Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to be showing you how to replace the headlight switch. This is a 2011 Silverado. It's pretty much the same procedure for this generation, which is basically 2007 to 2015 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Yukon Excel, and Suburban. The items you'll need are a new switch from 1AAuto.com, 10mm socket with a ratchet and extension, Phillips screwdriver, and a flat blade screwdriver.
On the driver's side pull off the panel of the fuse panel cover, and then there are a couple of things to remove. There's a black Phillips screw there, a 10mm bolt that's up in that recess there, the silver bolt, and then another black Phillips screw on the other side. I'll fast-forward as I use this screwdriver to remove the two Phillips screws, and a 10mm socket with a ratchet extension to remove the bolt can be removed by pulling firmly out, and I'm pulling back. I'm not pulling up. I'm pulling back on the panel. The bottom comes off first, and then the top comes out. You have to pull firmly to get it to come out. Then disconnect your break controller if you have one.
Now just pull out firmly on the top left hand side of the panel where the switch is. You have to reach in behind. There's a couple of tabs. You push the tab, and disconnect the headlight switch, and then you'll want to do the same thing for the computer selector if you have that option. You'll just need a flat blade screwdriver, and there are a few tabs that hold the headlight switch in place. You basically just want to push, or actually if you're holding it from the back you pull on the switch, and pry those tabs to release the switch from the panel.
Then reverse the procedure to install the new switch. Push it in from the back and lock it in place. Then take your panel, reconnect both the computer control if you have one, as well as the headlight switch. Then line up the ducting and the panel, and push it back in place. Be careful up on the top corner. Make sure you push that down into the dash. It locks in place.
Then you'll want to reconnect your trailer break controller if you have one and put that panel up in place. You should be able to the tabs basically started where they need to be. Just push it into place. I'll fast-forward as I start the 10mm bolt and the two Phillips screws, and then tighten those up. Just finish off by putting your fuse panel cover back in place.
Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.

This replaced my worn out, sticking, original light switch in my 08 Tahoe very nicely. The back lighting has perfect, blue-green lighting and is sharp. Installation is fairly easy to do and took about 10 minutes. Getting the retainment clips to all cooperate all at the same time was the most challenging part of the whole thing.
Easy installation. Works ok. Since I changed the switch my foglights tend to strobe randomly. An inconvenience at the worst.
Good product just what I needed but was misdiagnosed.
Very happy with results of installation very happy with results works great
The fog dome light button gets stuck in the factory housing. You have to pull it out manually in order to reset it. I had returned the first one and the replacement had the same issue. Not recommended. (2007 Suburban)
Perfect
perfect solution for what I needed
Exact fit and video on your site made it extra easy.
perfect fit. video installation differed from actual part.
Great product appearance and functionality as that of the original equipment unit. Fairly easy removal of original and install of the new replacement unit.
This part is meant to be a factory replacement for models that already have fog lights, so we would not have any information for what you are looking to to. Most fog light upgrade kits (including ones we offer) include a wiring kit that comes with a separate switch to control them.
