I got some LED bulbs I was trying to install and the for life of me I can't get them to stay connected to the housing. I spent about 3hrs on the damn things yesterday and I'm all but ready to send them back. I was able to get the driver's side done but not the passenger side. I finally figured out how to get the housing out but you have to remove the bottom black piece(fender support)then push out the fog light housing. But even with the housing out I still can't get the wires to stay connected to the light. Tahoe going to dealer tomorrow for oil change. I'm having them re-install the fog light with factory bulbs.
Freaking 15min job ends up at almost 4hrs. LEDs are going back where they came from.
I'm giving up on this crap.
SORRY. Rant over.
I don't know of any tricks but I wish you luck on yours.

I went out yesterday and took another look at these lights and how to get them installed. Reached up and removed the driver's side bulb first, installed the LED bulb in the harness. The damn thing clicked right in. Re-installed bulb into housing.
The passenger side was a little more difficult. It was hard to get my hand up there to squeeze the taps to remove the factory bulb. That took some time but I managed to get it out. Old bulb came out and new LED went in. And once again the wiring harness didn't want to stay connected. I'm not sure what I did but after about the fourth or fifth try it clicked on.
I spent about 45min to an hr yesterday working on this. Why is it that sometimes the simplest of jobs can turn out to be so difficult?? I guess the automotive gods were working against me this last weekend.
Anyway the lights are in and look pretty good.
