Glad it helped! Been on for 2 years with no issues.
Thanks for the great video!
Installed mine this weekend and used your video! Thanks for the tutorial!
Excellent step by step from a fellow KZreadr you did a great job!
I wish they sold the LED strip separately. Mine is fogging up after a year. Still looks good at night though.
I wish the one they made for the Bronco worked better. I really like this hoodshield-light combo. The Bronco hood has a bit of a curve and the light bar is too straight on the edges so it sticks out a tad....bummer. The Bronco isn't as wide as their other models this is made for.

👍👍
So I have watched a couple time and I am missing the splicing part and how to connect to power. At what point in the video do you discuss it. I did notice at end you mentioned something about the fuse in spot 3.

There are a number of ways to wire this in. I ended up getting a lot of similar questions so I made another video detailing this kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZphnrdWGia-oZtI.html
Those sticky zip ties wont last long. What id do is drill holes and get those zip ties that press into holes. Itll look factory. Hoods aluminum anyways.
Thanks for the video it was a great help, but I have 1 problem. The lights on the avs don't cut off. I bought all the equipment you listed and tapped to 3. I have a 2022 1500 custom. Any ideas on what u did wrong?
@tommysgreatoutdoors
Жыл бұрын
Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. The custom does not have the LED signature light that the LT and up has. Because of that, fuse 3 may not work as expected. This may take some trial end error.

Awesome video Tommy & the one on the fuse tap explanation! Only question I had for you is the mesh cable management did you go with the 10ft or 25ft? Asking cause if I can save $6 bucks why not lol - Keep up the great videos!

The 10ft is plenty. No need to get the 25ft unless you have other projects. I put the Amazon links in the description. The cord is also here amzn.to/3I705fS

You could do it a few different ways. Put them both on No 3, again LEDs draw very little power. Just connect the lines to one single fuse tap. No 3 is one of the headlights and No 4 is the other. So you could put one circuit on No 3 and the other on No 4, each with their own fuse tap.

I would recommend an ignition on circuit and running a switch. I have added a useful link...Otherwise fuses 1 and 2 are for your high beams if you only want the light bar to come on/off with that. www.startmycar.com/chevrolet/silverado/info/fusebox/2020

Hey Tommy just got mine installed on my 2016, used tap-a-fuses and tied into the box, yet it shuts off when I'm on my brake, does yours do this also? Trying to figure out if it's a function of the light or if it's a connection issue.

If you have an LT or higher with DRL's, then either fuse 3 or 4 will work. if not then you may have to do some trial and error.
Did you put 2 fuses in the tap to make it work
@tommysgreatoutdoors

That is correct. One fuse governs the existing circuit, and the second fuse governs the new tapped circuit

Hello - This is a little strange. The process should be the same from 2019 - 2022 1/2. A Custom TrilBoss will have this issue as it does not have the DRL's, but your LT Trailboss should work with no issues. Do your DRL's work while in Drive?

I used the simple matte black. There is another option for a little more cost. For GM tucks they also make a white and a silver. I think for other makes there is also a black option. If you have a GM truck, then I would stick with the matte black as the other two colors would not look right.

I’ll try and help troubleshoot. Disconnect the wires from the ground and the fuse tap. Then connect them directly to a battery source to test the circuit. Truck battery should work, but a simple 9v household battery does the trick too. Remember red to + and black to -. If the light turns on, then the issue is with either your ground or fuse tap installation. Try it again. If is does not turn on, there may be a defect in the light bar and I recommend you return it.
