I'm new to the forum and have a 2016 LT Suburban. I bought and installed this fog light kit. It fit perfectly and unexpectedly came with a chrome eyebrow replacement that exactly replaced the black factory brow using the same clips. It came with bulbs but I have Opt7 leds waiting to go in once I figure out the wiring. It came with a complete harness with switch. I'm trying to decide if I want a switch or to tap into the lights so they come on automatically. My challenge is that I don't know enough about electronics to figure out how to use a relay and tap into the lights. anyone suggestions would be awesome.
By the way the kit page is misleading. Picture at the top is not what comes the one at the lower left in clear is the correct one. Kit is on sale for $64.

Thank you for posting this, i also ordered this set and just received it today, it does indeed come with chrome eyebrows , now i need to figure out how to get them operational once installed. I personally turn on my fog lights at all times anyways so having them on all the time doesnt bother me.
Hoping to find out more info soon .
Cheers

Get the Fogs / Brackets, then get this Harness: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160904947810?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT and either Tap the Parking Lights for Power, or if you don't wanna Tap the OE Wiring, put them on a Switch, with Power direct to the Battery, Fuse the Switch at 3A, so you can have control over when they are On & Off and you'll be set.

Mad Maxx, can you provide recommendation as to location and attachment (perhaps underside of dash) for an independent switch? I just ordered the kit that you posted.

Has anyone found an oem Kit yet?? I'm hesitant to purchase the foglight kits sold on eBay, Amazon, etc. but they are aftermarket so I don't really know the quality or durability they can offer. The only possible way to go is to purchase everything individually and have the dealer install it, but don't have money to burn like that either so i guess for those that don't have Foglights are screwed like myself. Hopefully GM will come up with one soon.....

Has anyone tapped into the parking lights... If so do they come on if the lights are set to auto?

I ordered the fog lights off ebay and it come with wiring harness / relay . Ordered switch 23187804 off Amazon. I was looking at wiring schematic and thinking I could control fog light relay using the control wire coming from factory switch .

Or you could use a HID relay harness and tap into the parking light wiring to trigger the relay and run the fogs thru the secondary side...

So the models with out fogs.... Are they still wired for fog lights. With my old dodge pickup the wiring from the engine bay to the switch was there.... I just had to buy the lights and harness and a new switch for in the cab and it was simply plug and play.
