Just installed the grill overlay ( found a carbon fiber style one ) and installed the same lights , bought from bright source with your promo code - I was able to use the screw to fix the light and it turns to be very nice - thank you for the great videos
You inspired me Don, Auxbeam Switch panel installed, installed my under hood light today and started on my grill lights. Light pods in hand waiting on my brackets. Thanks Bud.
I knew I was going to like your videos when I saw we had the same cabinets in our shops! :) Thanks for some really great content! Just what I was looking for to mod my new 22 silverado rst!
@Donslife Hey, I got a question for you. Can these amber & white grill lights flash or blink with the turn signals or hazard/emergency lights- or they can't work in that manner??
I have a 2008 GMC Sierra and I was wanting to get these. I was wondering how I would switch them between amber and white if I don’t have any other aftermarket lighting accessories? Would I need to get something like a switch panel or anything else before I do this? Thanks! Love the channel!
These tires are the Goodyear Duratracs. There will be a new video very soon about those too. Here is the first video : th-cam.com/video/qulcmUYdgog/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video. I just ordered the raptor lights. Question: Do you manually turn on the raptor lights every time you hop in or can the switch panel have it come on every time when the truck is started? Thanks!
I thought I answered this yesterday, but maybe it didn’t post. I do have to turn on my switch panel every time. I wanted them that way. If you want them to come on automatically, I’d suggest tapping the DRL or lowbeam fuse
To get each color separately you have it wired to auxbeam switch? Can you show how you did that? Is it a separate button then for each color or to do both at same time?
Hey Don love the channel all the way from Florida!! Did you ever consider mounting these in the black piece in the gap between the hood and grill? Just wondering because I think it would look really good. I may try it. Love the videos! You have great ideas and the videos are very well done, keep it up!
wow Don your Truck looks sick! i cant keep up with the wiring mods lol. Will you be installing a ring camera on your Truck? I like that i can view my truck through my phone but i dont know if i like how the camera is set with a long mount
Thanks man. I am not sure about the Ring camera in my vehicle. I know there is some controversy with the home systems right now and privacy, but for me I think it is the shape and mounting location in the demo. I need to research it more.
Another great video, s there anyway you can explain in more detail wiring it for whote and amber? Did you put white and amber on seperate switch s in switch box?
Yes they are on separate switches on my Auxbeam panel. There is a wiring diagram photo on my TH-cam community page and Instagram showing which device is connected to which switch.
If ill connect the white wire on high beam fuse and connect the amber wire with low beam fuse, will it switch colors with high and low beam? Or both colors will lightup together making in yellowish ? Gmc sierra 2018?
I don’t have a 2018 to reference, but if your low beams stay on with your high beams then yes you will have a both colors at the same time and become yellowish.
Man, I love how you got your truck set up. Great videos too! So in regards to this video I like the grille lights and the bar light to compliment it as well. I have a 2023 HC and I think I’ve found a way to do the grille lights but not sure about the bottom bar light as I don’t want to cut anything and I haven’t figured out where it can go but my question as I’m new to this completely is how are you powering and switching colors. Is there a remote system for this and can I achieve this without splicing into anything. I just don’t want to void any warranties that I have. Thanks in advance!
I have 2-3 videos on the subject. This one is a good start. It keeps everything isolated from the rest of your electrical system. New Switch Panel AUXBEAM AR-800 RGB Multifunction Bluetooth LED Install and Review. th-cam.com/video/nlDsZFIrpA4/w-d-xo.html
Question: I do not have the fog light mod so my fog lights turn off when my high beams turn on. Do you think I could wire the amber to my fog lights and the white to my high beams? Is this possible or is there a chance both would be on at the same time and ruin the lights? 🤔
I think it would work as you suggested. Even if there was a scenario where both colors came on, I am told by Brightsource that it shouldn’t cause any damage to the lights. They will glow a washed out amber color though if both are on together
Getting my auxbeam switch box delivered tomorrow. Location looks great. Did your truck come with the black top or is it a rap. New to your channel. Good job !,
Very nice video. I have a 2020 Sierra 1500 Denali ultimate. Any chance you know where I could get a chrome delete? It’s black so I want to black it out and add the off-road lights you have with the blackout look think it would look mean.
Thanks, what do you want to chrome delete. Denali’s have a lot of chrome. Some can be vinyl wrapped, some trim is better to replace. The grill for the denali is likely a paint job
@@Donslife I was thinking of almost everything. The mirrors, grille and down below the grille where the tow hooks are and the window trim. The exhaust tips I’m not really worried about because I’m ordering a new exhaust that has black tips.
@@chrisnielsen3992 I got a gloss black lower grille/skid plate and a gloss black grille off of eBay to put on my 22 White Frost Tricoat Denali. Also swapped out to red tow/recovery hooks. Looks sooo much better.
Don. In your video you talked about a secondary switch. Just got a 2023 at4X and wanted some advice on doing a light set up. Anyway I can touch base with you
Easy peasy. I connected all of the DRL wires to the same switch location. Just be sure to calculate their Amp requirements to help you pick the right switch location
Here is the original switch video: New Switch Panel AUXBEAM AR-800 RGB Multifunction Bluetooth LED Install and Review. th-cam.com/video/nlDsZFIrpA4/w-d-xo.html There has been many updates since then with more add ons. I have a picture of the wiring on my TH-cam community page and also on Instagram
@@Donslife so i have a quick question just for my information, Lets suppose i have light that has two colors (amber + white) Now i connected my amber color to ignition which will be on all the times when the car is on, and the wirr for white light if i connect to a turn on positive button , will the lights will automatically turn white when the white wire gets power or it will light up both amber and white same time or will short circuit? I have same marker lights from bright source
@MohammadHarisMania the white and amber with both illuminate at the same time. One color will not override the other. You’ll end up with a yellowish color. No harm will come to the lights if you do that either.
Don I just purchased the switch box and the DRL spot lights and I’m lost wiring them. How did you do to set the DRL and the spot light in separate bottoms? And in which one you plugged the ground so they both work independently? Thanks keep it up with the videos 👍🏻
I put up a picture on my TH-cam Community page of you want to review it. I also put it up on Instagram. Or you can email me. My contact info is the video description
They are a universal design. Take a closer look at some mounting areas on your grill and the measurements of the lights on the website. I think you could find a spot
I don't fully understand how you can have different colors. What I'm gonna do is something like this. 1. LED marker lights in my grill similar to your. Amber color to match running / parking lights 2.blinker compleat REHAB. I don't know where or what I'm gonna do but it's coming. I'm more of a modest kind of person. I replace my headlights. I replaced my back up lights. I need to do my inside lights as well. And last , under seat accent lights. At night I caint see dick anywhere in side my truck.
Each light houses two sets of LEDs. White and Amber. Some people may only want one color, but there is a 2nd color available if hooked up. If both are being turned on at the same time, then you get a muted orange color from the two colors blending
Have a close look at where you can fit some. You have 4 options to try and make work: adhesive, back plate, direct mount or cable tie like me. They are universal
These won't work for a honda passport trailsport because of the grille and tech used inside of it jistcame froma truck accessories store and got the unfortunate news!!!!
🤔 I don’t know enough about that specific vehicle, but I looked at some feeds in the Honda Passport forums and many have grill lights. Tapped into various circuits or on separate switches.
I recently discovered your channel and am enjoying it. i have a similar truck, 2500 HD Sierra AT4 6.6L, and am using some of your mods. but one i can't seem to find the video for is the led light bar in the bottom of the front grill?? where can i find it? thanks
Welcome! Here is the first light-bar video. The 2500 will be different but maybe you’ll figure out an option : th-cam.com/video/WxOSm0azhkg/w-d-xo.html There is a second video where I upgrade this one to another brand same mounting though
Awesome video. I just ordered the raptor lights. Question: Do you manually turn on the raptor lights every time you hop in or can the switch panel have it come on every time when the truck is started? Thanks!
I press the on switch for the panel and it has 4 separate lights added to a group. If you want them to come on automatically, I’d suggest tapping into the DRL fuse

Thanks 👍

Man that was a good install! Very nice keeping things informative, kept everything tidy. Looks good!!
Thanks man. Usually try to do things once and take my time to avoid problems down the road
You're brave. Pulling a blow torch out around my truck/ truck parts always freaks me out. I use a heat gun.
Experience I guess. I only use a heat gun when I wrap but not a torch. Go figure
It's what I was waiting for. Thanks
Glad I could help!
How come in the beginning of the video the DRL are flickering? Is it the camera or is that a mod?
Its the camera. At all frame rates 24/30/60 or 120 there comes a point where they sync and cause a flicker effect
Hey Don, let me try this again on the right video.
What size wire is needed for the raptor style grille lights.
I’m doing 3. Thanks.
I mention it in the video at the at 3:50 that I am using 24. But you could use 22 or 20 no problem
That’s what I get for trying to lip read. 😂
At 4:46 you only reference “a little heavier gauge”.
Thanks for sharing, need to add these to my ride 👍
No problem 👍

Amazing work man, would you help guide me on what I’d need to have these installed on a 2021 keep grand Cherokee Wk2 would be much appreciated! Thanks
I’d start be deciding how many you need. Where you’ll mount them. Lastly, if you want to run a switch or tap into your Jeep’s running lights
To get each color separately you have it wired to auxbeam switch? Can you show how you did that? Is it a separate button then for each color or to do both at same time?

Email or Instagram. Instagram is easier to share pictures. The auxbeam switch is super handy if you look for my videos on that
How did you hook up all of your DRL lights together so that they all change at once through the Switch panel. Looking at doing the same.
Easy peasy. I connected all of the DRL wires to the same switch location. Just be sure to calculate their Amp requirements to help you pick the right switch location
@@Donslife Then on your switch panel do you have it set to a monetary switch to change the color?
@curtiscorzine5718 no, I have each color drl assigned to its own button. Then if I want I can set it to toggle, momentary or pulse
@@Donslife Awesome. Thanks for the info. With more lights like this I would love to see a video showing this.
