DIY 4 Post Lift Custom LED Light Upgrade - Huge Improvement!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- One of the best upgrades to a 4 post lift, is the addition of some lighting. Not only does this help with visibility when you're working up under a car or truck, but it hides nicely out of the way. Best of all, there will be no more need for corded drop lights or any additional lighting.
Follow along to see how Nick put this kit together and check out the final results!
$55.17 for the channel and $29.00 worth of LED's- Less than $100 for everything needed!
The aluminum channel is here:

The LED lights are here:

I know it has been some time since you posted this video do you have any updated links especially to the aluminum channel none of them are any good anymore my lift arrives in 3 weeks I am hoping to do exactly this awesome video appreciate your time.
Since I don't see any info beyond the non-working links:
Search for "V Shape LED Aluminum Channel" to find the extrusion with cover
You may also need additional connectors for the channel. Search for "Corner Connector for V Shape LED Aluminum Channel"
The brand of the channel I'm buying is "Hunhun"
I'm going to use self-adhesive neodymium magnets to secure the channel rather than sticking tape to my lift
And the LED strips are pretty ubiquitous. I'm using two sets of Daybetter brand lights. Search for "daybetter COB LED Strip 16.4 ft White LED"
And will join the strips using connectors you can find by searching for "2-Pin 8mm COB LED Strip Gapless Connector"
Total cost including magnets: $102. Hopefully this saves someone a little time.
What a great idea!
Thanks!
Subscribed immediately. I have a four post lift and wanted to do this. so this is the first one I came upon thank you! Plus the old guy in the red hat kind of scared me so I hit the subscribe button! Ha love it! Can’t wait to check out your other vids.
Thank you for the support! We appreciate it!
GREAT IDEA, can you update your product links they are no good anymore, they don't go to anything at Amazon "product not found"
Great idea, but the links are broken. How bright are the leds and how did you connect to a power source?
Could you post a video of where it's plugged in? The links you posted above are not working.
Sure, I'll do a follow up video on this showing better detail on the lights.
Great idea man, love catching up on your videos & exciting when I see you guys work on your dads 62 impala. I got a 62 convertible also so always look forward to watching your videos.
We'll be doing an update on the 62 convertible in the coming weeks so stay tuned! Thanks for being a subscriber!
You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Levi Lance instablaster :)
@Cohen Peyton thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Cohen Peyton it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
Nice video. Both links to the lights and channel are no longer available as I figured this was 7 months ago. Any chance with providing the specific details such as the name/model of those items and also what double sided tape did you use? Also how did you secure the power supply on the lights. Thanks in advance..
Thanks for tuning in! I'll find that info for you and repost. Thanks!
thats a really nice addition to the lift! Very Jealous!
Thank you!
Can attest, its bright in person!
Rather than all the car shots at the end why not show how you got power to the lights, switches etc?
I woulda put the velcro onto the aluminum pieces first and trimmed off the excess...
(The links for your parts don't work)
Your headers sure hang down a lot.
Was just replacing some
Fluorescent lights in my garage with led and looked over at lift and said time for some led underneath lift. Your video was first thing to pop up. I would not have thought of the 45* under cabinet channels great idea
Appears we have same lift, I have tow of the jacks..any problem with the jacks hydraulic hose hitting the channels after you out the covers on ?
Thanks
Huge improvement for less than $100!
What brightness did you get ? cool 5000, cool 6500, warm, ?
Can you post a new Link to the angle?
Your links from amazon and ebay are not working.
Have new links for parts and supplies used ?
It would be nice if you put a list of the parts and where you got them.
Added links in the description. Hope that helps!
@@ClassicNation Thank you. Just ordered for my lift.
@@BB4spd Sweet! You're gonna love it!!!
@@ClassicNation Subscribed too.
@@BB4spd Thank you!!!
I have the same lift and a 65 Impala SS. We have talked before. I enjoy your videos. I'm going to do something like this to my lift. I use the plastic drip trays that came with the lift. They are light and plastic so it should not be a problem to lay them on top of or next to the LED strips. I also store the ramps in the lift, so they slide along the rail where the LED strips would sit. Do you store your ramps on the lift rails and have you had any problems with the lights? Your links are outdated, were there any key words I could use to find similar lights? I am finding a bunch of multi-color lights.
Hi Scott! Thanks for following along! You have a 65 impala SS too? Awesome! Nope, I don't store my ramps on the lift. I built a shelf and they hang from my wall out of the way, same with the casters. The lights are still working great, and the plastic drip pans don't affect them at all! I hope that helps! I'll try to track down some new links since they changed them up on me. Thanks!
@@ClassicNation yeah. we have talked a couple of time over various social media platforms. I just asked you if you were going to do a Tremec when you were looking for a 4 speed console earlier today. I have a 65 SS with a 700R4...and a 4 post lift. I have toyed with a Tremec and will be curious to see what you end up doing. My guess is that doing a conversion would probably run about $4-5K unless you can cobble it together for less than that. Are you running a 480LE now?
Neither of the two addresses would open
I did something similar but I used some aluminum rails that I bought from Lowes. I mounted the aluminum rails to the diamond plate surface using strong double sided tape. Then I mounted my LED strips to the aluminum rails. Here's a video review of my car lift that includes my LED strip lighting in case you're interested. ua-cam.com/video/vAJeDqJQ758/v-deo.html
Nice lift and lights Ozzie! Nice looking Camaro too!
