Just upgraded my 2018 Tahoe and it was the solid brown but like you said once I went off the location, I was good to go. Apparently the brown with white is the horn and makes the horn honk when you turn the brights on lol , but easy fix after I went off location. Thanks, works great!
For everyone complaining about this mod not working or the horn going off, etc - you need to pay closer attention to the video. Do not simply go off of the wire colors, you absolutely have to find the correct pin locations. GM uses several different vendors for their electrical plugs. The body control module and associated connectors could have been made by JST, or TE/Tyco. Doesn't matter what year, make, model, etc your truck is, you could have two identical 2018 Silverados sitting next to each other, same trim package, features, everything...and the wiring harnesses could look completely different depending on which manufacturer's parts were used on the assembly line that day. You need to go by the PIN LOCATIONS, not the color of the wires.
I can confirm this just did this on my 2015 chevy Silverado 1500 the wire he mentioned which is brown and white I didn’t have I had it all brown but I went with pin locations and everything worked out!
This is awesome! I have done a similar mod in the past but it required a relay install, reaching into some tight spaces and cutting your hands to shreds while on my back on the ground. This is crazy easy. I just ordered one! Thank you!
The wire positions were correct but the brown with white stripe was solid brown on my 2015 Silverado (brown w/white stripe was in a different position). Fog light indicator on instrument panel is not lit with high beams but fog lights are on. Nice job on the video!
Hey Mitch, Thanks for the feedback. We always recommend going off of the pin locations as primary reference as GM does change the wire colors from time to time. It is normal that the fog light indicator does not light on the dash. Thanks! -The Boost Auto Team
@@boostautoparts And you was right, Just got New LED Headlights and Fog lights. And it’s Poppin! Luckily on my 2014 Silverado wire color were the same! The Shipping was quick and I’m very satisfied! Will buy again for my next Truck!
As mentioned down below my 2018 Silverado 2500 the 1st wire was brown with no stripe. Following pin position worked even though with colors were different than the video
Followed installation perfectly and all works but when I turn on my high beams my horn goes off and it dosent stop sounding until i turn the brights off.
If you have a 2014-2018 vehicle and your horn is sounding whenever your high beams are activated you are connected to the wrong pin location for pin 10. Some trucks are known to have a solid brown wire instead of a brown wire with white stripe, so confirm your connection is on pin 10.

I should have read this comment lol. Pretty comical result. In my 2017 silverado there is a brown with white "3 pins from the right" vs "3 pins right" very easy to mix up
Just installed it, on a 4x4 Z71 Silverado I had to use the solid brown wire( not the one with white stripe) otherwise a service 4x4 system error appeared, also my horn would activate with high beams lol.

LoL That is the next thing I want to do. I have the exact same truck (and grill). I'd like to know how you found to best mount it.
Great video, I should have watched the whole thing the first time! If you connect the circuit the wrong way it turns the highs on with the fogs all the time, ask me how I know.....
@@ajsullivan2559 I am not sure of the color, but it was the one right above the correct one. It's been a while since I did it, and that's been many beers ago, so my recollection is a little fuzzy.

I just got my order thanks. One question my truck has auto highs. When fogs are on it doesn’t do auto. Will this make fog lights stay on and all auto functions work??
As long as you don't manually activate the fog lights, your auto-high beams will still work. Further, when your auto high beams activate they will also activate the fog lights with this mod.
@@boostautoparts ok but they won’t be on with the low beams? Cause dogs only come on when the buttons pushed w low beams was just wondering if the auto would work cause it doesn’t when the fog button is pushed. But I think I got what ur saying.
I have a question I have auto high beams on my truck. To have the auto high beam work I have to shut off my driving lights will this kit still work with my truck?
Yes - your auto high beams will still work and the fog lights will come on with them. You just cannot manually command the fog lights on (no need, this does it automatically)
So after this the low beams and high beams and fog lights will be on at the same time. 2nd question could you just link the 2 wires together with some spare wire?
Yes they will all be on at the same time. You can't just use a piece of wire - if you did that anytime your fog lights came on your high beams would come on, which is not what you would want when you're using your fog lights in a foggy situation.
@@boostautoparts I see. I believe I am confusing the two kits you sell which each connect pin 10 to 2 different wires. The other kit is for aut- fog lights. I assume that keeps the fogs on with the marker lights regardless, correct, but also allows the fog lights to be on with the high beam lights as well?
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists Please reach out to our team at sales@boostautoparts.com with this question and your VIN so they can let you know how it will exactly work on your specific vehicle.
This integrates OK with the feature you're referencing (GM calls it Intellibeam). The only way Intellibeam is deactivated is if you MANUALLY activate the fog lights. If you simple let the Intellibeam auto-activate it with our kit it will work just fine.
The jumper is working correctly like it should but the fog light indicator light on my temp gauge goes out when the high beams are turned on. The fog lights are still on, but the indicator light goes out. Is this ok? I have a 2017 Silverado LTZ.
Hello, Yes, it is normal for the dash indicator to go out. The fog lights should stay on as you mentioned, but the dash indicator will go off. Let us know if you have any further questions.
That certainly isn't typical and is likely just due to unplugging the BCM while the battery is hooked up. Give our support team a call at 765-831-2830 for assistance.
I know this is for all 6 but is there a way to use this kit so it would only activate all 4, I.E. low and high lights only? I have a light bar that is wired to my fog light switch and don't want it and the fog lights coming on when I activate high beam switch.
