This is the best install video I've seen for this, thank you for putting in the effort!
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 TH-camr 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.
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

Hi there, have you taken this through a standard car wash? If so, any issues?
Sure have. Been on the truck for 2 years. No issues so far.
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.
Hello friend, could you help me? I installed everything exactly as you did but when I put the truck in Drive it turns off. I don't understand what's happening and when I return it to park it turns on. It's on fuse 3 and I tried it with 4 too. My truck is a 2020 silverado trail boss lt
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 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.
I have a 2019 1500 silverado, bought everythimg from the list, but im unsure about where to connect it in the fuse box have no idea, could you help me out?
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.
Tommy, I just installed mine, having trouble, have fuse tap set up same as yours,only I have aftermarket led lights and won't come on, if I hook it to direct power light works, any help would be appreciated be greatly appreciated be greatly thanks Tony
Need a little more info. What model truck and fuse position. Also I have a separate fuse tap video on my TH-cam page where I explain I detail, might be helpful
Custom, I think I got it, had to use # 40 fuse
@@tonycappelli3573 ok good. Fuse 3 works on LT and up with the LED signature lights.
Will this fit flush with my 2020 Jeep Rubicon gladiator?
I found this AVS part number for your Jeep. 753156 please double check fitment before ordering.
I tried this exact same thing. I tapped the red wire into fuse 3 with a fuse tap and connected the black wire to the bolt nearby, but it just ain’t working. I also had 2 fuses plugged in. I’m just at at loss of what to do to get it to work.?.?
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.
@@tommysgreatoutdoors Thanks I’ll try this. Hopefully I don’t have to send it back.
@@tommysgreatoutdoors So I tried connecting the wires straight to the battery like you said and the lights work. It must be the fuse tap or the ground.
@@phillipmoore1245 Ok that’s good. We now know that the light functions correctly. Just need to retry the connections. I created a video this past weekend to try and help.
th-cam.com/video/4d3KsMYLB6o/w-d-xo.html
@@phillipmoore1245 try the ground. Same thing happened to me and I just needed to strip some paint off the painted bolt (that I thought was grounding me) and connect to an etched metal surface.
Great Tutorial thank you man! Any issues with it so far? Highly debating getting this but I'm worried about actually having to splice/tap the wires.
No issues so far after about 12k miles. Just take your time and do it right. Should last a very long time.
Hi some people say ti cause a lot of vibration on the hood, is it right?
I’ve heard that too. Maybe not installed correctly. I’ve had mine on for 2 years with no issues or vibrations.
👍👍
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?
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.
If anyone has this problem, look for the trailer hitch light fuse 41 on mine. Works great.
Looking at getting this. It looks awesome any issues a year later?
almost 20K miles later. No issues. Still works great.
Did you put 2 fuses in the tap to make it work
That is correct. One fuse governs the existing circuit, and the second fuse governs the new tapped circuit
😍😍🤩🤩
Turn signal also works for this windshield?
AVS makes two versions of this. One has a built in turn signal and one does not. This install does not have the built in turn signal. Wired into the headlight circuit.
What circuit would you connect to for a DRL light bar ? don’t see anything obvious in the diagram for the 2020 Silverado . Thx
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.

@@tommysgreatoutdoors thanks
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

Any hood vibrations at freeway speeds? Looks good! Also on the AVS website it notes it excludes the Trailboss. Any reason?
I travel on I 94 around Chicago every day for work. So far no issues. No vibrations no weird sounds. All is good.
As far as the AVS website, it’s a good question. I couldn’t tell you why.
Yeah I have a 2021 Trail Boss. Would you expect that it would fit mine? Glad you were able to install on your Trail Boss. And yes, their website says it doesn’t fit a TB.
@@RocketIIITurbo it fits my 2021 TB with no issues.
Thanks Tommy
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.
great video , thank u . i got the set , the hood and cab lights , all set up but the conecction to the fuse box yet , im new to this , can i conect both the cab and hood lights with a micro tap in the fuse number 3 ?
I connected the red wire to fuse 3 with a micro tap. the black wire to a nearby bolt. Everything is LED, doesn't draw much power. Works great without issue on my truck.
Thank you, so i will do that for the hood lights on number 3 , and then do the same for the cab lights but on a different number fuse ? Each on is own micro fuse tap ?
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.
Very helpful, thank you for replying , have a nice day 👍🏽
Nice vidio! What color was that and can u get that color on the regular aero skin? Also what color would you get on a black truck? Thanks
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.
@@tommysgreatoutdoors I have a Nissan Frontier!
@@matthewg7167 that’s a bummer as I do not think AVS makes this for Nissan. Easy place to check is realtruck.com
Can you tell me which fuse did you tap I got a 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 and I want to connect the raptor grill light
Fuse 3. Watch the video at about 17:00. I show where to install it.
Did it work?
anyone every had to remove one of these? especially with it sticking to the paint?....
Hey man do you have a link for this product. I read that it does not fit on a trailboss trim on the avs website?
It's very strange that AVS does not advertise this for the Trailboss. The hood is not any different. Clearly you can see that it fits my 21 Trailboss perfectly. And, I've had no issue over the last 13K miles or so.
I have a product link in the description, but it will just take you to a place on Amazon to buy it.
I have this on my 2021 trail boss and if i get over 70 miles per hour, the hood starts to shake very aggressively, something you wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t there.
Will it fit Chevy zr2??
It’s supposed to, but I would check with AVS first to make sure. AVS is also a little wired, they say it won’t fit a trail boss, but it fits mine perfectly.
what fuse did you tapped in, i tapped in park and the LED is dimmed
I tapped into fuse no 3 under the hood
@@tommysgreatoutdoors what power the fuse? description.
I believe it is Headlamp Left
Does it fit the 2022 ZR2?
It is not listed for 2022 refresh models on the AVS website
How do u tap into fuse box im stuck
Brian - You will need a separate fuse tap (there are other ways too, but this is the easiest). I have an Amazon Link in the discerption which is good for Newer GM trucks. In the video I show this in the fuse box around 17:00 minutes.
I did buy one still not working
@@brianmalone5430 what truck do you have?what fuse position did you use. Did you add a fuse? how did you ground the back wire?
@@tommysgreatoutdoors i hv a 2019 Silverado 1500 I tapped into circuit 3 still nothing
@@brianmalone5430 ok. Red wire is in the tap? Where did you ground the black wire? What fuse did you use in the tap?
You lost all credibility when you started peeling both ends. SMH.
