I can speak to some of the items here. I build a number of different harnesses for this platform.
It’s my understanding the LED DRL behavior is controlled by the BCM. Chris (White Auto and Media) can do the BCM programming, but you have to send in your BCM. Meaning you won’t be able to drive the vehicle.
I make a custom harness with OEM connectors that deals with the PWM signal and will allow you to swap in the Denali/LTZ HID headlamp assemblies. I haven’t looked into the DRL behavior, but am happy to. I have a Yukon, so I’ll need a volunteer Tahoe.
Here’s the left headlamp connector. The circuits are the same across the platform for the most part. The differences are where they land in the X50A UEC (underhood electrical center).
I’ll look at the DRL schematics for trucks with and without RPO T4F (HID headlamps) and see what the differences are. Perhaps (if the pins are active) it could be as simple as moving where circuits land in the X50A UEC. What I don’t know is if the BCM controls the voltage to the DRLs affecting their brightness.
For the fog lamps, a latching relay will allow you to use the factory headlamp/fog light switch to activate them via a relay harness. You just won’t have the indicator light illuminate on the cluster. I’ve been looking into creating a harness for this as well.
