I did that in my 03 Sierra, it ended up turning the fog light housing black in the middle from the heat...

That could be a factor as well, mine took a little while for it to happen but once it started it happened fast. It bubbled the chrome reflective crap inside of the fog light housing also. Hopefully it will work ok with the silverado setup, they were nice and bright thats for sure. Now that I think about it I think I was also using 100W bulbs as well, that didnt help any..

i think the blackening and melting happens in traffic...you know, without all the wind to cool everything off. i want to try something with my fogs because they are dim as hell but they are 110 per fog
