How to Add and Install Fog Lights on 07-13 Silverado 1500 or 07-14 Silverdo 2500
This video explains how to add and install fog lights on an 07-13 Silverado 1500 or an 07-14 Silverado 2500. We'll be focusing on running/setting up the electrical system and installing the interior switch.
NOT SHOWN: Installing the fog lights is super simple. The wire connectors only go in one way, and the lights themselves just pop in and out.

I have a 2008 2500HD Regency. I have watched hundreds of different content creators in an attempt to upgrade or fix carious parts of my vehicle. You are, without a doubt, the best instructor. You are very concise; you use many descriptions relating to position and orientation; and you go into great detail without skipping any steps. An idiot could follow your instructions and accomplish great things. Liked and subscribed!

Just finished this install on my 2010 silverado WT and my grey block was stuck underneath the fuse panel. I pryed one side out gently and it came out easy. Pushed my power lead in and you can see from the top of the grey block if its seated properly. I used a multi meter to test if the fog light harness had power and everything is fine. Definitely could not have done this without coming across this video. I salute you for posting it!!!
Thank you very much you made this very understandable! The way it should be you didn't spend a lot of time talking about your truck. Thank you again looking forward to more videos. I've done a complete frame restoration on my 2011 Chevy Silverado started with a fuel pump replaced fuel pump cross members front and rear tire cross member rewrapped all my wires new cab mounts shocks and struts taking my time after work and on weekends this was one of my added touches I wanted to do. Bought this kit on Amazon thanks again.

Really appreciate you taking the time to give positive feedback. I love these trucks, brother - and glad to hear you’re resurrecting your 2011. 💀👊🏼
I just did this, along with installing new bumper & valance, & added fog lights to truck with none. - Loved the video. Very helpful. Much thanks. A couple things to add: When I tightened down one of the grounds the wiring on the neck under wrench turned & tore ~in half (is aftermarket, may be more fragile), so I backed out & put a big washer on top of the 3 grounds on that side (& did same on other side). Washer holds all in place nicely (video has washer there or bolt/washer combo). Be careful with fragile harness wiring. - 2nd: (this is mentioned in vid) After I took top off fuse box & finagled the big gray handles to remove the top black part, I had to use a LOT of force to remove mine, more than I thought, straight up. - 3rd: (not in vid) The small gray block underneath toward front that you put the wire into has (4) tiny gray over black tabs that have to be pushed back before the gray block will lift. I used (2) tiny screw drivers to remove one end then the other. It was a little challenge. - 4th: (reiterating what others have said) I had a hell of a time pushing in the side orange bar for the wire I'd put in the gray block. I didn't have any fat wires (yellow & black in vid), but found the slot by locating the smaller blue-green & green wires at one end. Thanks to the vid it's easy getting our wire into correct slot & feeling it hit bottom, but I couldn't push closed the orange side bar until I used a tiny screwdriver to carefully force our red wire down further & pushing it down much harder than comfortable. But that worked. Electrical wires: One minute you tear them just lightly putting on a bolt to secure them, next minute you're shoving them into a little slot.

When finished, I found the fog light on the side with the torn ground wire to be dimmer than the other. Word on the street is it's most likely to be that damaged grounding wire.

Did you have to replace the entire bumper? I heard and read one might only need the end caps replaced. Thanks for the additional info on wiring.
My wire colors were a bit different from yours but the new wire plugged into the same location as yours and it works great. Thanks for such a good detailed video.

How do you install the fog light housing ?
I ssume the process is the same for gmc Sierra ,correct?
Edit: see bottom but if having issues this might help: Ok did exactly as you have. Checked grounds. No power to lights? I have 15amp fuse for fogs in fuse box. Should I just tap off the fuse in the block?! UPDATE: Ok for those with same issue I didn’t push the power tap far enough into the grey block. You really got to push that in there. Now it works as it should!

I've tried multiple switches and mine won't work (bought this exact kit). If I jump the fuse the lights come on (no indicator). It seems as though I'm missing a solid orange wire from the switch harness (junkyard info) but I'm not sure where to connect it to on the other end. Any help appreciated. The video is great, it just seems as though i have the only gm on the planet with the fuse and relay but they aren't wired to the switch

Did you check to see if your relay is bad? If it’s good, I’d look at a wiring diagram for your year to make sure you’ve got the correct harness.

My dome lights seem to stay on once I installed the new switch

Most likely your dome light switch is on. It’s the small knob in the center of the switch. Press it and it pops out. Turn it counter clockwise to turn off the dome light.
There are 2 different wiring diagrams. 1 for gas and 1 for diesel
I did everything you did and I know it’s correct but my lights don’t work and everything is brand new. Any possible reasons? Checked the fuse and relay and everything is good. The light also pops up on the dash like it is turned on.

Check for proper seating on the fuse bank, then look at the connection prongs that connect the upper fuse box to the lower bank.

They go behind the bumper corner bracket. You’ll have to remove the three bolts that hold it in. The fog light buckets have three mounting points. You’ll need to install the buckets at a 45 degree side angle. Angle the single mounting hole first, then the side with two holes will drop into place.

I know some guys will not remove the lower panel to save time, but this is the recommended way for removal. There is a flange on the bezel that can break or scratch your lower panel if it’s not removed. It also gives you room so that you can pull straight back on the bezel. Some guys will break their retaining tabs/clips, because they pull the bezel at an angle - because the lower panel is in the way. Just don’t want anyone mad at me because they f***ed something up.
