Thanks so much for this dude. I was a little pissed off my 24 GMC at4 didn’t have ambient lighting but this will be more than sufficient.

My refreshed 1500 AT4 CarbonPro is arriving in two weeks, cant wait! Just came across your channel last week, great videos!
Congrats. Most of my exterior and mechanical mods might inspire you to customize your AT4!
Think ima do this to my sierra thought it would look tacky but they way you did it makes it look supper clean 👍
The new escalades factory ambient lighting is a big disappointment. Cadillac should have taken some lessons from Mercedes-Benz. Your install is a big improvement. Looks great!
Thanks man
Great presentation, you’re good at explaining things💯
I appreciate that!
Your videos are great mate. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
I just bought one of the Qualcomm Octa-core car play AI Box. I will try it with my Suburban z71 2022 . Hopefully I won’t have any issues with it .Thanks for sharing this great video .
🎉 merry Christmas 🎄to you and family .
A multi-switch toggle panel would be great for this! Along with other lighting options!
I do have it running off of my 8 gang AuxBeam switch. Love the setup
Man I just bought a 2019 Sierra a couple months ago and this has been on the to-do list, just didn't know what kit to buy... Just vinyl wrapped my emblems too, inspired by your other video. Black on black baby 😎🤘... Thanks for the ideas my friend! Keep the content coming
🤙🏻
Nicely done. I like it.
Thanks
Great video. Very helpful
Glad to hear it!
Just waiting for you to install starlight 😎 would be killer 🤙🏻
🌟
Very nicely done 👍 ✅
🙏🏻
Awesome video Thanks mates 🤍👍
No problem 👍
This is a very good video.God bless 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks 😊
Looks like you have one more spot on that Auxbeam switch panel… Thoughts on a winch? Love the channel, already ordered some airbags and this ambient light kit!
I have 2 spots left. A winch is possible but I am looking at a new bumper if I do that. I would consider it is all I can say at the moment
Great video. The only thing never mentioned is that the difference between the luxury model and after market model that you can't buy after market is the light in the more expensive vehicles is the brightness or tone is set to where you can really see it at night but it is in no way disturbing to the eyes. In other words when you are driving at night you can't see them unless you are looking at them directly. There is a reason for that. After market ones like these or on Amazon are called coffee lights, or show lights. Something you don't want on while driving at night but have them on when you are at a gathering to show off the vehicle. Looks great but way to bright.
Great video and explanation of this kit. 👍..Did you end up keeping this kit in your truck? Does the controller remember or default to its last command/setting or do you have to adjust to the desired setting every time you turn them on? Thanks!
Thanks. It turns back onto the last setting. If I shut it off blue, wait a month, it will turn on blue
The amazon store says they are out of stock or something like that any other place o can get these megulla lights?
Is there a reason you didn't add strips to the dash as shown in the escalade?
This would look really nice in an older BMW or Mercedes like a CLS550 or a 5 series.
I have a tundra 2023 platinum
Looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!! What app are you using for the lights?
It comes with one to download for their product. I think its called happy light
Thanks for the video 🙂 I honestly think yours was much better than your wife's, was way more vibrant. Great work!!
Thanks for watching!
Don, any idea or thoughts on upgrading the dome lighting and/or other cabin lighting? That seems to be the one main flaw in this truck i cant find a good solution for.
2019 Sierra 1500 SLT X31
Unfortunately every light in the interior (on my trim) is comprised of integrated LEDs. I am not sure of the SLTs.
Did you change you courtesy bulbs? I have a new refresh and it’s dark inside. Very cool btw. Been following since I ordered my AT4 in November, got it last month.
No sir. Same lights in the head liner
I agree, the new refresh is not that bright inside the cab.
Chem sticks with wires? And a microphone. Excellent.
Amazing! 😂
what did you do with the red wire, i saw the green go into the switch box but you didnt show what you did with the red. ive done almost every upgrade you have. i love all of them. doing the cube lights next week. i have the same 8 gang that you recommended. i have used your promo codes quite frequently. keep the videos and upgrades coming
Thanks for the support man! The red wire (+) went into the 5 amp (+) part of the switch. The green was the negative one. There is a picture with labels on my community page for my switch wiring
Wow is nice
I wanna you do at my truck
What screen are you running in your truck? Very nice

Hi Don, how are you finding the adhesive tape on these, are they still hanging on?
No issues with the adhesive backing off yet.
A fuse tap to your dome lights works so much better.
That way it comes on when the domes are on.
I don't want it on all the time, but it is an option.
Ya it's not that easy with these new trucks. There is no fuse for dome lights. I'm reading on forums now, its a pain in the ass .
Where did you stick in at inside the vehicle?? Meaning in order for it to travel to and thru the firewall
Some thin pliable wire. A metal coat hanger can work too
Can you have them set to automatically power on when the vehicle starts? You’re powering through your switch panel so it’s hard to tell. I assume the answer is yes.
Yes, just wire it up to a ignition circuit, or if your 12v socket only comes on with the vehicle being started, put your power cord there with its switch ‘on’
@@Donslife lots of comments on Amazon about the poor quality of the tape stickiness. I'd be interested in a follow up a few weeks/months from now with your experience. Thanks for your content; first channel I come to when thinking about projects for my Sierra.
I guess we’ll see ✌🏼
@@Donslife how are these holding up?
Just like day 1 still
Sad how 2023 80k denali trucks dont have any ambient light, my 2019 40k RAM has awesome ambient light
Have you done any rock lighting videos?
I have : Rock Lights - Full Install Tutorial - GMC Sierra AT4 - 8 Pod RGB AuxBeam
ua-cam.com/video/US-4-QcpfWk/v-deo.html
It's just the ir on that wire bro no mic the mic is in the box itself on the PCB but it's still well sensitive enough to pick up low frequency doofs to react to most music as long as it's mounted not all the way back on your firewall or something it would still work just not as sensitive, I know because I ripped one apart and they are very generic internals. Not trying to be rude, just mentioned so it can be taken into account when choosing mounting location. Yours looks slightly higher quality than some the outside of it and probably a little bigger as it's a 6 light affair not the 4 light ones I've had. Thinking about doing it again actually and if I can't find one that's done already I'll be making holes where the mice sits in the case just so it even reacts to voices not just bass and the music doesn't have to be loud before it picks it up 😂
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for another great video. I would like to add ambient lighting to my AT4 as well. Instead of wiring it to a switch though, I want to wire it so that the lights go on and off automatically with the rest of interior/ dome lights. Have any idea how to do that?
I read this when you posted it. I don’t have a perfect answer yet. You could set up a relay to trigger them on and off. I think a fuse tap to a circuit that is on with the ignition is your answer.
I've been looking into this too and so far all I could find was connecting to a pin on the k9 bcm under the driver's dash. Upfitters guide will tell you which pin.
In the good ole days you could just wire tap, but now everything is through bcm's. The actual dome lights are no longer "bulbs." They're like motherboards with the light sources sodered in.
Like Don said, best option is to fuse tap or use a switch. For now anyways. I have a 23 sierra and I'm looking out for brave folks to venture into the bcm territory before I go that route too. The idea of the LEDs coming on with the domes and functioning along with the stock switch and toggle is nice. We shall see!
@@tdwnex I ended up installing 2 sets of LEDs. I wired up a set of very low wattage white LEDs that I tapped directly into dome light circuit so they come on and go off with the dome lights. I wired a 2nd set of ambient lights (they change color and flash to music) directly to my upfitter switch. I physically attached the strips of LEDs to a small piece of aluminum angle stock and then mounted the angle stock. While this method was a little more complicated for installation, it was the easiest method to accomplish what I was looking for wiring & electronics wise.
@@JebClarke902 What circuit worked for you for the dome lights?
@@JebClarke902 Thank you Jeb! That's right on track with what I was finding. Can't wait to be able to see inside my truck!
Where did you get the extra extension wire from?
Amazon I think
What kind are of wire did you use to extend it to the fuse box?
Just some common 18 or 20 gauge wire
How did you mount your light switch box
Good quality double sided tape. No screws
I understand you didn’t use it because you have the alternate switch under your hood. But if I wanted to wire interior lights directly to the dome light fuse, where would that fuse be it’s not clearly located in the owners manual.
Send me and email please! It is listed in the video description
I woulda wired it into the doors or the factory ambient lighting so it turned on when doors get unlocked
👌🏼
Love this idea
How do and where do you wire it for door??
Are you able to change the reverse light bulbs for brighter led bulbs?
Not on the higher trim versions of these taillights. They are an integrated LED.
@@Donslife thanks, need to figure out what to brighten up the back up, kinda hard to see at Times

@@Donslife nice I missed those 2 videos
Do they get hot and cause the adhesive to not stick?
Not at all. The LEDs stay cool 😎
Bought these and spent 2 hours (this past weekend) installing them and the controller box stopping working after the 3rd time of using them. Only get white lights and the control box will not do anything.....
Seems like it is a lemon. Mine is good still
@@Donslife plan on getting another set. Enjoy watching ur channel. Leaned a lot from you. Keep
up the great work!!
How did you get your switch panel to light up white. I do’t see a white switch panel on the website
This one is the RGB one. It just allowed for a pretty close representation of pure white
@@Donslife thanks Don. So the backlight color is blue? I thought you can change the colors.
The Auxbeam switch panel I have can be changed to any color for backlighting. They sell some that are 1 color only
@@Donslife got it. Thanks Donny!!!!
Hello, my name is Keith I install the lighting but the lights does not dance to the music is a seven. I’m doing wrong in the settings. I have the microphone turned all the way up, but the only time the lights does dance to the music I guess the pre-loaded music that’s on the app that’s the only time The lights dance to the music I even try to clap like you did in the video and the lighting does not dance. Could you please help
If tapping the microphone doesn’t work and make the lights respond, my guess is that the microphone is defective
You linked the 4pc kit...can't find 6pc kit?
It means the 6pc is currently sold out so the link goes to the next option
What kind of switch panel is that?
Auxbeam. AR800. Here’s the video if you want more details:

@@Donslife what all do you have wired up to yours?
My guy and his Britney Spears!!😂 oh baby baby!
One more time
Why did you install a switch if you have a remote?
Because I wanted to use a switch for power and the app for color changing. I will probably lose the remote in the crack between the seats, never to be seen again
@@Donslife ok i see..nice
Pretty sad my $100k 2023 At4 has no accent lighting yet it’s standard on pretty much every trim level of Ford, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan trucks…even my 02 Sierra had footwell and door lights
I can’t argue with that
After market ambient lights are too bright, more like a disco than providing real ambiance.
They are brighter! A person could reposition them, tint them, put them in a sleeve to diffuse them.
May I ask Why is Yours so much brighter than your wife's? It's a HUGE Difference
Because my wife’s are the built in ones from Cadillac. Mine are aftermarket and can be placed wherever I want
This just seems like too much work...and I have little electrical knowledge.
But completed work is soooooo satisfying! 😊
Much cheaper way on my channel
Okay
Your video gets very blurry a lot.
Sorry - I am pretty new to this
@@Donslife 🤣
