Has anyone used a dealership to install the fog light kit for custom/ trail boss? If so how much did the dealer charge, and is there a light displaying when they are on?

Yes the light in instrument cluster does come on showing that they are on, don't know what dealer would charge as I did everything myself, just had to have dealer program them and they did it for free.

My local dealer said about $125 to install a factory light set I bought via ebay.  I did the install and got the programming done for a six pack after hours.  Didn't want the plain white so I put on the amber skin prior installing.  And the dash lite does come on..

Different dealers will charge a different price, the closest dealer to me wanted $130 and one another 15 minutes away charged $95. I'm not the most technically inclined so considering it took the mechanics over six hours to change my oil, rotate tires, do the brake and seat belt recalls and install the fog lights it was well worth it to me. If you purchase through the Chevrolet accessories website and choose dealer install you can check different dealers' rates in your area.

10-4, thank you. Any chance you could shoot me a picture of the interior display showing the lights are on so I can get the dealership to install it right ?

After seeing this I went outside to check and realized mine doesn't have this icon... Is it worth taking back to the dealer if they work fine?

Looking in the owners manual on page 127 it shows the1500 series base cluster, the icon  for fog lamps is shown on the left side just below and right of the 1 on the tachometer. You should be able to see if its there if you get sunlight or some other source of light on it at certain angles. This may or may not pertain to your application as I have not been in a custom. Just something you might check out.

Took a flashlight and found the icon exactly where you said it would be, beside the 1 on the tach. Now that I know it's there it's driving me crazy that it doesn't illuminate. I guess I'm gonna have to call the dealer and plan on dropping it off for another 6 hours sometime soon...

Don't know if it pertains to your situation but some installations require a jumper wire from the BCM to the fuse block under the hood. My kit came with the wire but was not needed. Not sure what this wire is for. You might ask dealer about it.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
