Hello I have a 19 sle also how do you know if you have task lighting and is it the same as the cargo lights in the bed? 

If you have this button, then you have Task Lighting. Task lighting are lights that are located on the outer side of the side view mirror. They are used for "tasks" so when you are in park, and you have that button, you can press the button and it'll turn on those "Task Lights". If you have those, then you have the U12, so you can install fog lights. Let me know if you need more clarification.

Just installed those Ebay Fog Lights, they fit great! Going to be getting it programmed on Monday. Right now, when I push the button, the system is looking at the button as if it's for the headlights. So it turns on and off my headlights. Will keep you posted after programming

It's pretty straight forward. I removed the Wheel Well liners, which gave me easy access to the back of the bumper where the fog light covers are. Removed those, popped the new ones in. I bought some speed nuts, #8 bolts, nuts and washers.That was the only hardware I needed to mount them. There is a clear path to lay the wiring harness down, where you then need to run it through the firewall underneath the driver side dash where the BCM you're gonna plug into will be located.

 

Overall, easy install. I had a buddy who was able to program it to the BCM so I did not have to take it to the Dealer. There is an authorization code that the Fog Light kit on Ebay comes with. So, my buddy was able to email the Dealer, and get the access code or whatever he needed to program the fog lights to the truck.

Go to GMC website and as them for The RPO build list. They will as you for the vin number and they'll give you all the RPO. Tas lighting is RPO U12

Yes, the dealer has to program it. I just had the dealer program my Silverado LT last week for the GM fog lights I partially installed. I did everything except connect the harness to the UEC. It cost me $150 to have the dealer connect the harness and program the BCM, although I have seen a range of prices on here. I am in South Florida.

Hello mbfireboat, which dealer you went. I am in SF also and interested in adding the fog lights.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
