How to change the fog lamps on a 2003 Chevy Tahoe 

Woo hoo! Awesome!

Glad I was able to help. Pretty easy job.

That’s great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

@@JosephChavez you bet

Thanks Travis!

Wow!

I would suggest all look really close at how the unit is to be attached. The plastic goes on top and then utilize the screws. Time was about 5 minutes once I pulled my head out and looked at the other side.

Lisa Carden excellent!

It's not a hard job, but yeah, if you don't have a jack and have to lay on the ground, better to wait for some warmer weather!

Did the 2006 require the 10 mm as well?

+Scott Boddy Thanks for the feedback, Scott!

Allen R Thanks man! I miss doing videos with Jack too. Oh well. I had fun while it lasted!

Great! Glad you liked it.

Thanks! I've done a couple DYI. I'd like to do more since I've watched so many on RU-vid and they've saved me hundreds of dollars.

Joseph Chavez Oh yea, great educational vids here!

Probably the glue wears off or gets weak with the heat. I don’t recall of my originals did that but the new ones I put in on this video are still working after all this time.

@@JosephChavez yeah I don’t even know when mine came off lol I just noticed one day that one was gone, then I looked at the other one and it was missing too! Lol

Great tips! Thank you!

Yeah ramps would have been great. I didn’t have any and I was too lazy to go and borrow my dad’s. LOL. I didn’t do any adjustments. Just mounted them as they came.

luis martinez yeah I hear you. The ones I put on in this video are still working, though.

There’s one I’m looking at on Amazon that looks cool but I’m not too sure if they are any good or not. They have what looks like a projector in the center and then two little led lights on either side. The issue is it is made to fit these chevys and gmcs but it one has an adjuster for up and down, not side to side... not sure if that even matters though. And the reviews are spotty so it’s hard to tell if these are good or worthless.

Hey how are those fog lights holding up I've read reviews and a lot of them complain about moisture getting in one lamp or the other and also being real flimsy

+Evil Dude Wow. 182k. Ours has around 130k. Honestly, our Tahoe has given us years of faithful service, but it's showing it's age. Right now the biggest things we have to fix are: 1) it's using coolant. Not sure if the water pump is leaking or if it's something more serious. But I have to put a gallon of coolant in every several months. I don't smell coolant necessarily when it's hot. I hear this is a sign that the pump is leaking and dripping on a hot engine and that's why you don't see it on the ground but you'd smell it. 2) it has started to make a clicking noise underneath when it's in drive and you accelerate. I don't hear it when I'm just cruising, only at acceleration. Not sure what that is but my mechanic says it could be the drive shaft or some other bearing related to the drive train. That's next on the agenda. What I have done recently besides the fog lamps are: replacing the oil pressure sending switch (had the mechanic do it as it's a nightmare to reach behind the block) and fuel pressure sending switch (super easy and quick job). We did replace the plugs at 100k. About 10 years ago we had an rear axel seal that had to be replaced. Other than that, nothing super major. Like most cars, it's all in the maintenance of it. Oh: a lot of the dashboard lighting is out (radio buttons, etc.). Sometimes our rear speakers (we got the Bose option at time of purchase) buzz and make a screeching sound that rises with the engine RPMs. Not all the time. Not sure what's causing it. I also need to switch out the daytime driving lamp sockets. One of them is completely fried: known issue as the bulbs they recommend get too hot.

+Joseph Chavez Thank so much for your reply. The truck in question looks really nice. The salesman mentioned it had only one owner which apparently did a lot of after marker changes to the radio and even installed a "double vision" dvd player for the rear passengers. Sadly the salesman cannot provide proof or record indicating as to whether the truck and the transmission were serviced. I'm thinking about test driving it and have mu mechanic do a complete check up.

Are there LED replacements for the daytime driving lamp? Yea I know could google it, but maybe by now you have found some.

sgj4aj not sure. Been meaning to replace the sockets and blubs in mine because one of them is burned out. They sell them on Amazon for a reasonable price.

+Joseph Chavez i have a chevy tahoe with 222,000 miles in it and no problem but the fog lights they always get messed up lol

Dude, he'd be better off just getting a set of sturdy liftramps which he rolls his front tires on top of. I can't imagine it being fun to climb a lifted truck everytime you gotta check the oil or work on the engine.

Did you ever find out the length and thread of the screws needed? It's been my delay for months. Haha

@Arthur, visit a junkyard and take the bolts of a junk truck. They're probably in the $5 neighborhood.

Just take the truck to a fastenal they will let you try a few different bolts until you figure out which one works

V6 Mustang Powwa ah. Yeah Z71 might have that styling difference.

He didn't really show taking them off or putting the new one's on either. Not sure the point of the video.

E-Man Eddy it’s been a long time. I don’t remember why I left that out. However, my lamps are still working with no problems. Great product, FYI.

Farzan Dean I’ll take that. LOL

hector muniz crap. It’s been so long since I did the video I can’t believe I left that out. At the time I filmed it with my phone and didn’t have a stand so I guess that’s why. It wasn’t that tough but yeah, left out the most important step. Sorry man.

Joseph Chavez no problem changed out my fog lights on my GMC Yukon XL really easy .. by the way know anything about brake and abs like keep coming on ..

hector muniz sorry bro. Not sure about brakes or ABS. At this point, I take it to my mechanic.

So far so good. Thing is it was so long that they were broken I forget to turn them on now! But they still work.
