How to make fog lights come on with headlights silverado

To make the fog lights on your Chevrolet Silverado come on with the headlights, you’ll typically need to activate them using the headlight control settings. Here’s how to do it:

Note: The specific steps may vary slightly depending on the model year of your Silverado, so consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for detailed instructions tailored to your truck.

1. Start Your Silverado:

  • Ensure your truck is running, or the ignition is in the “ON” position. You don’t need to start the engine, but the key should be in the ON position.

2. Turn on the Headlights:

  • Use the headlight switch or control dial to turn on your vehicle’s headlights. Usually, you can turn them on by rotating the switch to the “ON” or “Headlights” position. This step will activate the low-beam headlights.

3. Activate the Fog Lights:

  • After turning on the headlights, locate the fog light control on your Silverado’s dashboard or steering column. In most Silverado models, there’s a separate button or switch to control the fog lights.

4. Turn On the Fog Lights:

  • Press or flip the fog light control to the “ON” position. This should activate your truck’s fog lights, and they will now illuminate along with the headlights.

5. Adjust Fog Light Intensity (Optional):

  • Some Silverado models allow you to adjust the intensity of the fog lights. You can typically do this by turning the fog light control knob or dial. Consult your owner’s manual for specific instructions on adjusting the intensity.

6. Check Fog Light Indicator:

  • Most vehicles have an indicator light on the dashboard that illuminates when the fog lights are on. Check your dashboard to ensure the fog light indicator is lit.

7. Verify Operation:

  • Exit your vehicle and walk around to the front to verify that both the headlights and fog lights are on. You should see both sets of lights illuminated.

8. Turn Off the Fog Lights:

  • When you no longer need the fog lights, simply turn off the fog light control. This will deactivate the fog lights while leaving the headlights on.

9. Turn Off the Headlights:

  • When you’re done driving with the headlights and fog lights on, use the headlight control switch to turn off the headlights. This will also turn off the fog lights if they were left on.

Keep in mind that some Silverado models may have variations in the design of their headlight and fog light controls, so consult your owner’s manual if you have trouble finding or operating these controls. Additionally, always use fog lights responsibly and only when needed for improved visibility in foggy or adverse weather conditions.
