    OEM fog light kit installation

    I installed the OEM kit in my '09 Yukon. The lights themselves were a piece of cake. The switch module was actually easier than the instructions suggested - there are a couple of different trim arrangements - mine just popped out but yours may need some disassembly of the dash. The wiring...

    has anyone

    If you want a 1" drop (at either end), know that the XFE version has just that. As far as I can tell, the only difference is the springs, so replacing those would give you a genuine OE setup.

    Steering Wheel Controls

    I don't know this to be a fact, so treat it accordingly - however, from what I know about how our rides are wired, I would bet that the controls wouldn't do anything unless the body computer was re-programmed. Depending on how cooperative your dealer is (I think that is a contradiction in...

    Help adding heated seats to the second row

    I've never heard of GM offering heated rear seats (doesn't mean they don't) but I'm pretty sure ChevyFreak is right that you can't buy a kit. It shouldn't be that hard to do with a universal aftermarket kit (view here: http://www.heatedseatkits.com/heatedseatkits/iheat2/index.html but available...

    Has anyone installed their own heated seats?

    Yes and yes. Actually you get a whole new set of door handles. I ordered "titanium" to match my interior - I think they had black and tan too, but I don't remember since I wasn't looking for those.

    Installing heated seats right now - how to get lumbar knob off??

    I'd recommend doing it yourself - I found it to be pretty uncomplicated and in contrast to the OP I thought the instructions were OK, at least for the SUVs (the pickups are more involved). A couple of things to be aware of: you are more or less on your own for running the wiring - the fittings...

    Installing heated seats right now - how to get lumbar knob off??

    Do you have the factory kit (with the instructions)? What vehicle are you installing them in?

    Mine's the 40/20/40.

    About to Order Pedders Kit

    I have the full kit and would say that I am happy with it. The ride is a little more abrupt than stock but not harsh. The rear seems a little more so than the front, but I don't have shock extenders - not sure that what they would really do though. The handling is a major improvement - I can...

    interior lights wont turn on when door is open

    It took me a while to find this too - it actually seems like you have to push the bezel, not the switch. The markings are confusing (at least to my simple mind).

    $650 for new fluids at 36k miles?

    Total scam - at least you know they're a place to avoid. Remember that "service managers" are commisioned sales persons (who know nothing about cars) and treat their comments accordingly. The only honest recommendation you are going to get is in your owner's manual - trust it.

    Pics of G4 Tails Installed?

    You can buy them like this instead of tinting them:

    Fedders?

    I have the kit installed and am satisfied that it does what it is supposed to. The lower ride height is a given, but their claim is to improve handling too. I think they do this quite well but as some expense in ride harshness. I attribute that more to harder shock settings, but since I...

    Has anyone cut a coil?

    I think cutting coils has gotten an undeserved bad rap. A couple of years ago when I was fooling wtih my Envoy I got hold of some TBSS springs (~3/4" lower) - the only difference between the two was that the SS spring was one coil shorter at the fat end - same wire diameter and everything else...

    Air Dam- needed?

    Hard to know unless you were on the design team. Usually it's there for two reasons: fuel economy at highway speeds and cooling at idle and low speeds (prevents hot air recirculating under the bumper. If you don't think that those are going to be issues for you, go for it.
