I found the kit (with air dam, lights, relay, switch) at my local dealer for $225 when I was asking about buying the fog lights... I thought is was a steal!
It all worked when I hooked it up, I didn't have to have the BCM reprogrammed.

The install went very smooth and easy. I was very impressed that the kit came with everything.....bolts, nuts, switch, harness, clips, everything. I would suggest getting a kit if you like the factory lamps. The price tag is very reasonable considering everything.

I'm probably better off going to a local dealership where i can check out the kit before buying it. IMOP grey does not match anything on the front of the truck so i'd rather have black.

I installed my 06 kit tonight at it looks great. The valence is the same color black as the upper bumper pad. The fogs add almost double the amout of light output, plus it looks really good at night. I picked up the kit for just a hair under 190 at a local dealer.
I'll try and get some pictures in the day/night soon. btw, it took an hr or less to install the whole kit with help from my roommate.

Well I had purchased the light kit off of Ebay 2+ years ago and have since installed it. Well, I finally got around to taking it in to chevy and having them reporgram the BCM to make them work. They work O.K. they are not very bright at all. And I only paid the dealer 47 bucks to do it??
Now my question is this. Anyone know of a way to have the fog lights come on by themselves without having to turn the headlights on??? I tried the trick that works in my wifes '07 Tacoma where you "jump" a power wire to the foglamp relay to make them come on whenever the truck is running and the switch is turned on. But that doesn't work, I have tried all four prongs on the relay to an ignition only fuse, and nothing??
Anyone??
