#6 of 65 fog lights by boat10 Jan 03, 2003 (8:07 am)
just ordered set of OEM fog lights for my 02 Silverado from my dealer. They are in the GM Accesories catalog. Includes all needed hardware, wiring, switch, FULL instructions on how to install. $93.00, tax included. I thought the price was reasonable
#7 of 65 Fog Lights for Dodge QC by ahasher Jan 09, 2003 (4:44 am)
davewarwick1 , I too found the OEM PLASTIC lights useless on my 2000 QC, with a low wattage bulb. No replacements available. I upgraded to PILOT PL-119C I got from a local trucking shop, but Auto Zone Web Page says they carry it. I paid $82 for the kit. Exact match size wise for the airdam, 4 inch round glass with 55W halogen bulb which can be upgraded. Good wiring harness but not the factory switch, so i just spliced into the original light harness to use the existing dash switch. The mount brackets it had however was not what I expected, so I modified the OEM bracket to hold the new housing. It worked great, and the lights are BRIGHT!!!!! Oh yeah, They also have AMBER glass for FOG light use. I took some pix of the mod and put them on my homepage: http://home.bellsouth.net/p/PWP-ahasher
#8 of 65 Fog Lights For Dakota CC by pwrplay27 Jan 09, 2003 (11:21 am)
My dakota came without the fog light option and I installed some myself. Any 4" round light will work. Pilot makes a specific kit that comes with the brackets and everything for about $80. I used APC 4" driving lights because I found them cheap for $30.00. You will need to drill a hole in the bumber bracket right about the rear of the lights. My lights came with a U bracket and I re-bent it into an L so I could bolt it into the hole that I drilled and have it meet the back of the bracket for the lights. As far as wiring the lights, I used a relay and tapped off of the parking lights for my on/off switch on the relay. I then wired 12volts to the relay and for the ground I ran a wire into the cab with a switch. The fog lights will turn off when I turn off my lights and vice versa. I also have the ability to turn them on and off from the cab when I want to.

Thanks for the responses on fog lights. Looks like there are good lights out there and I will give them a try.
#10 of 65 new fog light by boat10 Jan 23, 2003 (12:51 pm)
received my order I placed with my Rado dealer (GM ACCESSORY) and installed myself. A little work, but looks just like a factory done job. Only thing I don't like about them is you cannot turn them on without the headlights turned on. Anybody out there know how to get around this? The accessory package had everything you need to put them on the vehicle, wiring harness, switch, mounting brackets attached to the lights (just like what comes on a factory order). I had my dealer reprogram BCM to make them work. NO CHARGE since I done all the work myself!!!!! Well satisfied ........
#11 of 65 how come? by steve_ HOST Aug 26, 2003 (8:21 am)
Can someone explain why you can't run your fog lights without the headlights being on at the same time?   Steve, Host Replies to this message: silverbullet04 (Mar 08, 2006 2:25 pm)
#12 of 65 How come? by bowtieman1 Aug 26, 2003 (12:49 pm)
Dont have a clue my 00 was the same way, I asked myself the same question. My new 03 can turn them on W/O the lights on. One of the many improvements GM made to the 03's
#13 of 65 How Come by ronslakie Aug 27, 2003 (6:22 am)
I have a 00 DAK CC and I can put my fogs on with the headlights on but not with the high beams on. I thought this was the norm; suuposedly the high beams and fogs on together actually cause a loss of visisbility.
#14 of 65 On the contrary - by zueslewis Aug 27, 2003 (8:47 am)
when in fog, if you hit your high beams, they'll just bounce back at you and you won't see a thing. They don't get under the fog and let you see the road like low beams and fog lights do.   On a clear night, you could use both for max visibility, but I'd NEVER use high beams in fog -   Jim From Coastal Texas with 98% humidity year-round - we know fog!
#15 of 65 Wiring foglights through the firewall by steveg44 Sep 14, 2003 (7:46 am)
Is there a preferred place or easy way to get the wiring through the firewall? I have an '03 Toyota Highlander non-Ltd.
