As the title states, I'm reading how simple the "stock" fogs are to install, but apparently you will or may need the bcm to be programmed to run them? Can anyone verify? Here's my thought. I want to run a rigid light bar in my lower grill, and attach it to the factory fog light button (that I don't have and will install) and put my rigid light wiring in the factory fuse box to run it without splicing the harness or adding an aftermarket button drilled in somewhere.

So so back to the main question, what will you need to do to use the factory button in the factory fuse box and will the bcm be cool with it, or how do I make it all happy and working?

Crap. Thanks for the fast reply

What do I call the dealer and ask for to price it out? Any people have experience on prices and will they know what to do when I ask them to reflash the bcm for fog lights?

I have a 12 and no idea of the date code (although not hard to figure out) so I'm basically going in to it planning on worst case scenario

That's great advice and helpful. I don't have the button so would it still work without the button? I was under the assumption the bcm controlled that before the box

Just called Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, they said its manufacture date is 9/11 and will likely need to be reprogrammed. They said the kit is $230 and install around $60 (including reflash?) but all I really wanted was the factory button to give me power in the correct fuse, not really needing the gm stuff past the fuse box. Kind of at a loss, $100 to turn on a bcm button

Yeah when I told them the last 8 of the vin, that's what they said. Just checked the body sticker in the door and that's accurate. So there's no way to get around the bcm calibration then, huh...

Just called another dealer and got "I don't think that's even possible." Uhhhh, I can give you website links and show you it is, I just need some help on the bcm program. *office space voice* "yeah, ummm, let me call you back if my tech says we can do it". Ok, thanks guy lol

I thought it was 12-13 and mid way 13 they were good to go in factory trim. Well, I've just been busy to try the light trick in the fuse box but will do that soon. Either way, I'll end up doing it I guess.
