I bought my fogs from a local guy so I am not sure if you had the same issue as I did, but trust me I had some issues. Had to jimmy rig them to get them to work.
My connectors from the ballast (25w thanks to forum) to the the factory connector was just a couple of prongs. I did not want to cut the factory harness.....and did not even think to buy new plug. (little excited to get them in) The prongs I had to shave down a little to get them to fit into the female end of the connector. Once I got them i heat shrinked and taped it to make sure it was secure. I have only used them once or twice, because I dont see the point in blinding everybody inside city limits.

Recommend going with a 25 watt HID kit for sure. Also you are going to want to add these guys to the order as well:
You can also Add the 5202 Plug and play harnesses by themselves if you already have a kit.

HID guy, how much does the connector cost? I would like to use the correct part instead of the "fire hazard" i got going on.
Hyperlink says $20
Yup I second that.
I have 7 total GM trucks currently. 4 2500 HD's, 2 tahoe's and a Denali XL. All have at least 35w fogs,3 have 55 w fogs. Have been that way for close to 2 yrs
Tell me more about melting... Smh

Correct use the link like said above. The cost on the harness is 12.50 a piece. These are sold individually so make sure you add 2 to your order.

You sure that they are actually 35 and 55 watt? Its not hard to tell you that yeah your order a 55 watt set up and give you something lower. Its really hard to tell let alone practically impossible to tell just by looking at a ballast shell.

You can do 35 watt that who t burn when installed properly.
Do it upon your own risk. Numerous links on the internet saying that their housing melted on 35 watt. Just saying..
