Hello all.  I have a 2018 Silverado, with the Silver Ice Metallic paint, that I am looking for the paint code.  I currently have a front bumper, painted, without fog lights, and want to swap it for the factory bumper with fog light cutouts.

Can anyone help with the paint code, and also part numbers i would need for the lights, brackets, screws, etc to complete this?

I have seen a wiring harness, that I believe can be added, so that the lights simply come on when the lowbeam headlights are on, and I wouldnt need the dash switch.  That is what I would like to do.

All suggestions are greatly appreciated, as always.

Grego.

I'm looking for the about the same info. I have a 2019 Silverado 1500 LD in silver ice metallic with a chrome bumper with no fog lights and I'm wanting color matched with fog lights. 

 

Found the bumper, fog lights, and the harness that makes them come on with the headlights. It's the brackets and miscellaneous stuff is what I'm wanting to make sure I have all of. 

 

I'm not sure this is right, but I found these brackets from searching online and they look to be what attach the fog lights to the bumper.

 

https://www.discountbodyparts.com/catalog/feeds/Chevrolet/Silverado_1500/Replacement/Bumper_Bracket/2017/LTZ/SET-REPC013183.html?dbpcid=gglpla&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pla&utm_campaign=1597045197&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQiAm4TyBRDgARIsAOU75spNvS-Mh3Y_Vi-seWmbO4uiIQ50qYEfHN1f6R1AY5nTo6TTjre_24IaAp59EALw_wcB

 

 

 

Can someone confirm these are the brackets that attach the fog lights to the bumper and if there's other hardware needed? I've read a bunch of similar threads on the site and all I've seen mentioned are Rigid Industries brackets and all I see on their site is for the 14-15 models. I guess what I'm asking is will I be able to use mostly my existing bumper hardware to mount the bumper and just need the brackets (if those are correct) for the fog lights?

 

The picture I posted is the back of a bumper with fog lights and what looks like that bracket in the link that holds the fog lights on.

i looked under my truck at the bumper, and those brackets appear to be there.  looks like just the fog and 4 bolts are needed.  check yours out.  what part numbers did you come up with?

Mine doesn't appear to have them. If I'm looking at it right it's missing that square bracket that the fog light housing goes in with the four bolts. 

 

According to that link in my first post the part numbers should be 84029810 and 84029811. 

 

I found a local shop to do the painting and the harness from Gen5DIY that makes them come on with the headlights.

@silverado2k18 you ever get your swap done? I ordered all (I hope) the parts for mine this week. I'm hoping to have everything and get it all installed in the next couple weeks.

I got a paintable bumper with fog light holes and a local guy is going to paint it. Plus the Gen5DIY fog light harness, the actual OEM fog lights I found on Ebay, plus those brackets that my truck seems to be missing. If they don't come with the screws and bolts and whatnot I guess I'll have to track those down too. 

 

I also got those new Morimoto headlights and tail lights. The guy that's painting the bumper is also going to paint the headlight bezels to match. Also found a grille fairly cheap already in silver ice metallic. So everything will be color matched once it's on. 

 

It should all be here by next week. As soon as they get those pieces painted for me I'll try to put it all on. Hopefully it goes smoothly.

what part numbers did you order?  could you also post a couple of pictures?  still no word from my dealer on pricing......

The part numbers on the brackets? 

84029810

84029811

 

The fogs just a pair of smoked ones for a 16-18 Silverado 1500 off Ebay. Actually not OEM, that was a typo in the other post. From the pictures the plugs look the same as what the OEM ones have that goes into the Gen5DIY harness. Hopefully anyway, if not they can be returned. The bumper just a paintable bumper with fog light holes and no sensor holes.

 

A buddy of mine has a 2018 Silverado Z71 with fog lights and I got underneath it yesterday to compare it to mine. It looks like the only thing missing from mine is those brackets like the part numbers are for. They attach to the center bracket like in that first pic I posted, but also another bracket on the other side that's not in that pic. That's where the other two of the four bolts on the fog light housings go. I didn't take a picture of it because my truck has them already.

 

The main thing I'm worried about is if those brackets come with the hardware. The fog lights that I bought seem to come with the four bolts that go into each bracket, but if the brackets themselves don't have hardware then I'll have to find some. Either the dealership or just find equivalents at Menards or somewhere. I guess whatever happens I'm invested now and I'll figure it out. 

 

You said your truck already had those brackets? What pics are you needing?

 

I'm going to be on the road for work from tomorrow morning till Wednesday evening and some of the parts will start arriving tomorrow and should have most, if not all by the end of the week. I'm not going to put them in until I get the bumper painted, but hopefully once I have everything I ordered I can make sure I have all I need. I'll definitely keep you updated if you want and post pics of the process so you have an idea what's you're getting into.

i just wanted to see some pics of taking the bumper off, and mounting the new one.  just a how to basically.  my dealer still isnt getting back to me, so it looks like i need to find another source for the oem bumper, to get painted.  did you get the harness to have the fogs go off with brights?

No, I got the harness that leaves the fogs on with the brights. I can take some pics as I go. I've never swapped a bumper before, but I'm thinking it's doable at home with basic tools. I'll update as I get all the parts, get the bumper painted, and get it all put on.

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
