Yeah...bruh, sorry but I don't trust this "expert" here. "You just kinda line it up". How about we measure and find the center? There are FAR more helpful videos on this light than this. This would have been an epic fail video if not for camera man here 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yes of course. Personally I just don't care for the look of having to leave the red tap on one side

1000% we wanted to do this installation as if you bought it yourself and were installing it on your own to show what you may experience

I was thinking the same thing and thought that was just plain common sense. But don't think this Post Malone from Wish has common sense

@@Lefishn Post malone from wish has helped me out with this vid, what have you contributed besides that useless comment behind a fake profile lmao.

@@user-ni3ty9no4j no fake profile BRO as you can see

Of course. Hoping it gave you some incite

Link to order?

You got an Instagram or photos of it? I have a 2014 and am curious how it looks

What length did u use on Silverado and what year Silverado ??

@billstapleton8833 I used the longest one they had. I believe 79 inch. The Silverado is a 2015.

@@TheDbrewer31 did u place the light strip on top of grill or stick it on edge of hood ?

We wanted to be brutally honestly and we happen to be picky but yes overall very good product

nice, cheap diy mod. Give it a try!

We've installed a lot more of these now and fits very well on more rounded hoods with no sharp turns

@@luxurystarlightingadvice on cars with the fuse box not being in the hood? Ie my bmw is near passenger seat and other is in trunk

The rating was specific to this car and the install. overall product is very good for certain vehicles

If you have an breakdown at night it can let other cars see you easily from head on, and give you engine bay light. I like your idea. 😃👍

That's what i was thinking because depends on the car the battery might be on opposite side..

I have a Cadillac ATS and the battery is in the trunk, so would I need to extend the wiring, or does it only need to make it to the fuse box??

@@michaelmoser493 you could get like from one of the fuses using the fuse tap

Yes it is on both sides depending on mounting locations (top or bottom mounting) and also what side you plan on wiring up the accessory

This will vary based on car, you have options of connecting directly to headlight low beam wiring or adding to low beam fuse

Best way would be find a way through the firewall and get entry through there. If possible run wiring along with original car wires for a clean look

Then it’s probably inside underneath dash on drivers side.(left or right depending on country). You’ll have to fish the wire through. In that case I recommend using the headlight fuse instead that’s in the hood fuse box.

He hit the nail on the head, every car will differ but the simplest way would be to tap into headlight wiring @@IFLTW

From our experience, as long as you thoroughly clean the service the adhesive provided is actually very good and should not give you any issues staying put

We do not recommend wiring this directly to the battery as it would always have power and remain on. Best thing to do is connect directly to headlight fuse or low beam wiring

We personally feel it would depend on the specific vehicle your mounting this to. Obviously some cars would have better fitment than others but overall a very easy installation

anythings possible

I would just get a “add circuit “ kit for around 10 bucks and wire it directly to the fuse box

Wire it to your cigarette lighter fuse. That way when the car is turned on it will come on and off they go off. Its a 20amp fuse in the inside car fuseboard.

Depending on your cars make ands model yes this would be possible. Refer to your fuse box diagram for wiring options

Check your lights when you lock or unlock your car, with most vehicles the unlock position will have some parking lights stay on for a little while, if so, hook your positive (red wire), to the wire that goes to that light bulb that stays on when you unlock the car. Also I have heard that these LED strips do not have a long life history, so my recomondation would be to hook the red wire to your light that comes on during unlock mode, then hook the black wire to the hot wire that goes to any other bulb thats on when your headlights are on, what this does is it puts positive volts on both wires which turns the light off, but grounds the wire through the bulb when the headlights are off, that allows the light to operate when you unlock the car, but when the headlights come on, the LED light strip turns off, so your not driving around with the light strip on all the time, killing the life span of the light strip, so it will last a much longer time. To me the coolest effect of the light strip is when it first comes on, and goes back and forth, so thats why I would hook it up the way I described, so it does that cool motion, when I unlock the car. 😁👍

Day lights

We haven't tried installing it there but this is better for a look where you can see the actual strip when on. If you are referring to having it just illuminate a hue this may not be ideal

Depending on on the car this may help

No

Lifesuny

that would depend on when you want the strip to power on. You have a couple different options like headlights or to a switched fuse so it would come on when the car is turned on and off. Also if you wanted you could also wire it to a hard switch so you can turn it on and off at will

I've read the descriptions for some versions of this products and the ones with animations say you can't because it messes up where the center is and so on, but they also have like 5 different lengths

On aliexpress btw

No this is very bright but no brighter than your headlights

Yes

Yes, it is best to connect it to a switched fuse so your not draining your battery and you will get the nice start up animation upon starting your vehicle. It will remain on until vehicle is turned off

​@@luxurystarlighting my audi a4 b7 fuse box on driver side dash, i am assuming i would have to wire somehow through from hood to inside if want to use ACC fuse? Thank you love your video

not sure. I would check your regions laws on that

I understand that but in my option it would have made more sense to just have it on one side and if you need to change mounting positions from bumper to hood you can simply just flip the strip so that the wire is now on the opposite side and mount that way. Would be a way cleaner look without the red backing.

Doubled sided in case your fuse box is on the right or left of the engine compartment.

@@fortunatedad7695 then flip it... it makes no sense to have double sided
