Refresh Fog Light swap?

Rob Mugs · November 18, 2023

Anyone making something as a replacement for the JUNK that is on the new models? My 2020 fog lights actually lit up the ground and my 23 does nearly nothing. I'd be better off with a 3 D cell Mag Light taped under the truck.

The lights are actually VERY bright.....it's the stupid strips of plastic across them that screws that up.

Check with Diode Dynamics, I have their top of the line clear fog lamps on my 2021 Silverado. These are the best fog lights that I have ever seen and don't blind other drivers. They work great for driving on dark city streets. The only negative is that they are very expansive.

There's a guy on the Tube that removed it and didn't notice any difference. Can't seem to find the video now but it's something to do with the lens.

Don't see anything for the 23

Aftermarket plug-n-play for T1 GM trucks in general is pretty weak overall. I did all my lighting (except Diode Dynamic fog light kit) as DIY.

Refreshed is even less as far as I am aware.

Yeah, it seems that in many ways, my refresh is a downgrade. My interior door handles no longer have lights, fogs are junk, shifter configuration is janky (who thought pushing forward would be reverse instead of park?), backup camera intermittently doesn't work, truck turns on parking brake when on the slightest incline......

Might end up going back to a 2020. The only nicer thing on this is the larger screen

I have a "foggy" backup camera on my 23 T.B. but not the cool large screen.

This literally gives me an error message now and then with a black screen. "foggy" would be OK

I'm with you on the shift pattern. Push forward to go backward and pull back to go forward????? Guess I'll get used to it someday but I don't understand the logic.

It doesn't bother me that much. I mean most all center console shifters going back years, forced you to move the shifter forward from drive to do reverse, so it follows the logic. It's more that Park was moved to the vicinity of the neutral position.
