that installed the Factory fog kits yourself. Did your kit come with the u-nuts and fasteners that are mentioned in the instructions for attaching the light to the bumper. I ordered the Sierra fog kit and it didn't come with these items which is very frustrating.

I believe that you reuse the bolts/nuts when you remove the covers.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
