Hey CMatt, really impressed with your knowledge and support for the folks on this forum. I wanted to reach out as I recently purchased my first Chevrolet - I’m typically a Land Cruiser freak. That being said, my Tahoe is an LTZ trim package with what seems like all the bells and whistles. I’m interested in changing the OEM fog lights to a HID/LED type while still maintaining the OEM look. Is this something you think would be possible?Thanks very much for the kind words Mike! I appreciate your input. Thanks to your idea, I’m working on another version (i.e. shorter wire lengths) to accommodate the alternate routing path. I’ll admit, my OCD can sometimes hinder seeing another option.
To expand on a couple things in Mike’s post, I designed the harness to mimic the factory wiring and routing as much as possible. The section that connects between the under hood fuse block and the bumper harness (section that secures to the bumper and connects to the fog lamps) was designed to run across the top of the radiator trim, connect with the bumper harness which travels down between the passenger headlight and grille. It does require the front grille and perhaps even the bumper to be loosened so the vertical portion of the bumper harness can travel up to the top of the grille and connect.
The routing path Mike took is certainly viable and negates loosening the grille/bumper. As mentioned he reversed the bumper harness section and connected to the fuse box harness section. This connection point exists in the event the front bumper needs to be removed.

Side question: do you specialize in other modifications to these vehicles? I’m wanting to get apple CarPlay for my wife’s if it’s achievable while maintaining all the OEM look and feel. Not sure if this is in your wheelhouse, but figured I’d ask.
Thanks in advance!
Austin
