I watched this video a few months back, I didn't have the LED light then, I just thought the video looked interesting. Then this morning this LED strip turned up cheap on a Facebook ad, so I grabbed one. Then I searched for this video again. I really love how you explained those wire connectors. Sure it seems simple, but I like how you mentioned that you've seen things before that explained something and it made your life easier and of course everyone has to start somewhere. Call me old fashioned, but I thought that was pretty cool. Now I can't wait for my light to get here so I can have a crack at this. I got a new 2023 Ram about 6 months ago and it's white, so this video checks all the boxes! Thanks for such a simple video. truck looks awesome!

Great video and awesome looking truck! I was looking into this, but I have an old truck. But looking at this seems like it should be a no brainer! Thank you so much for the list for the connectors! I have seen a few wire taps and fuse piggy backs and more confident in getting these now. I enjoyed the install and I could clearly follow what you did. Yes it's a simple install, but you made it enjoyable! Like it should be! Props man. And thanks for being a Fireman!

Good work, man - extremely informative. Truck looks awesome. Please, keep us updated if this holds up. I've heard a ton of horror stories about them failing in a short period. I'm not sure if this is due to the lack of weather resistance - but I may order it and do my best to water proof it. I'm curious if I'd be able to make it work lining it up with the lower portion to align with the headlight DRL's.. Appreciate it!

Definitely one of the better video walk-thrus I’ve seen, so thank you for that. I’m curious what fuse you chose to use. I have one of these strips for my Colorado and I’m admittedly not that “auto savvy”. I assumed I’d put it in my headlight fuse (and I still may), but that is in a separate fuse block inside the cab. Thanks in advance for the advice…
@FirefighterBuell

Thank you bro! So when I purchased some grille lights in the past the company gave me a wiring diagram on what fuse to use when connecting them so they turn on and off with the truck. I’m not sure where else you could do it but I would imagine anything spliced to the drls, headlights should work just fine.

I have a Refreshed 2022 Silverado 1500 RST. I installed this recently on my truck and maybe can help someone out there who may have some questions on this install with the same truck. Firstly I installed it on the actual hood of the truck in front of the weather strip(just my preference). You cannot see the light at all from installing it in this location(tape the light itself almost dead even to slightly proud of the edge of the hood). I ran the wires through the hood and grounded it to the negative battery terminal with a crimped electrical eyelet. The positive(red/hot wire) I ran to the engine fuse panel and used a fuse tap into fuse #28 (Park Lamp Mirror/Grill) using a micro2 5 amp fuse. The light draws about 2 amps so you don't need anything above 5 amps. When installing the fuse tap(install factory fuse on the bottom then the new fuse where the wire is part is) pay attention to the way you pull out the fuse from the panel, you will want to install the new fuse tap in the same direction. The orientation does matter so the spades should all be following in the correct direction.(watch a fuse tap video if you are unclear of what I mean.) It can potentially cause electrical issues if you do not have this orientation correct even though it will "work" either way you put it in. Those of you who have this truck know that when you hit the unlock button there is factory dynamic light show with the blinkers. When using fuse #28 the led light strip WILL activate as well when you unlock the doors in-sync with the front blinkers. The dynamic LED light will NOT stay on constant with just the DRLs on during the day. When the head lights are on at night the LED light will do its automation when the truck is started and stay illuminated until you shut the truck off. Hope this helps!

1- Very interesting and looks great. But based on my own experience, I'm not sure if I like to see connecting a line to my battery. Generally, they all fail over time and you do see developing whitish eroding residue at the connecting point, battery malfunction, parasitic drainage, premature battery dead, failing in smog tests (Unexplained check engine, etc), or worst, fire hazards. 2- Very smart of you not to trust the adhesive that came with the strap. That is the place this kind of product notoriously fails! Then appreciate your gut feeling to go with the deformed package and not return it impulsively, probably like the earlier buyer. 3- Now my questions: Is this strap cut able so you can adjust it to the length of your car or location or you must buy the correct length, after measuring the area of need, precisely. And the other question: I see a beautiful center for the strap, where the display on turning on, starts, that is matching the center of your truck's width. Is this something adjustable or again, the exact center length of the strap you are getting and if so, was it marked clearly? Then do you have different modes or turn it off totally? Thanks for the shared info.
@FirefighterBuell
@FirefighterBuell Жыл бұрын
Hey I appreciate the comment!! 1. This led strip is not connected straight to the battery, it’s tapped into a fuse. I rarely will hook anything straight to the battery. 2. Thank you, I like to do things right the first time and saw clearly that the adhesive provided wouldn’t last so $10 extra wasn’t a problem for me. 3. The led strip came in a 70” size. There could possibly be other sizes but they advise not to cut it. Thankfully it was the exact size needed to fit my front end without modification. There’s no modes to change it just does the startup sequence when the truck is turned on.

Rather than duct tape, which will deteriorate, as it gets exposed to weather, why not use either heat shrink tape or marine grade heat shrink tubing (which has an adhesive and will give a waterproof seal)? They both come in black and give a professional look to an installation.

That’s a decision you’d have to make. You can even wire them to a switch if you’d like. I just had it wired to a fuse that would turn it on every time the truck was turned on.

Good Morning, I've got the lamp installed but can't seem to find a good connection point. With all the different possibilities in fuse configurations, I don't think my 2019 Ram Limited has that fuse. I've tried other fuses that didn't show hot with the truck off but the lamp comes on as soon as plugging in the double fuse tap wire. Any other suggestions?

If the pigtail won’t fit you can always do what many others do and just wrap the fuse prongs with the wire and place it in. Otherwise I’m not sure if maybe there’s smaller pigtails or maybe different shaped pigtails. Let me know what you find.

You don’t have to have it connected to a fuse. You can buy a controller and just wire it with a relay from the battery to the switch to turn it on and off when you want to. Other than that I’m not sure what other fuse you could use for what you’re trying to do.
