Gotta love these rock lights that will never, ever shine on a rock
Gotta love these channels that will never, ever post content but hate on others.
Rocks do make it onto asphalt on occasion, but normally they're just referred to as pebbles. Tomato/tomato.
Thank you for making the video! Im working on adding some accessories on my stock '50 Coronet and this explained awhole lot more than other videos Ive seen.
Orilleys sells a tool for running the wire through rubber grommets. Looks like a screw driver with a hole in the handle . I've always ran my constant and ground wires just like did . I've been wanting to do switches in my over head center console . I would suggest using wire loom to straighten up some of the wires in the engine bay and it's added protection .
I plan on wire looming everything just ran out of time that night. I don’t like the bare wire look.
@@AaronCates what is wire looming
@@CODESFVA plastic protective sheath to run wires through and keep them in place, just look at the factory wiring harnesses.
Very helpful. First one I've seen that helped
Did the same on my truck a year ago best place for them
Nice done
Very impressive
Sup brother! Great video. Question I saw when you connected the two wire with the heat shrink thing, now I noticed that both wire are different sizes? What gauges were they?
Hey so I have wheel lights on mine and they keep draining my battery and I was wondering if my wheel lights are controlled with just my phone and I install that switch like how you did will it shut them off even tho they are controlled by my phone
tried to install it and went to crank my truck up and battery was dead🤦🏿♂️. gotta go charge it
I got that exact switch for my rock lights but for some reason it isn’t communicating with them even though the switch it self turns off & on. I have my load wire coming from the switch connected to the main red positive wire from the rock lights with a fuse on it. I’m stumped on why the switch isn’t communicating with the lights whenever you turn the switch off & on… My ground for my rock lights is the negative pole on my battery but they would always stay on or hot the whole time connected to the battery even when I would turn my switch on & off so I wonder if its my ground for the rock lights that could be issue & why it’s not communicating properly. I would appreciate some feedback from you on what you think could be going on, that would be great!
Mine did same thing get 5 prong switch and it will work idk why 3 prong switch did that
Dope af bro
I mean, this is cool (switch box mounted in the dash), but no wire looms? No grommets for drilled holes? no relay? Did you use an in-line fuse block at all? RIP your wires when you do off-roading.
Dude... I cam here to see a good explanation of wiring to switches for off road lights, but I think this is a good example of what not to do. And that wires rats nest @ 3:00, man come on.... Not a clean install, not professional at all.
Did you have to use a relay switch anywhere?
Old comment but you should always use a relay.
@@WalterMelonsThat's most likely why that old switch melted to the dash, that and no fuse.
How big did you drill the hole for the switch?
Not sure if ull see this.. but, can u run the 1st and third switch without without the turning on the 2nd?.. since the power wire is all connected to the same wire?
You can run any switch with this setup, you can turn on any of them by theirselves or turn them all on, doesn’t matter.
Yes because it's constant. If the wires didn't touch and came off a different tab on the switch then you would have that problem.
why no relay was used can you explain please
What amp fuse from the batterie to the switch?
Just curious as to what wheel lights you have and what size did you go with I have 20" wheels and dont really know what to go for as far as size of the rings or how to mount them per day nice looking truck and keep up the awesome DIY videos
I have a video on what wheel lights I have and now to mount them.
@@AaronCates ok yea I should looked at the vids first lol thanks for reply
No problem!
@@AaronCates it never said what size the ring was but I guess with the ones you got it was adjustable
tried to install it and went to crank my truck up and battery was dead🤦🏿♂️. gotta go charge it
what tire lights do you have
I saw a power wire what kind of speakers you got in that thang
Crescendo in the doors and just a basic kicker 12 in the backseat.
You shoulda taped the bare wire behind the plug
👍👍❗
bro...take those screws out and replace them w rivets...problem solved
This weirdo really said he is going to put a light on the back for people that might have their high beams on 😂😂😂😂 dude you weird
