Fog lights, possible HID upgrade

[pl4yboy]

Does anyone know what bulbs the fogs use? What needs to be done to get the DDM kit to work on the fogs?

Also, what does it take to get the fog lights to come on automatically with the lows on a NNBS. I'd like to be able to turn them off with the switch, but have them on automatically. Kind of like the opposite of what they are now, where you have to push the button to turn them on.

I think mine took the 881 bulbs for the fogs but they are possibly different for the nnbs. I would check out the sylvania page, most ebay listings have a direct link to the application chart. If they dont make a kit you could always retrofit a different kit (that would be fun).
As for the operation, wire them to power on with a relay off of the headlights and wire in a second relay in line with the power from the first relay to the lights to be opened by a toggle switch.

first relay: 20amp power to pin 30, gnd or pwr to 85(depending on whether you use - or + turn on from headlight) and opposite on 86. power to second relay on 87(normally open)
second relay: power from 87(normally open) from first relay on pin 30 and jumped to 85.
toggle switch with one side connected to gnd, other side to 86. power to fogs on 87a(normally closed)

that should work well assuming your truck isn't factory fog light equipped. if it is, I'm sure you could use the factory switch to operate the second relay.

Yeah, my truck is a z71, fogs equipped. I was thinking about doing exactly what you're talking about on the relays and switch.

Slyvania said mine takes 5202 bulbs I believe, but I'm sure that somehow those bulbs can be cross referenced to a different bulb. I'll have to figure that one out still.

I thought that I read somewhere that they were cross refrenced to either H16 or H7?

Who can come up with a way to have the fogs come on when the truck is started and stay on when the lows come on? And then even to stay on with the highs also???
99 Sierra that didn't come with fogs so there's no switch.

For 03+ all you need is to jump between three pins and it lets lows on with highs, and fogs on with highs.

I know how.

DDM doesnt offer 5202 in HID, it must cross reference somewhere.

It's a 99 dorkus.

Do tell...or you could pm me.

Did you not read my post...I've seen them cross ref'd as H16 and H7. Google it. What I read was on the G8 forums...they were apparently having problems with finding 5202's also and found an alternative or a place hat sold the 5202's.

I was just saying that in case it was the same.

I was answering in response to STUNNA. I've just been AFK and haven't gotten to research the cross reference yet.
