Hi, all

First time posting on the forum. So a while back I purchased some aftermarket fog-lamps for my 2013 1LS MAUAL.. Worked great.

But someone at work backed into the front of my car so I had to had the bumper replaced, so I thought I'd get some halos/projector lamps put in while the front was off and it was free to do so.

I also told the body shop to clean up my electrical from the aftermarket fogs. But when they tried to run the halos and the fogs from the side-marker circuit, the fuse blows after 2 mins.

The body shop did a great job getting me a factory harness and tapping into existing wiring they found for fog lamps in my 1LS, there is even a fuse for the fogs from the factory. I got the fog switch from GM but they fogs do not turn on.

So I got to thinking and realized that they fogs on the 2LS (nearly identical to my car but automatic transmission and a different rear ratio) could simply be running using a software change since in the 2LS the DRL are the foglamps and thus power is being sent trough a different relay.

So the question.... Can I do this myself? or do you guys think that the dealer will just flash a 2LS image on to the ECU for me?
