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

Can confirm this is not the case for Sierras at least. Got under there and the covers just snap in. No nuts or bolts where the instructions say to add them.

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.

Hey. This may be a stupid question. But did you have to do step 10?   

 

Im looking on the brown connector and I see a brown and white wire but I swear I don’t think it’s in cavity 10.    I can tell there is a wire in cavity 10 but I don’t think it’s the brown/ white wire 

 

 

Step 10.  ocate the BCM under the lower instrument panel on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Locate BCM connector (X5 Brown) cavity 10, circuit 1317 (BN/WH). It is giveaway on certain trim levels. If circuit is present in cavity 10, disregard steps 11 through 14, and 23 along with the single wire jumper that will not be ne

I'll caveat by saying I have not completed the dealer flash to ensure my installation was correct. However, my assessment was that there was a wire in every slot in that row and for that reason I didn't need to run the wire from the BCM across the front then through the dash to the engine compartment. That's probably the most difficult part of the whole installation. I'm not going to subject myself to added work if a wire is there. As you probably saw, the wiring in the BCM is so tight that it's tough to distinguish the slots and wire colors. Getting a single wire in there seems like a real chore. 

 

My challenge with the installation was the fact that the hardware to mount the lights to the bumper were not in the kit. For Sierra at least, the covers were just snap-in so there wasn't existing hardware there either. I had to procure my own.

Dude. That sucks.   I called my dealer. They said 75 dollars for the flash. Which isn’t really bad.  Guess I’ll proceed with the next steps. Hopefully it’s right when I take it to them lol

You had me second guessing. I confirmed my wire in slot 10 was brown/white. You should be good to go.

some say I have to do that step. Others say no.  

 

I don’t know lol.  Guess I’ll just take it to the dealer and let them charge me to death lol

Mine had the wire in place at the bcm so I didn’t have to run the wire

For those that have done this DIY - couple questions re: Step 25. 

 

1) How did you remove the existing wire from the connector? I see the that there’s clips from looking at the jumper harness but don’t have anything skinny and small enough to reach them from the top. 

 

2) How did you route the wire from the jumper harness up through the bottom of the UEC so that everything can be put back together and closed properly?

Can anyone advise on adding the Delphi connector to the UEC (step 25). I tried everything to remove the existing wire and replace with the one from the harness. Paper clips, staples, screwdrivers etc. Everyone seemed to have no trouble installing. Any advice?

For item 1. I’m at a loss that no one else has described this step as it’s the most cumbersome. I gave up and I’m going to the dealer. For step 2. I cut back the plastic from the single lead to the UEC leaving about 8” or so of the wire exposed. I then mashed the top of the skinny plastic cover of the single wire into the larger plastic of the main bunch going into the UEC about 8” below the UEC module. I then taped around the plastic At the point I merged the 2 together. This left a single wire lead up to the UEC module. I managed to take a photo surprisingly as it was really tight to work. 
I welcome any input on the Delphi connection. 
Also, the dealer pricing for programming is all over the place. So far I’ve read of $75 and $135 for full install and programming. My dealer quoted me $150 just for programming and explained that GM charges them just for the call to get the download. They quoted me $250 for install which is how I ended up installing myself. It seems dealers are not clear on installing these. My dealer explained they had not done an install yet with the 2019s so I imagine they are just throwing out numbers without experience.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
