Thanks for the great video, going to order the fog lights and harness for my 2019 Silverado. Thanks again.
You're welcome! You'll notice it's really easy to do. Good luck on your install.
Great vid! Like that you got your daughter involved. That builds great stuff for a kid's future!
Thank you for the comment. Yes, she enjoys hanging out and helping me on various projects around the shop and truck.
Got the harness and followed your video and it worked great, thanks so much for this video 😀
That's awesome! I'm glad you found my video helpful.

I just saw your video on wiring 2019-2021 Chevrolet Silverado fog lights.
In the video you discard the factory wiring harness and single jumper wire.
Would you by chance still have those ?
If so would you sell them to me ?
Thank you,Troy Newberry
Thanks for this much needed video.
You're welcome and thanks for your comment!
Good video and information. I will definitely be using the info for my install.
Right on! Thanks for the comment. Good luck on your install.
When the Audio is sped up, the Mexican dialog is really funny, almost sounds like "Gobble, Gobble, Gobble". You did a nice job on the video, I'm just bustin balls. You have a beautiful family.
It's all good. 🤣 That was my mom who came to visit and she was asking me about the lights. I responded with something like these are so they look "chingon" bad @ss. And then the video is speed up which does actually sound pretty funny lol
Thanks for the comment!
Gracias por el video Amigo.
yo ordené las partes para mi Chevy 2019 y lo instalé me quedo de Lujo.
Se ve más perona la troca
muy bien explicado
Espero que agá mas videos de otras modificaciones saludos desde los hampton NY.
Muchas gracias! Que bien que el video te ayudó con tus luces. Si claro, voy a hacer más videos
Thanks, definitely helped with the install. Now I can’t wait for it to get dark.
Haha, right on! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the comment.
Great information in your video. I didn't realize harnesses like that were available sure beats pulling the dash apart and having to get BCM programed. Letting your kid participate is a cool thing to do got to teach them some skills.
Yes, I try to do upgrades like these myself and avoid the dealership (time/cost) especially for relatively easy projects. Yes, it's fun having the little ones around, plus they get to learn something.
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the vid made it easy and simple 👍
Thank you for the feedback.
great vid dude thank you
Thank you!
Super great job 👏
Thank you! Your comment is much appreciated.
Dang looks good iv been looking at these videos because im going to do it to my truck and found yours i have the same color truck also...looks good brotha
Right on!
Thanks bro!
Good luck on your install. It's pretty easy to do.
Hey brotha how much did you pay for the fog lights at the dealer and also did you just order the fogs lights and the knob and harness come in the box
@@carreonsgv The harness was purchased separately. When I ordered the foglights, they also came with the switch and a different harness. I did not use the switch or harness that came with foglights. I used the harness that I ordered from Gen5DIY.
Both links in are in the description.
Good video carnal💯👍🏽
Thanks for the comment Carnal!
Thanks for the video Bro.
👍
Thanks for your comment!
Great video. Took less than an hour. Pretty easy.
Right?! Pretty easy 👍
Thanks for the comment.
Dammm looks sick bro
Thanks !!!
Nice install.
Thank you
Great video Frank! I already added fogs to my 19 custom trail boss. What kind of muffler or exhaust set up you running? Its sounds awesome.
I appreciate the video going to install mine today the only problem I think I might have is that where you plug-in the lights to the headlight plug I did a illuminated bowtie that I plug into that one already so I’m going to try to figure that out
Right on! Maybe you can re-run the illuminated bowtie tie wires to the driver side headlight ?
Also, where did you buy the illuminated bowtie from?
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty I purchased it from the dealer I seen other ones on eBay but they looked cheap I order mine directly from the dealer very happy with it
@@anthonysandhu4899 👍I might upgrade the bowtie at some point.
YEA!!!🥳❗
😅 Thank you Don Earl!
Good vid. Do you feel the new fog lights offer a bit more light spill off to the sides of the road when you are turning? One thing I dont like about my Trail Boss w/no fog lights is when you take a corner, the regular headlights dont offer much light into the direction you are steering. Wondering if the fog lights help that issue.
Yes, the OEM foglights I put in does increase the visibility off to the sides especially on dark roads.
Nice job bro..
Thank you for the comment
👍 I like the video awesome
Thank you for your comment! 😁
Frank's CaliWood Specialty np 👍
Looks good bro
Quick question what Exhaust did you put in? It sounds good just got the same truck and am looking to get something for it to sound better
Thanks!
@@adrianrodriguez2385 I put in a 14" Magna Flow exhaust.
I like your method as opposed to the other video. Your way is so much faster!!! From your video, you recommend ordering from GM as opposed to Amazon or eBay???
First off, thank you for your comment! The use of the plug and play harness kit makes this install so easy because you don't need to cut, solder, or splice any wires. To answer your question, Yes. I used OEM foglights only because the harness kit instructions stated that it only works with original OEM lights. I did not check amazon or eBay, but if they sell them, then you should be okay. I included links in the video description for both, the harness and the foglights. Thanks again - Frank
Thank you for the video, great work! Hey do you have any trouble when using your bright lights? Does it mess with the fog lights?
Thanks your kind comment!
I don't have any problem using any lights. The headlights work perfectly fine. I rarely use the high beams, but the foglights work fine when I flash the high beams.
Awesome! Thanks man best of luck to you and your family 👊🏽
@@Robindontdoit Right on! Same to you
Cheers
Bien explicado, 👏 una pregunta cual es el harness que puedo ordenar por una silverado 1500 2017 y donde lo puedo ordenar ???
Gracias! Deje los enlaces (links) en la descripción del video para las luces y para el harness. Yo no sé si también tengan un harness para la 2017.
Sabes si el el mismo que usa ??
Super clean man!! If someone were to bring the kit to you would you be willing to install it for a fee?
Thank you!
It's relatively easy to install using the kit (harness and foglights) I used. I would feel guilty taking a fee given how easy it is. I wouldn't turn down a case of beer if it was offered though haha 🍺
Nice informative video. Do you still like your lights?. Thinking of going with the Gen5DIY after market kit.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I still like the foglights. They give the front-end a nice aggressive look when they are on.
Ok gracias entonces comprando los productos que aparecen en los links que pusiste ..esos son los correctos ?
Los cables si, pero habla a la compania para que te asegures que los focos trabajen para tu camioneta
Amigo una pregunta, donde instalaste el exhaust, suena muy chingon, yo vivo en tu area del condado norte SD.
Espero tu respuesta, Gracias!!
Gracias Viejon! Mira yo fui a Mike's Muffler en la ciudad de El Monte CA. Le instalaron un Magna Flow de 14 pulgadas
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty muchas gracias por la información.👍🏻
Amigo una pregunta ..le sirven a una 2021 chevy silverado 2500HD ..espero su pronta respuesta ..gracias👍
La instalación es de 2 partes. Los cables , y las luces.
Los cables si le sirven para una 2500. Los focos tienen que ser partes hechas por GM, osea originales para que trabajen bien los cables.
Los links están en la descripción del video.
Did you get the bowtie wrapped? Truck looks really nice. Working on getting my boy done up.
Hi, thanks! Yes, I actually wrapped the bowtie myself. I first wrapped it in black. But it didn't stand out as much, so I re-wrapped it in white and it looks much better.
Please make one video how to wire light shelves 😃
Hey Frank, nice truck!!!, I'm on the look for one and thank you for the information in this video.
Q: Did you ended up using the existing switch? Basically on/off from the same headlights knob?
Thank you.👍
Hey Luis thanks for the comment! Regarding the switch/knob, I did not mess with that. Everything remained the same in the interior. The harness kit I used allows you to "t-off" the headlight connector for an easy plug and play. The fog lights turn on whenever the headlights are on.
Alternatively, there are some harnesses kits that allow you to turn them on/off but you must also purchase a switch/knob. You then need to have the dealer program the foglight feature. This sounded like too much of a hassle for me, that is why I used the harness kit that you see in the video.
Hope this helps!
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty Thank you so much, I'm doing this install for a friend and definitely will go the easy road!! the same way you did. I don't even like to think that I would have to go to the dealership :)...
Hey, thanks a lot, by the way, I love carpentry, did it myself in the Orange County area for 17 years!!! I wish you all the success man.👍
@@LuisArriaza Right on! I left links to the harness kit I used and the oem foglights. No promo code or anything (not sponsored), but these are good products!
Once again, thanks for your kind words! Good luck on your install.
That’s a bad ass grill where did you order you inserts for your grill
Thanks! I receive a lot of compliments when I'm out and about. I got it at the dealership when I bought the truck.
Did you sell the factory wireharnesd
Looks great! What did you use for a switch?
Thank you! No switch. It's hardwired with the headlights. So, they turn on anytime the headlights are running. Also, i were to turn manually turn the headlights, the foglights would also turn on. There is an option to run a dedicated oem switch but you need to take it in to the dealer to get it programed.
Did any have like a malfunction in this way when starting the car the first two times and also the coming on right after two auto stops?
Hi - Thanks for the question. No, I have not had any malfunction since I installed them. As I explained in the video, the foglight only turn on when the headlights are turned on too. When you remote start your truck with your remote control in the evenings/nights, the running and fog lights will turn on, but this is normal. As soon as you get into your truck and hit the start button the headlights will also turn on as well.
Nice job damn do you still have those left over pieces from the GM kit? lol you know it would have made sense for GM to already have the wires already in the loom for the fog lamps the they could just charge you for programming and switch and the lamps, but nope got to be gready bad GM bad "smacks hand" thanks for showing the other options.
I agree with you.
Yeah, I still have them in my garage somewhere lol
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty cool want.to sell the extra parts?
@@majordisappointment8692 email me caliwoodfrank@gmail.com
Frank I'm a little confused on the 250500 you say you installed. Here is what it says:250500-This harness will simply allow the fog lights to come on at night and remain on when the high beams are on. The fog lights will not be on during the day unless you manually turn on your headlight switch. So do they stay on when the regular lights are on by auto such as night?
Thanks for the question. Yes, the foglights will automatically turn on anytime the headlights turn on. So they'll come on when the headlights turn on at night or if you manually turn them on with the switch.
Could you please send the info on where you purchased the fog light kit or the part number . Thank you for your help
Thanks for the question. Please see the video description. I added the link to the foglights and another link to the harness.
can you turn them off with the switch if you wont want them on when you are running headlights?
Hi - thanks for your question. No, mine stay on whenever the headlights are on. If you want to turn them off using the switch, you'll need to take your truck to the dealer so they can code the ECU.
did u install a switch? or are they on whenever headlights are on?
Nope, the harness plugs in directly to the headlights. Anytime the headlights come on, the foglights do to. Also, anytime I manually turn on the parking lights, the foglights turn on too. I like that option too.
What did you order when you ordered your fog lights from gm? I want to make sure to order the same exact thing so I can get the oem button and harness. Also how much were the fog lights? Thanks for the awesome video brother!
Hi - I ordered oem foglights and an aftermarket harness that only works with oem foglights. Both links to these products are in the description.
If you want to add the oem buttong & manually turn them on.. you will have to take it to the dealer to program.. gen5 is your best option.. they turn on @ night with the headlights…
@@jryanez8523 Yup, that's also true. I wanted to avoid going to the dealer for that. Mine stay on when the headlights are on 👍
400 bucks for part an dealer install rather get it done right then rigged myself
I am confused, if the harness basically turns on these fog lights on whenever the headlights are on, how come when you remote started the truck at 12:50, the fog lights kicked on with only the daytime running lights were on?
Hey Samuel - Thanks for the question. I should have edited that or at least provided an explanation for that. You are right, these came on when I used my remote start. However, under normal operation (not using remote start), the foglights will ONLY come on when the headlights are on and turn off when the headlights are off.
Whats the long term status of the wiring? Any issues like burnt wire or battery ware..just curios.
For sure, yeah thanks for the question. No issues whatsoever. Lights working perfectly to this day! Wires are clean and no electrical issues.
I need for a Chevrolet Silverado LT 2018 witch one are you recommended me ???? Please
Hi - Check out the links in the video description. You can check to see if they have the lights and harness kit for your Silverado.
Is this for the tasklighting switch type?
You can check the switch type for your truck from the website.
Is there a way to turn off the fog lights when u don’t need them , or do they stay on all the time like the head lights???
Thanks for the question. Yes, they do sell harnesses that allow the fog lights to be turned off, but you do need to go the dealership to get them programmed.
Did you have to use the wiring harness mine already had foglights so i used the exsisting wires to plug in directly to the new foglights. My problem is the drl cant figure out how to wire them in to which fuse relay, says to use accesorry but dont see one on the schematics.
You said you already had foglights? If so, why did you replace them? Anyway, if simply plugged in the new foglights, they should work with the switch inside your truck. On/Off etc.
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty i wanted the drl fog light the old didnt have, i plugged in the new ones but still unsure how to wire the drl portion
@@thorpower1015 I see. Maybe you can look up the wiring specs online?
Brother una pregunta las luces siempre estarán prendías i se pueden apagar
Que tal camarada - si las luces que instalé se mantienen encendidas mientras los faros principales estén prendidos.
Does this kit work for a 07 sierra? The harness not the lights
No, not according to the site.
Nice video, I bought aftermarket fog lights, they look like OEM, will this still work?
Thanks for the question. If you intend on using the same harness that I used (link in description), then No. The harness only works for OEM foglights.
You could try returning the foglights or try finding a harness that works for them.
The website says it will work for aftermarket lights to, not sure if that's changed since this video.
Ok so, they turn on with your low beams? Or do you have the highs on? Looks like they came in with running lights too? Lol I'm confused. I want them on at night and off when I turn the brights on. Is that the harness you have?
I should have clarified in the video. I used my remote start there. However, these foglights stay on all the time when the headlights (low beam) are on. They turn off when you use high beams or the headlights are off. The foglights don't come on with daytime running running lights.
Thanks for the question. Hope this helps.
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty thank you sir! I ordered the one you have. Appreciate the response!
@@chriszuniga6369 awesome! Good luck on the install 👍
Did your check engine come on because of it ? Mine did is it normal ?
Nope, the check engine did not come on in my truck. i don't think that's normal
Buenas tardes Frank, podrías hacer el video en español ??? para toda la raza que no hablamos muy bien inglés te lo agradecería mucho viejo soy de mty mx
Si me agrada la idea. Pienso que si se puede hacer.
Saludos a toda la gente de Monterrey!
Will this work on the 2021 custom?
The harness should work. It's description says 2019-2021 Silverado. The foglights work on 2020 Silverados. Check out the links in the video description. You can also call them.
Do the fog lights automatically turn off when you switch to High Beam as you intended???
nevermind, looked @ video again
@@tersco595 Right no, mine stay on. There is another harness option that make them turn off when the high beams are turned on.
hello, does the positive ring has to go there or it could go somewhere else?
Good question, if you have a distributor block, maybe you can attach it to that.
Thank you
Would this work with Aftermarket LED headlights?
The harness works with OEM foglights only. The connectors with the headlights should be same so, I'm going to guess yes. However, you should contact the harness sellers to be sure.
Wait a min…soo you mean to tell that I don’t need the switch?? I can just use the headlight? As if the headlight go on the fog do too?…or am I missing something?
That's exactly 💯% correct. You use your existing oem headlight switch. You're simply tapping into the headlight wiring using the plug n play harness. Whenever your headlights turn on, your foglights will turn on too. Thanks for the question.
Avientatelo en español tambien amigo😎
Si Señor !
Ya dijiste!
Will it work with a 2022 silverado
Hi - thanks for the question. Yeah, it should. Check out the link in the video description. They have 2 or 3 harness options.
What exhaust you running
I put in a Magnaflow 14" muffler. Sounds amazing on a cold start, then you get a little rumble afterwards but nothing crazy loud.
Were you able to install without trashing the wheel well cover?
Yes, I was able to run the harness down with a single scratch to the wheel well cover. I just fished it through all the way down.
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty thanks..I didn't mean "trashing" damn autocorrect. I meant removing the wheel well or the under carriage covers to install the fog lights.
@@surfermaverick haha, yeah no worries. No, I didn't need to remove them.
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty thanks man..I'm going to give it a try.
@@surfermaverick for sure! Give it a try and let me know if it works out or if you have any questions. 👍
Hey bro what’s your exhaust set up?
I'm running a 14" MagnaFlow exhaust. I like the aggressive little rumble, but it's too crazy loud.
Two months later how’s it holding up?
Thanks for asking. The fog lights work as intended. They look amazing when they're on, and no issues with the harness or connectors.
I already bought the fog lights but the wiring where can I buy it?
Hi - I included a link to the wiring harness I used in the description.
Noticed they came on with daytime running lamps, thought they only turn on with headlights?
Thanks for your comment. No, the foglights only turn on when the headlights are on. What you saw at the end was when I used my Remote Start.
will this work on a 2021 Silverado 1500?
My truck is a 2020, but the product description for the harness says it fits 2019-2021, BUT you do have to use OEM fog lights not aftermarket fog lights. See link in the description.
So i don’t have to buy OEM Chevy fog lights. They can be aftermarket brand?
@@michaelanchando7358 I included two links in the description. One is for the harness and one for the foglights. The harness only works with oem foglights. Yes, you need OEM foglights if you want to use the harness from the description.
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty did they hook you up with a promotion code for the OEM FOG lights?
@@michaelanchando7358 No, this was not a sponsored video. So I didn't get any promo code or anything.
If I drive down there will you do the install for me lol
Absolutely! Lol
Frank we have to link up my man and get my fog lights installed Please!
Do you live in San Diego North county ?
Asking because the license plate frame is the city where I live at.
Yeah for sure! I actually live in LA but I got my truck in Escondido. I do go to San Diego often. Let me know once you have the lights and harness
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty right on frank! I sure will 👍🏼 Thanks
Did your fog lights still running good my just stop working smh
Hi - Yeah! Still running perfectly.
Did you use OEM foglights?
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty yes
@@romela.valdez8126 🤔 try unplugging and plugging the connectors. Or maybe you got a bad set of lights.
How do I contact the person who made this video and ask him if I can purchase the wiring harness and single jumper wire?
I'll look for it and let you know by tomorrow.
I got it. Send me an email me at caliwoodfrank@gmail.com

Hey amigo donde pusiste tu flowmaster porque el mío no se oye nada así
No te creo, como que no se va escuchar un flowmaster? Yo le puse un MagnaFlow donde estaba el mofle

Hey Frank, I have a set of brand new take offs from my 2022 trail boss if you know anyone interested $125 shipped and I can provide photos. Then they would just need the harness
👍
Factory me please!!!!
Didn’t show the control switch
Thanks for the comment. There was no need to. As I mentioned in the video, the foglights stay on anytime the headlights are on. I didn't touch or wire anything to the control switch in the cab.
@@FranksCaliWoodSpecialty l just read your other reviews on this ….thanks
You lost most of your credibility by wearing gloves and lost the rest of it by not knowing that the OE switch came in that kit. Typical of someone accusing the big bad dealer of trying to make money by selling you the switch and programming and then you find said switch in the box. SMH.
😆 Thanks for the comment,l; I got a good chuckle out of it. I'm not sure why anyone would be triggered by someone wearing gloves, but okay. As for the OEM switch, whether it was included or not was irrelevant to me. The fog lights were hard wired. So no need for it, plus I already have a switch. By the way, YES, the dealer will charge you an arm and leg to program a new switch. I know bc I called to ask them.
This is directly from the website where I bought the fog lights from:
"Please note that dealership programming of the vehicle is required after installation so the Body Control Module (BCM) recognizes the switch and light for illumination."
