Subscribing to make sure I see the pics - your truck and my soon-to-be-built truck could be twins.

Was an awesome day in Chicago to install stuff that is for sure. Can't wait to see your mods/pics.

Just an update.
I've come to the conclusion that the LED fog light bulbs I ordered are pretty much useless.
Other than the fact that the color matches the LED headlights, the front forwarding LED's throw light out all over the place, whereas the factory Sylvania halogens have the painted tip to prevent glare. When I first turned the LED fogs on, there was very little light in front of the truck where you really need it. Rather the LED's were throwing light on the top of the garage door, my gutters, etc.
The biggest reason I am going back to the OEM halogen or maybe
Silverstars is that I noticed last night that with the fogs on, the forward camera on the 360 camera shows annoying flickering on whatever the fog lights are shining on. I've seen other LED's doing this when displayed on a screen, but I figured it was the nature of the LED's. When I tried turning the fogs off, the flickering stopped and I realized it was the fogs causing the issue and not the factory LED headlights.
Bottom line......save your money.
Pictures still coming. The truck is now silver from road salt instead of black, with more sleet and snow on it's way

You may need the error eliminator. Also the kit above is their cheap kit, if you want the better ones get these. I have the cheaper kit above (for both Low and Fogs) and are awesome, only complaint is they do not fire every time, however I do not have the error kit (no sense in getting now as I will have new truck soon).
I will be getting these for both my Headlights and Fogs.
