Fog light kit off Ebay

[rjirvine]

Has anyone bought a factory fog light kit for the 99-2002 Silverado off of ebay? How hard is it to install and does it work okay?

I saw it on E-bay too and had the same question.

BTT - Same question for me? I would be afraid to see what the dealer would want for this one....

I installed my GM fog light kit on my 2000 SIlverado last night. Piece of cake. You put in the new switch module that plugs right into the existing cargo lamp connector on the left dash. Then clip nutplates to the bumper and put the fog light in with 2 bolts each. The holes are already there. Then plug in the relay in the electrical center. Then remove the corner brace by the electrical center by removing 4 bolts so you can get the electrical center cover off, lift the electrical center up and remove one of the connectors, plug the harness into the back of the connector and put it all back togehter and run the wire harness to the lights. Now I need to take it to the dealer and get it reprogrammed. I took my time and it took me a little over an hour. I got the kit for $95 off of ebay.

I forgot to add: The relay plugs in so you can read the wording on it if youre standing at the left side of the engine. Also the kit doesn't come with a screw to ground the ground wire, I just mounted it under a convienient existing bracket bolt. I jumpered the relay mount to make sure everything worked, and it does. And as I said earlier, I now just need to get the BCM reprogrammed to accept the fog lights. I'll give a "drivers report" when that's done.

 

I've read on here that some people don't think the factory lights are all that great, but I figured this would be the easiest install.
