Silverstar Foglight Conversion

Heres the list of Parts Needed to do this:

Sylvania Silverstar p/n 880st x2
GM p/n 12102664 x2

To change the fog lights there is an Access panel under the car. You do not need to jack up the car. There are two bolts on a small panel, remove the bolts and fold it down. You will see the foglights right there. Twist the bulb to remove it with the connector on it. Now remove the bulb and get ready to repin the connector. After goin through the repins of the connector (see below) clip the new Silverstar fog light on the connector making sure the seal is on the connector. Twist the fog light back in place and check out your new fogs.

Repining the Connector:

1. Using a small flat screwdriver, pry gently back on the clips holding the retainer on the connector.

2. Slide retainer back and remove it.

3. Now look at the tip of the connector. There are small slots on the sides of the pins. Insert a paper clip or some other small flat object, and pry gently outwards on the pin and pull lightly on the wire till you feel the pin come loose. It takes alittle to get the first one, but once you have the feel it is very easy. Try it out on the new connector first since its easier then tryin on your back.


4. Once you have the connector on the car and one of the new ones apart its time to reassemble. Before sliding in the pins make sure the retaining pin is pryed back alittle. This little clip holds the pin in place. When you push the pin in you should hear an audible "click" if not the retainer on the pin is too far in. A good rule of thumb is to pry it level with the tabs on the pin.

After you have that in replace the Retainer for the connector and your all set. Remeber the seals that are on the wires and connector must remain on and in good condition. These are your seals to protect against water damage.

The #'s listed are for 98-02. By changing the connectors you can use the # listed above with no cutting or splicing. The factory fogs are #894 on the 98-02's, on 93-97 it is #885.
Now enjoy matching headlights and foglights if you have change to the Silverstar headlights.
