I just finished doing these with my truck. Instead of using the fog lights, I hooked it up to a second battery solenoid. With this switch I can see when the second battery is charging when the dash light is on. Watching your vid really helped me out. Thanks!
@ 6:53 the blue 15A fuse is the fog lamp that gets power from the switch you installed. Just get a "Fuse Tap" and plug in that fuse location. It already has the hot wire for the fog lamps so you don't have to remove and run the wire from underneath and risk causing other possible problems.
Pretty much searched all day and found this video finally. Im awaiting the OEM switch, but otherwise all my goodies are here, and I am going to pre-wire and install. Feel much better thanks to this video! Cheers!
You did a very patient and well thought out presentation. You're a very bright and polite young man. You should be proud. Thank you for being a good person.
thanks for posting this. I got screwed though because i cant just get bumper caps. i have to get the whole chrome piece because its one piece on my 2500
I need some help, you guys know where I can get the fog light wiring harness? I don't know anything about wiring so I'm not really too sure which harness works for this
Did you already have a factory fog lamp switch? I installed a new switch with an after market harness the green dash light comes on but not the fog lights.Any ideas what is going on?? thanks
I'm trying to figure out where to put the light. Not sure if I am able to use a bar light as fog and have it running while driving. I got the recovery hooks so it is a little fuller down there. Not sure yet if I will go with a bar in that slot or 2 small one below. Dont want to buy new end caps.
You do not have to modify anything on the harness of the switch, just remove the one that does not have the auxiliary light button and connect the one that does have the button.
It really is ready to go. I put the new switch in way before installing the lights and they would show working on the dash. Dealer upgrade was probably a gravy job
question you might not know but cant really find any info online but would this be the same for a 2000 silverado just swap the switch it also has the relay and fuse but not the switch would like to wire up as a light bar but want it to look as factory as possible without drilling a hole in the dash
Does anybody know if I can just plug wire fit into the fuse and push the fuse back into the box and it would work the same or do I have to take the fuse box apart but I use a bypass use and pushed into the fuse place
Hey man I have a question my fuse box is coming out in once piece. Instead of top coming off like yours. Can you show me where that one wire connects too. It’s it the top right corner of the fog lamp relay or does it connect to the fog lamp fuse??
Had a question when you swapped the interior switch to the new one I noticed the plug in had wires cut, is there rewiring that needs to be done when swapping the switch?
If you remove the factory plastic cover on the main wiring harness you’ll notice that there is already a wire for the fog lights. It’s bunches up an tied off a couple inches down. I’m not sure if there is a post to add to the switch though(pretty sure there is) all factory harnesses have the factory options, they just tuck them away per options. I noticed this while wiring my HID’s at the driver side headlight harness. It’s a blue wire with a white stripe. Hope this helps

I installed my fog light harness and followed what you did to land that wire. Worked great! Factory fog lights installed and working well.

Thanks man. Really needed this!!!
Good tutorial....swapping the entire front bumper with the fog light end caps. Thanks for the information. Make this a How to sticky on TH-cam.
Exactly what I needed thank you
Thank You Avery !
very helpfull and it gave me a better idea of how install fog lights
thanks for posting this. I got screwed though because i cant just get bumper caps. i have to get the whole chrome piece because its one piece on my 2500
Great video....i don't have that small group of wires under my junction box I have just one where you have 3
Awesome video thanks for taking the time to make this video...
You know extra harnesses that come with new Chevy fuel pumps work good for using wires . You might have to file it a bit but it will work.
Awesome
Nice job on this video!
I need some help, you guys know where I can get the fog light wiring harness? I don't know anything about wiring so I'm not really too sure which harness works for this
Any problem with fuse or relay and it’s safe.
Is there a parts list for this somewhere?
I did install everything how you said and they look awesome on my 08 silverado but I don't know why but my truck won't start 🤔
Great info. Thanks
Did you already have a factory fog lamp switch? I installed a new switch with an after market harness the green dash light comes on but not the fog lights.Any ideas what is going on?? thanks
thanks man

Where did you get the switch at? I'm looking to do the same to my truck?
You do not have to modify anything on the harness of the switch, just remove the one that does not have the auxiliary light button and connect the one that does have the button.
The cable of the fuse box is the one that sends the current for the headlights
It’s really that simple? Damn that would be great.
It really is ready to go. I put the new switch in way before installing the lights and they would show working on the dash. Dealer upgrade was probably a gravy job
question you might not know but cant really find any info online but would this be the same for a 2000 silverado just swap the switch it also has the relay and fuse but not the switch would like to wire up as a light bar but want it to look as factory as possible without drilling a hole in the dash

Awesome video but now I can't get them to turn off can you help me out ?
Hey sir great video and very clean install. Do you have a link to the light bar that you used there?
Can you show how your electric radiator fans are wired up.
Gmpartsdirect.com
link to find the oem cap kit?
does this work on a silverado LS model?
Yes for 2007-2013 models
Hey man I have a question my fuse box is coming out in once piece. Instead of top coming off like yours. Can you show me where that one wire connects too. It’s it the top right corner of the fog lamp relay or does it connect to the fog lamp fuse??
Same any help ?
Same here
Anybody find a solution?
Just gotta wiggle it out apparently some come out whole and some split
Work on 2012 Tahoe LS? Has no factory fogs
Yes it should
So when doing this the fog lights will turn off with the high beam? My lows stay on with the high
Correct unless the mod has been done to keep the fogs on with highbeam
Boost auto supply has a small part that you can install under the dash for $20 so that the fog lights stay on with the high beam
Had a question when you swapped the interior switch to the new one I noticed the plug in had wires cut, is there rewiring that needs to be done when swapping the switch?
@1:18
Nope no rewiring. The person i bought the switch from just cut the wires instead of unplugging it for some reason
Ahhh makes me feel way better
Another thing, do you think instead of using the harness to the fuse box, could I just use a fuse tap and just run my wires down ?
If you are tapping into power for the fog lights as shown, yes that should work
If you remove the factory plastic cover on the main wiring harness you’ll notice that there is already a wire for the fog lights. It’s bunches up an tied off a couple inches down. I’m not sure if there is a post to add to the switch though(pretty sure there is) all factory harnesses have the factory options, they just tuck them away per options. I noticed this while wiring my HID’s at the driver side headlight harness. It’s a blue wire with a white stripe. Hope this helps
Sean Laskey you are correct, only for certain trim levels though. In my case i had to add the wire myself
I had to add the wire too, 09 LT 1500
You didn’t have to program the bcm or anything?
I did no programming, they come from the factory ready to be upgraded

Does this apply to 2014 Silverado?
Unfortunately it does not sorry
Avery Bryant, do you know why it will not work?
Lewin Taquiso its is a different generation of the silverado and the equipment used is different
I read the paper instructions but this video made me 💯 confident I could do it. Thanks and check out my channel if you have a chance
