Your profile says you have an 07, is that correct? If so, is it a z71 or other model?

I would not recommend anything over 25w if you decide to put them in those little round housings for the Fog lights.. trAV should know of a place to get the 25w ones he used in his 2nd gen avy.

Keep a close eye on them. I'd check the housings on a regular basis for the first month or so.
