Well to bring a final note for my install:

I was never able to remove the terminal pin. I even bought the Delphi pin tools, and was still unsuccessful. In the end I resorted to getting help at the dealer, and of course they did it in a matter of minutes. 

I also called 3 dealers for programming charges. One quoting $150 citing a charge for calling GM to program, the other quoted $120-$250 depending on shop time. Finally a 3rd dealer knew everything I was up against, offered to take care of the pin swap, and knew the process of programming very well. Ultimately, they did my pin swap and the program for $80 which took about 1.5 hrs in total, and my foglight saga was over. I wish this was a simpler process, and Im sure dealers will get more familiar with the ins and outs of programming these newer models and align around pricing eventually since these trucks need programming for just about every add on. Now I need to wait for sundown and make sure the lights are well aimed. Last step and Im done!

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.

that's good feedback and positive information from a dealer, I expect you'll go to from now on.

 

$80 is enough to spend, for all of it - it would come with or at least be discounted with the price of the foglights honestly.

Good lord.  Since when did it require a computer for a switch to activate a pair of lights?  Why can't we just get some third party LED

lights that fit where the factory ones go and just wire them into the headlights?

Yes but it has limited function, either linked to high beam or a seperate switch. And it's $420...

Doesnt have to be linked, and its gonna be 400 anyway. It comes on auto with lights at night, or when you manually turn on lights

Most people on here are paying around $300, and the gen5 site only states 3 options for the lights. the only option that isn't linked to high beam/low beam would be the independent non-gm switch

Best part about this option is I do not have to deal with going to my dealer.

In the end the factory lights cost me around $330 bucks (part and dealer programming) Yes it was a little headache, but Im happy with the result and they are under warranty as a GM accessory. No complaints.

I understand. Mine is a lease, so I can return to stock, and sell parts later (or buy truck). Im just not good with electrical stuff. Just an easier option for me, and they come at night. I dont really need a button.

My truck didn’t come with fog lights. I worked them into my negotiations. They agreed to add them. Problem is they were OOS and with GM on strike it may be a little while before they come in. Been about a week now since my truck purchase. The wait is killing me. Patience was never my strong suit. I thought at the time that I could have just added them myself, after reading this post I’m glad I just negotiated the dealer installing them.

Got mine installed on my 19 Custom today. Cost a total of $188 for installation and programming. A bit high, yes. But saved me a LOT of headache and the programming would've been around $100 by itself. Super happy. They make a big difference in both appearance and functionality.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
