I mean if it was just piece to piece replacement at steering end or you had modified the harness as well? I haven't started this mod since got stuck at this particular thing for while during getting schematic layout finalization.☹️ Link to post Share on other sites

The stalk replacement is just a matter of switching one out with another. 14 minutes ago, ChevyBeat said: Anyone tried fog lights installation via wheel well, I mean by removing plasric lining from wheel area to acceas fog lamp assembly?

ChevyBeat 28 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks Adam for your valuable inputs. On the harness part from stalk end, I understood that the existing harness have the required wires, just stalk need replacement, am I correct on that? Link to post Share on other sites

ChevyBeat 28 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Hi Adam, Finally I got the things in line. Got GM parts and installed those till relay. Good part, no requirement of BCM modification. Just after installing relay and fuse system recognises fog ON. Ordered Hella 60mm halogen projector fog lamp low beam but received high beam. Little confused if to keep them or ask for replacement. My doubt, if I install high beam fog lamp, will they blind oncoming traffic, though these are mounted low?

Adjust them lower if it is aimed too high. Those are made to be mounted higher as a motorcycle headlamp and not fog lamp so they may be low enough to not bother oncoming traffic.

Hi Mr. Tozzi, I already requested replacement with Amazon and received one piece but stuck with other one so have to wait till then. What I seen difference in high and low beam module that apart from having metal filter plate in low beam module, its reflector is oval shaped unlike round in high beam. I thought its better to replace with low beam as after installing and then removing be a cumbersome job. Lets hope low beam will work as expected. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Just a doubt, have you opened the relay box to plug the positive wire for supply? I mean, after I installed the fuse and relay the system identified but when I checked I found that the supply is fed through fuse to the relay contact so using simple wire tap is not going to work. Seems I need to open relay box and insert the wire to correct slot like Greg have mentioned. One more thing what size wire you have used. As mine lamp uses 60w HB3 bulb so as per wire size calculator it came as 2.5 mm2 but on safer side I bought 4 mm2. Just need to check if this can't create problem at connector end.

ChevyBeat 28 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Its really getting bad. I made everything ready, lamp mount, wire harness and boom!!! They have pre-installed wiring for fog lamp. Now, I can't use my harness with the connector in relay box since the existing wire is not coming out from its place. And can't use existing harness since wires are thinner than the headlights one (assuming 35w load they have mentioned in owner manual). Two options, tap the existing wire and use a 40amp relay for driving 60w x 2 load with new harness I made. OR Throw everything I bought and use GM fog lamp. Can anyone suggest????? Also, what type bulb they use with GM fog lamp? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.tozzi 66 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I would use the original wiring to trigger a relay if you are using lamps that draw almost 4 times as much as the original equipment. ChevyBeat 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ChevyBeat 28 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Thanks Mr.Tozzi. I am thinking of same and will see if existing relay box have enough space to hide the big 40amp relay. Meanwhile, planning to install cheap 12$ lamp. After searching net, seen some adaptor which can convert one bulb mount in other. I will see if I can get adaptor which can allow to is H11 bulb (factory setup, 35w) in HB3 lamp. Update - Installed cheap lamps for interim solution. Results are good, will check how effective they are in next road trip. I will try to make a adaptor for fixing H8/H27 bulb in my projector. Till then, expecting the current lamps will hold good.
