I bought same lights and was thinking to use same wiring.... glad you figured out the rest of install for me!! Looks pretty sweet!! Thanks for sharing
Definitely!
we call them snake lights out here in the desert... they light up the ground before you step out at night during rattlesnake season...
That’s actually pretty cool. I did not know this!
This is, by far, the best vid I've seen on this mod. I have the same lights and haven't been able to get them to turn on. I believe that I need to replace the fuse, but once I do, I'll follow your instructions exactly. Thank you!
Glad i could help! Thank you for the love and support!
very nice... some aftermarket rock sliders also have spots for the lights to... Peace ✌️ from SoCal
Nice job.. doing that next weekend.. thanks 👍
What’s cracking brotha. It’s me OGX. Awesome video.
Waddap waddap
Great Video ! I wish my GX470 Frame was that clean 😢 !
I like this but i will buy nylock nuts and extended length brackets.. to be able to slightly bend/aim outward. I'll have to make a harness, get a relay, and switch. Glad you at least got lucky with existing wiring ! I wish it were same here. 4Runner. Hey great looking rig !!
Awesome look!! starting my build now. ill try this Tnx bro👊
So sick bro!!! 😎
Looks real fresh 👌 thanks for sharing
That’s dope bro!!
Looks sick, I would want to add a switch maybe as an auxiliary light or something thanks for the vid!
People definitely do that! I just wanted a quick mod
Stoked to try this, surprised there’s not more out there on this topic. I bought w/ your links - hope you get a referral
Definitely helps! Appreciate the support!
that light mod is sweet lol
How does the rear of your GX sag when you load it up with gear when camping, etc? I'm looking into the same lift kit. Thanks. Maybe make a video on it with gear loaded.
I'm not sure why, but since I installed these exact rock lights, my battery was getting drained overnight. I wired it correctly and made sure there is no contact between the ground and positive wires. Any advice?
That’s very odd. Can you check them overnight and see if they’re very dim and still drawing power? If you plugged into the factory courtesy light connectors, they stop sending power after a short time as well. Any exposed wiring in contact with frame/metal on the vehicle?
Not that I can see. I'm gonna go threw it later tonight to make sure there's nothing loose/live.
@@dmitriykuzmenko2618 Did you ever find out why the lights stay dim after closing the door?
I have the same issue. After closing the door it dims and stays that way. If I lock the car, it turns completely off.
Nice!
what about if u add rock sliders? would the wires get in the way?
You can always route the wiring differently to avoid any mounting points of the sliders
Do those lights turn on with the back door opening?
so confused as to how you put the rubber piece onto the light
Same
There are two channels built into the rubber, I just ran the wire out the side channel (the longer one), then when you screw the light onto your mounting plate the screws will hold the rubber piece in place. If you're a GXOR member I can tell you how to find an example photo.
Which locking pin did you use on your Agency 6?
amzn.to/3mxMFTw
Do these lights stay on while driving? Or are they only on with the door open?
Only when door is open.
u guys still have the lx470? or is that thing sold
Sold it and got into this GX. Absolutely no regrets.
What type and size of lift do you have on your gx?
Eibach stage 2 lift. Set to max height pretty much.
You promise it doesn’t flicker in real life?
Ok maybe a very light flicker 😂
@@MJAltairy ha! I knew it. That might drive me crazy.
@@Sammy-db3xj it’s soooo little that it’s hardly noticeable, especially from a distance!
Why do y’all think that’s happening? Voltage differences between factory harness and light setups? Either way looks sick!
@@HunterB23 maybe it’s because they’re not dimmable?
