- Hummer Chronicles ep. 3 (Troubleshooting my Fog Lights)
In this video I present to you new content, I’m giving you all full upgrade view of my personal vehicle. These videos will be like my own version of your average television shows, they’ll be uploaded in episodes showing and teaching you ways to enhance the look of your vehicle.
My new content is called “My Hummer Chronicles” and this is episode 3 (Troubleshooting my Fog Lights). I figured since I’m always showing me painting and customizing vehicles why not invite you inside my ideas for my vehicle.
This will pretty much show another side to my channel and give you ideas that’ll make your vehicle stand out from that old stock look. Out with the old, in with the new.
I wanna give a special thanks to those who’ve subscribed and shown support, I also would like to thank RUclips for allowing me to share my dream.

I initially purchased the 200 volt diode and solder kit from Amazon.com
The 12 gage wire, LED fog lights and relay fuse can be purchased from any local automotive shop
So I watched this video, and I ran out and got a DIODE… AND THIS WORKED!! I can’t believe it… I was skeptical but now I’m a believer! Thank you.
You’re welcome and I’m glad to be of help, thanks for watching the video.
This is awesome man! Thank you!!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching the video.
OK, I figured this out. My front parking lights were changed to LED and that made the draw too much for the marker lights. I changed it out and these marker lights work great! Just a heads up for anyone whom might be experiencing the same issue. I saw these were tied into the same wiring connection and same fuse box location. SMH. I should have seen this a long time ago..
Hey at least you got a chance to know more about your vehicle right, thanks for the info and I’m glad you got it figured out.
Good lookin on the info you shared definitely a great help💪💯🤙
You’re welcome and thanks for checking out the video.
I have the same problem.. what amp diode did you use. I see different sizes and want to get it done this weekend...
200v 1amp diod
Hi my friend I'm pretty sure some of your relays are backwards. You might want to check that. On you fuse box cover it will show you what numbers go where. I had the same issue with the drl not coming on so I did this mode thanks to you and realized the issue there. Cheers hope this helps someone.
Hey how’s it going, thanks for the feedback and yes the relays are in the proper settings. Currently my lights are still working but I’ll definitely pass your information on to the next person who may have questions.
i remember these DRLs from factory only activate when car is in Drive. and its day outside
Mine weren’t operating at all, not sure what the issue was behind it
worked good lookin out...
You’re welcome and thanks for watching the video.
Thanks. Why the diode if you replaced relays? The old fog lights were not working so it’s seems not to be the led conversion. Just wondering before I give it a shot.
You’re welcome
Neither the relays nor LED lights would activate the fog lights, the diode was the only option that fixed the issue.
k so you managed to fix your fog light problem but at the same time discovered a hack to let the DRLs sync with the headlights so they can run simultaneously together..... Nice.
So is this safe?
Thanks and yes, mine still run til this day with no issues.
@@newtouchauto Quite hesitant. For a second it almost looked like you blew your headlights out when you turned the lights on at 7:32 lol
What happens during the day? Does it work like it should without the mod? Being that the DRL should be the only lights on during the day... or does it always require your headlights to be turned on to activate the DRL from now?
@@JoHn-if6wy lol no I didn’t blow any lights, the video was in fast forward mode during that clip. I actually can active the settings how I want them to be wether it’s fogs only or both on at the same time. During the day I mostly cut them off at the controls to save the life of the lights.
@@newtouchauto Im about to try it once i receive the diode by the mail. What is the reason behind removing the x2 10 fuses?
Looking forward to seeing how its going to work since i live in Canada. As under page 3-16 under the manual at "Automatic Headlamp System" it says "Turning off the automatic headlamp system with the headlamp switch is not available for vehicles first sold in Canada."
So i only have
1. Auto
2. Parking lamps
3. Headlamps
The off is disabled in Canada lol. So im wondering if only my DRL are going to come on during the day time while the switch is on AUTO or even come on at all. How does it look for you?
@@JoHn-if6wy the fuses were removed to avoid damaging the breaker box, this way the battery cables can stay connected. You don’t wanna risk having to replace the entire box bc of an overload.
Once you’ve completed the diode install your lights will definitely run during the day, I don’t think the H2‘s in Canada will have a different setup vs the US models.
One key thing to remember, make sure that you place the diode in the correct position. I show an arrow to the direction the line on the diode should be, good luck and hopefully your install is a success.
Any experience with odometer and speedometer not working on an H2 Hummer? 2003. No codes and speedometer control VSS is new.
None at all but the Hummer forum has all the answers you seek, a google search will direct you to it.
Were the diodds expensive,and did you buy the diodds online if not where. I miss radio shack
So do I, Radio Shack was the spot. The diodes weren’t that expensive, I ordered it from Amazon that came with about 20 diodes.
What amp was your 200V Diode?
It was a 1 amp, thanks for watching the video
Thank you for the info I will attempt to do that to mine 👍🏾
You’re welcome and thanks for checking out the video, it’s definitely a big relief now that I got them to work.
Could you check if you have 12v at the DRL connector output?
Thank you
200v 1amp diod
You should show how you get to the back side of the bumper.
At 2:45 you should find the best way to get behind the bumper.
Still didnt resolve the DRL issue?
Do you have the same vehicle in this video?
@newtouchauto I do! All you did was, have the those lights come on when the parking lights are on.
@@mikeprofeto8808 My intentions were to get the fog lights back working and I achieved my goal. The fog lights now come on with the headlights vs not working at all.
@@newtouchauto 👍
I am can't see this video for some reason
I’m not sure why, try clicking the link below

Thanks for watching the video.
