Very helpful video ! Thanks a lot . The Rig looks bad ass by the way 👏🏼💪🏼
I appreciate you bro!
Good job thanks for the info 👍🏻
You bet! Thanks for tuning in!
Everybody's taste is different. Been a fan of flashing/blinking brake lights since the original Cyber-light in the early 80's. Really helped on my motorcycle! Added Kahtec brake light flashers to the center light to every vehicle owned since 2002. Still some of the "dimbulb/distracted/yapping on their cell phones" pinheads have come dangerously close. Seeing these decided that I like this type of attention getter and will be better than the center light install. Easier too as I have the cargo light center style which requires two people and pulling down the headliner. Thanks for the video and will be checking more of yours!
I will never understand distracted drivers. Yep, these light strips are very affordable, easy to install and should last! Thank you so much for tuning in and I hope to chat with you again sometime soon We R Fergie!
@@modXELA Super excited as just received the Nilight Strip today! As the really cold weather is going to linger thought I'd wait to install despite having a heated garage, but went to test them in case of a problem. OK, is there a trick with getting the plug into the trailer connector? Tried and tried and tried. Looks like they are lining up but won't go in pass 2 or 3 mm. Thanks for your advice!
@@FergieNCC2475 I would highly recommend for you to wait until the temperature is at least 60F or you'll have problems with it sticking. I'm not clear on your issue regarding the plug. Do you mean the connector of the light strip doesn't fit into your 4-pin plug? Maybe photos will help... you can email me at modsxela@gmail.com.
@@modXELA Thanks for the quick reply. Will grab some pics in the next couple of days.
I think if that's what you like then it's good😊 I'm not a fan just a little too much for me... have a good safe week!!!🌞
Hey Billy-jade!! I thought I'd give it a shot and see what everybody else thinks. It was a 20-min install so not much invested here and it's not permanent. Nice to hear from you as always my friend!
Good
Thanks for tuning in DaddYes.
Hey brother, great video I am originally from Montreal Canada. My name is Freddie I have a SR5 Toyota Tacoma, 2021. I’m actually doing the hardwire from the back underneath I have the strip light bar and have a three-way harness kit from the back now the only pre-stripped wire on the light bar is red I have everything I need I have the tap in clip I have the shrink rubber wrap what I need to know is from underneath and not from the tail light. Am I looking for red wire to Tap in our model Toyota Tacoma I believe 3rd GENERATION Toyota Tacoma SR5. From underneath when I tap in pre-strip red wire from the LED light strip What am I looking for underneath is that wire red
Hello, I am having trouble installing the same LED when it comes to hand wiring the reverse light. Is it possible to do it without a wire tap connector?
Sure, you can strip the wires and just wrap it directly. Some wire tap connectors are a little finicky.
So have you hard wired the rest of the wires in yet? How did you keep the snow off the 4wire flap that you talked about? I live in NY and don’t like how that door has to stay open when the lights are hooked up
XELA, would like to know how you hard-wired (t-tap) the 4-pin wires to bypass using the 4-pin plug. Thanks and great video!
Hi tombenendetto... sorry for late reply. Will work on that video once weather warms up!
Late questions but how did that side mirror from last year hold up ?
Hey Tyler... No complaints here! It's holding up really well. No change in structure/housing and the electrical components are functioning as expected. =)
i got tge 60in but my reverse has both white and red any idea why?
Double check the wiring on your 4-pin connector, maybe it got crossed. It shouldn’t do that as the wire for the reverse is independent.
60 in fit on the Tacoma sport?
Nope, that’s a little long. You want the 48”
What size wire tap connector did u use 14-18 gauge for the reverse light
I will verify that for you tonight.
@@modXELA I noticed u didn't use the T wire tap....which I think would be better to use cause when your led light bar will eventually go bad or burn out with the T tap all u got to do is unplug it and put on new...the way u did it the reverse wire will get shorter every time I replace the led light bar
@@modXELA thanks for verifying it for me
18-22
@@pineapplesmash6678 totally agree with you but all I have are these quick-snap crimp connectors that were readily available... I will invest on those T-taps, thanks for the tip!
Hey brother this is FREDDY I’m my install from underneath and not removing the reverse light by tapping into the wire underneath, but I am needing help for is looking for the wire will it be red
Hey Freddy, fir 3rd gen, there’s only red and white wires and you tap onto the red. What color wires do you see?
@@modXELA hey there well from the tail lamp reverse lap I see red but since so I’m doing it from the back underneath the bumper and my LED strip bar pre-strip wire is red, so I see a bunch of wires bunch together, very skinny and thin there is one that’s red and I added 3 inch cube lights and there is a red tape, wire digger on the skinny ones are a high seen when you get it from the tail lamps you tapped into the red now that I’m doing a cup underneath the back of the bumper and I am I looking for that red one but I don’t know if it’s the red one is very thin that are all bunch together or the more bigger one that’s red that leads from my 3 inch lights
@@modXELA from the tail lamp reversed wire is red and underneath the bumper and why is it a bunch together? Skinny red green white yellow maybe a orange where are all bunched together and skinny there is one Red thicker one that feeds from 3 in. Cube lights connector.
@@jetsbme1 it’s hard for me to tell if it’s the right one but because it’s thinner, my educated guess is that it is not the correct wire. One way to do it is by using a tester. Check for continuity from the red wire of the reverse light to the wire that you mentioned.
@@modXELA OK thank you cause I would like to do it from underneath the back of the bumper because of my back up camera cause I heard if I do it on the tail lamp may may affect my back up camera what do you think?
Would like to know your long term review?
I don't know about long term as I've only had it for 7 months but so far so good. No issues, still works, no dead LEDs so far and no signs of peeling either. I hope this helps and thanks for tuning in santhtorac!
@@modXELA thank you!!
Installing these is up there with wearing monarch Nikes, it’s when you know you’ve reached retirement age
Lol... I had to look up what monarch Nike's are. Anyway, I can't see the connection there but thanks for tuning in anyway.
@@modXELA I’m just messing with you, nice taco man
@@tactlcal_bacon_bits4773 it's cool, thanks man!
Dude, no …. You have a nice taco don’t put that on! It’s totally ghetto fabulous. Sometimes you have to admit you made a mistake buying something. We all have done it. Those are freakin ugly period !
Simple is always better. Stop ✋🏼
Hey Muddyh2o2! Lol... I appreciate your honesty bro! 😁 It's just that Nilight gave me this to install and demo. I thought I'd give it a try and see what everybody else thinks, I really want to see reactions and thank you for sharing yours... looks like it's not off to a good start!!! 😂
Kuya. I have to agree with Muddy. Then again, I live in the ghetto and see this too often. Perhaps you don’t. 😂
Lol... I do agree with you and Muddyh2o2. It's not permanent and like I said, I want to hear what everyone thinks so thanks for your input Jonathan! =)
