I love my tahoe, and even though it is 2 wheel drive, it is often subjected to the woods, and other low light situations. The headlights on the truck are terrible. I have buffed out the hazy plastic covers, and put in the Sylvania Silerstar ultra halogen bulbs, but the field of site did not change much. Im researching getting either a set of auxiliary driving lights, or fog lights. My first question is which would be the best option? And Secondly I have heard installing these types of lights is time consuming because you have to find a certain circuit. I would rather do it myself because I enjoy working on my truck, and the quotes I have gotten for installs have been in the $200 range. Is there any advice you can give me on how to do a self installation?

They are not hard to install. When you get the lights, it will come with directions. Just follow them. I recommend getting power directly from the battery and run an inline fuse close to the battery. That way, you will not overload any circuits.

Let me know if you have questions.
