- People are pissed I make videos about building lights, but I won't take their money to build them lights. In this video, I invite you to hang out in my workshop, grub some BBQ and a beer, and I explain why I make these videos.
Also, if you want to get in on this beautiful opportunity to make content, promote what you're doing (even if it's not automotive related), and chose the opportunities that fit your lifestyle best, I got you covered with a free course:

And of course, if you just want to dive in and build dope lights, start here:

I watched to the end. I cant tell you how much I appreciate your help and content! I'm happy that you are doing it at home and able to enjoy it more now!
You’re the man Darren!
I'm the diy guy. I tracked down some jewel style drls off a raptor, hacked my colorado drls to bits, bought a 5 step sequential module and will be putting them together soon on my build vlog. Building something that only exists in my mind is what drives me. Appreciate the videos man.
Not only have I enjoyed your videos, but have always liked that you directly responded to my questions in a timely manner!
No pressure. Had to respond before I go to bed lol 🙏
"I watched to the end." But I watch all your videos to the end.
Thanks for the content and the learning experiences. I most appreciate the connections to others, through you.
Haha thank you bro 🙏
Bro, I love your custom headlights and taillights 😍😍keep doing the best things for us😉
You’re the best Bryan 🙏
Bravo Chris, I can say that I'll miss your full length videos, always very well done, excellent audio (good for us mostly deaf guys) and your enthusiasm charisma and passion for what you do is fantastic. The fact that you get to continue to enjoy what you do by changing revenue streams and have more time for your life and family is awesome. I have watched many of your videos and hope to apply them to my own projects in the future - daily drivers need lights and until I can afford a spare set to play with, it's off limits.
Keep on keepin on man, and thanks for the content
"I watched till the end." Great video, Thanks!
What a guy! Honest, talented ..and a big heart.
I appreciate the content you share to help people understand the work you do and the inspiration you give other DIY'ers to take on these projects with good insight and knowledge. Big thank you and cheers!
Dude dont pay them no mind , you are the most stand-up dude in the custom led lighting game and we love you bro💚💚💚💚
I watched to the end bud! It's been a long time since I got to sit down and watch one of your videos again I can say that I've learned alot from your videos got to do a project on my wife's car that you actually put on your 50k vid which was awesome! Keep on doing you man I'll be here as much as I can to help support you and what you do for all of us that are hands on! You're the man!
We are selling LEDs and modules and I have seen numerous people who appreciate Chris for over 10 years. Chris is a great influencer, Changed many people's lives for good.
💚💚💚 Appreciate you my friend! We gotta grab some Ramen or something soon!
From the first time I seen your videos I caught your vibe.....I dont like to watch much ppl on UA-cam but I can really sit down and watch and really learn what u are doing and alot of ppl keep their knowledge to themselves for what they can charge....but u show us all everything and I really like that about u .....I keep watching and I am in love with these dumb blinking lights
Haha that’s awesome dude 🙏 I REALLY hope that the changes I’m making on the channel, continue to serve and help the audience I did my best to take care of for so many years.
Watched to the end, stumbled across your channel whilst looking for videos on "daemon eyes". I love messing with electronics AND cars so custom lights will be a great way to scratch both itches at once! After watching just one video on your channel the whole daemon eye thing has been instantly demystified for me, simply put it's an etched lens with an LED. I intend to trawl through many more of your videos to learn much more. Kudos to you for taking the time to make these videos PROPERLY and put out quality content that people can actually watch and understand. It's a testament to your abilities and I wish you every success in whatever you do! Thank you!
I am working on my Rx8 lights and your videos have been a godsend, interestingly enough, the ones that benefited me the most were not related to the lights per say, but more about the soldering 😁. Keep you the good work and screw everyone else
Sweet dude, glad to hear!
Been watching you for a while and never would have thought about trying to get you to make me lights. Mostly because I'm cheap and don't want to spend $1000 on something I could learn to do myself. You have insane builds and I'm always thrilled to see you release new videos on your work. I wish I could ask you more questions about my projects when I run into problems but I end up learning more by messing up then just getting answers all the time. Thanks for the videos. Hope to see more!
Solid logic there honestly. Success is a terrible teacher, and sometimes even more so the success of others. Failure is the best teacher, and I’ve failed a crazy amount of times at a crazy amount of things lol 🤦♂️😅
Watched to the end. I really enjoy your videos, they make me curious and want to try this stuff myself. And good for you being able to do what you like and provide for your family and still have time to spend with them. Keep up the good work there are people who really appreciate it.
Watched to the end! You have one of the best how to content I've ever seen. Just found your channel recently and still going back to catch up! Keep up the great work!
Watched to the end. I seriously think that theres a business opportunity out there to do what you do for other people paying large sums of money but hey, If that isn't your goal then MORE POWER TO YA BROTHER!!! Seriously, follow your heart and do whats good for you my friend.
I got here looking for someone who can build me some lights.
Pleasant surprise I found someone who can teach me to do it myself. I call that a W.
Let’s go!!
I watched to the end. I just found your channel today; it's great. Excellent content.
You are the reason why I'm looking on eBay for Dodge charger taillight assembly so I can come back here and make some dope stuff for my car. Thank you for that. I appreciate ya!!!
I watched till the end, and let me say that I appreciate YOU so much! Thanks for all you do and for all you've shown us!
People today are entitled and unrealistic. I enjoy and take pride in doing things myself. Keep doing what you do some of us learn from your content.
I actually like the behind the scenes insight into your life. Very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Building up the courage to eventually open my lights… finally made it over to your UA-cam, watched till the end 🙌
Awesome man, did you do it yet?
@@flyryde not yet… courage is still there just need to make the time 🥂
I watched till the end. Keep doing what you’re doing dude. I’ve learned quite a bit and I’ll be applying some of this knowledge to my own project in the future.
right on, good to hear!
Watched till the end. Honestly I loved doing diy projects. Enables me to get insane obsessive results on my cars without breaking the bank. And informative channels like these are a blessing in that journey 🙏🙏
I respect it! It's not always about the money, or the exposure. Sometimes it's just about doing what you like, and teaching others. That's how we grow, and how techniques expand. Am I a little bummed? Sure. Do I have the money or space to play around with lights? No, but does this make me want to tinker with them........HELLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHH!
Sparking the imagination is a great sign that you are doing a great job doing just what you are doing. Keep it up!
Watched to the end. Nothing but respect, it's your hustle.
I’m definitely at the point where i need to pick and choose! I’m currently doing my first and hopefully LAST jewel eye retrofit.
WAY to time consuming.
Also i did watch to the end lol
Your a great person and the reason I say that is because you are teaching people your secret and your master crafts. They should understand where your coming and respect your decision
I watched till the end. You got this and you're living your dream. That's what everyone wants to do. Thank you for staying real!
You don't need to explain yourself to anyone bro. You've got me into lighting and custom builds. I suck at it....but I'm here for knowledge.
Watched till the end. Keep on learning so you can teach us all. Preciate-cha.
Appreciate you making these videos, hoping to learn how to do this myself, meaning more of the programing aspect.
I’m just here for the content because what you do is so cool 😎!!!! I do like the awesome stuff you add to the lighting systems on the cars but feel if I tried to do it I’d melt my vehicle down those years you have under your belt makes all the difference in a shit job I would do probably because of lack of confidence and the awesomeness you create with the years of knowledge you have!!!! I hope you’ll keep making the awesome content so I can see the wonderful things available out there to make lighting special on the car’s!!!! Keep up the great work and I hope to see you in the next video!!!!!!
I’ll be here dude 👊
I watched to the end bro ! Ur an inspiration to any D.I.Y kinda guy. Keep it up bro . U do u
Bra you do you!!!! You are a pioneer in the creative lighting industry!!! It's always been the individuals choice(you) if you even want to bless another individual with a creative piece of art!!!!
I’ve been blessed to be able to be in this position, from awesome (and massively patient) patrons over the years. Getting to share what I’ve learned is just paying it forward.
Watched till the end and honestly i wish i could do the same instead of dealing with customers (im a mechanic working with my dad at our shop) Much respect to you man, i appreciate the videos!
I watched to the end.
Saving up to get the car I want now, but it's old, and getting older, might not be any good ones around when I get the cash for it.
Anyhoo, I love the car, but not its lights.
I'm looking through your videos to get inspiration for the custom lights I at some point will have to make.
Thanks for sharing some of your knowledge :)
Your videos are great. You really motivated me to work on my lights. And I appreciate it. Thanks dude! Oh and I watched to the end 😁
I watched till the end. Thank you for your knowledge and all the things you do including the mistakes that alot of people would not let you see, and most of all thank you for being you for me that is the most important part as you are down too earth and a family guy and it shows you do not have to choose between your family and work if you want to succeed.
So long as ur doing what u love my boi that is all that should matter. I mean i learned a lot from you and while I might not put it into practice knowledge is power and maybe I can help someone else down the road
I do definitely love what I do man 💚 appreciate you!
Great video! I feel the same way. Just because I can do it doesn't mean I want to do it for everyone else. -- Voodoo Ranger and the Bug assault 🤘
I actually REALLY dig the Juicy Haze. Probably my fav overall at the moment 😬
I made it to the end. I think it is important that people understand, there are plenty of people out there that can do the job. There's no reason to not look local first, and find someone that can do the work. If learning to do it isn't an option then waiting for the right person to do it is the only option.
I appreciate what you do, especially the Discord. I've already learned a lot about doing something that I really didn't want to do. To be honest, I still don't. But doing it myself is the only option. I don't have the money to pay someone to do my project.
The majority of videos out there, including yours, are working on models that are commonly modified, which have somewhat standard shapes like variations of circles or squares and usually just one piece (as opposed to two halves: outer and trunk/hatch). Many of those videos are helpful, but most of the ideas aren't compatible with my project for one reason or another. I'm having to piece together ideas from these videos and try to figure out how I can make it work for me.
I'm sure someone like you could do a killer job figuring out what would work for my project and make it awesome. But part of the problem, which you allude to in this video, is I'm the only one who cares about this project. Someone who is doing it solely for the money wouldn't be able to make it how I want because their heart isn't in it.
You stated that you like being artistic and make lights do things they weren't made to do. I challenge you to try it with 2014 - 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee tail lights. I'm not asking you to do my project. I couldn't afford that. But it would be nice if there were at least one DIY video doing this style of modification on this type of tail light.
Watched till the end and what can i say that your content is great for diy guys. For example I work with my own headlights using your video ideas and soon them come to the day light
Important to do what you love and be around Family. I really, really enjoy your content. I'm hoping to do a sequential turn light in the top of my RAV4 headlights. I think I can do it from learning what you've posted.
I always watch to the end. I love your content man.
Watched till the end 🤙💪 Keep up the great content man i watch your channel and helps me understand everything better and you also give me dope Ideas 💡
Thanks to this ive pushed my trust in myself and ive became really good and clean that now my company is throwing me money to Strobe out utility trucks!!!
Hell yeah dude! That’s awesome 🙌
I watched to the end. Your videos, your love and passion for this craft has inspired me to take on a significantly smaller and way less complex headlight project but u gotta start somewhere and I successfully took my headlight apart added switchback halo lights, honeycomb etched the turn signal lens and built my own demon eyes for a cost of 2$ and just resealed it. So thank you for showing me the light lol
Pun intended
Cheers
Watched to the end, love your video I'm super intimidated by anything automotive electrical but have been inspired to try it out any tips on where to start/practice try it out, basic equipment before I start tearing apart expensive shit
I Watch till the end dude I think you're great I'm always interested in new things myself I do this type of stuff at home I want to get into what you're doing one day as I tried to finish up my car project That's my thing but uh great content dude appreciate you
Stoked to have you watching 👊
Do what makes you happy.
That's the freedom of the American dream.
And i think its great that you help teach a craft, to help DIY'ers. It's more of an accomplishment when you do it yourself. Thanks for taking your time & helping everyone.
Always watch To the end!!!
Keep up the incredible work brother.
Definitely does make me happy, and I’m glad to do it 👍
I watched until the end, like I do with all of your videos. I stumbled across your page while looking for DIY videos. I'd like to do my own custom work and you have the best instructional videos that I've seen. I also do programable lights to music for Halloween and Christmas. I have a few videos on my channel if you'd like to see. I use xlights and I'm hoping to integrate that into my lights for my car. Tesla even has integration with their cars.
You don't have to explain yourself to anybody. You don't have to do work for any Tom, Dick or Harry just because they flash some cash. You do what makes you happy. Family always comes first in my book. I'm like you. I like to learn and create something different. I don't always do things just to chase that dollar. Keep up the awesome work!
Watched to the end. Honestly, the content to put out is more valuable. You could make more if you wanted for a paid gig to teach but it's free. If they don't like how you run YOUR business, they can look else where cause you have plenty of people that support you and understand why and how your doing this. Good luck in the future.
Thank you dude. The content definitely feels better to make than the mountain of builds I used to constantly stack on my shoulders. I’ll always have builds to work on, just not to pay the bills.
I feel that!
Keep up the good work!!
Dude, if it wasnt for your videos, i would be back at square 1 not knowing sh#t!
It was your videos that literally introduced me to Addressable leds and controllers like Blueghozt, sequencers like their Ghozt v5 and Corsomotion, as well as awesome raw leds & parts from Corsomotion, Yunique, and finally most recently the Holy Grail of them all, Hillbilly (James)'s Leds!
(Which i recently got a batch to toy with and Holy F--- they are game changing bright!)
So bro keep doing what you do, dont mind the haters, and know that there are plenty of us out there who appreciate every snippet of info you decide to share with us. Because after all, this is your livelihood and you dont owe it to anybody to reveal the tricks of your trade!
Peace dude ✌
You are doing great. I like seeing what you come up with. Keep up the content like you are. Do what you love & let the money bags go other places.
Keep on keeping on man
Hey man, You shouldn't have to put it out there as such but for every nice guy you get a Richard.
Sounds like life's good Chris hope your all well 👍
“Don’t be a Richard bro” 🤣
I watched till the end brotha
Watched to the end. Thank you for what you're doing. It's pretty cool shit !! Anyway I haven't watched all your videos yet but where are you getting the components to do these? I'm looking at doing my 17 Ram 2500 with the stock projectors. Anyway good work my man and keep it going.
I watch all your videos and mix up old ones and new ones just for reverence and see how styles change
Keep hurting them feelings brotha. 👊😜
That means you're doing it right.
Man it's funny you mentioned a body shop I work at one and yes you are spot on about people trying to get us to do wiring I don't mind my own car but for some Yahoo to have a carbq and Blair me for it no thanx lol
Lol. You do you! Love your lights you do a great job. Keep being the artist.
👍 will do bro, thank you.
Did you make bbq buffalo shrimp? Smh as I grab my keys to go to the grocery store. Saying to my self quietly I’m not greedy I’m not greedy. Lol great vid Chris.
I love you as long as you want I will watch your videos... Very curious as to how to use sequencial on my 18 wheeler success watching you learn lots good stuff THANK YOU
but.... you're not obligated to do "builds" for people that demand it, like, at all. These are great videos for insight and learning, if you ever do a build it's definitely not someone that demands it, it's someone you feel like helping out with a cool car build maybe
I watched to the end. I think your content (videos and paid courses) are more valuable to masses than 1 or 2 builds that could pay a little. The arrogance of the people that act like that aren’t worth the time of even acknowledging their message. You’re more than happy to point them in the direction of a competent builder. That’s one of the things that you say often in your videos. If they had paid a little bit of attention or watched more than one video of yours, they’d know that. Keep doing what you’re doing. Let the babies cry.
Watched until the end 🙌
Made it to the end love the videos I'd love to build my own set of lights I just don't have the time as I am an over the road truck driver and only home about 4 days a month
Come back to UA-cam 😭 this is quality content and I'm late!
Awesome info man!
I have a lot of kool ideas, just having trouble making them happen at this time. Definitely need a garage instead of a 2nd floor apartment. Lol.
Hey man I love ur videos bro. It inspire me to do these kind of stuff in the future. I wanna knw something tho...I want to try something in the near future. I'm about to get my first car ( Toyota isis ) and I want to do some major upgrades to while keeping it has original as possible. My main question tho...say u have a headlight that has a projector low beam and a reflector high , is it possible to change the projectors to a lo/high beam and wire it in a way that the lo in the projectors alone comes on on lo beam while on high beam the high in the projectors comes on with the reflectors
Yup, you can decided what arrangement you want, and wire it specific to your desire. Anything is possible.
Any cool mod suggestions or videos available for the old style 5x7 sealed beam headlights? I don't know exactly how common they were, but the old s-10 body style had them and I think jeep Cherokee maybe. I know most of your stuff is newer style but I guess like the DeLorean you work on classic stuff too
I put new 4x6 BiLED headlights x4 on the D. You can get the same ones in 5x7 👌
Brother we always watch to the end...we may get to do lights the way you do be you educate us with knowledge to at least try....You "enlighten" us😆😆😆
.Let them haters hate👍👍👍
This man is a LED legend. Enough said!
0:47 OMG I remember the web page that had instructions on this. It was being installed on a CRX hahaha you were also reading the same page lmao
Yeah man, 20 years ago
@@flyryde that is literally insane bro, glad to see we both meet up 20 years later having the exact same interest 😎
I watched to the end hoping for a food tutorial 🤣🤣🤣
Look up “Bang Bang Shrimp” 😉
End Watching club member..... 😉
Don't worry about those people. It is the same way with IT where everyone thinks just because you work on computers that you will be available or even want to fix their issues. The worst is when some people just expect you to hook them up. Time is valuable man don't ever surrender it needlessly unless it is aligned with your goals
Nice one ❤❤
Thanks man
PROPS TO YOU SIR
Top response to that 👍
Just build me lights bro..
/Sarcasm
Build all of us lights. NOW
🙉🙈🙊 😆🤣😂
Lol well played sir 👌
@@flyryde I tried building lights. Burned my housing up, and blew some fuses. Had to re wire some stuff. I've bought light from people in the past, some good, some bad. I even sold a set I build 10 years ago, dude was mad they were shit, but I said they were shit in the ad. Lol. I totally get you doing what your doing. Maad respect for helping out us wiring idiots. This is beyond me for now, eventually I'll give it a go again. I stay Mechanical. Lol
Dude I want some custom tail lights for my z31 but I’m to scared to build them solo cuz I don’t want a fire on my car. It’s a rare and unique car in my area and I want it to be that much more unique
these videos are great, sad some people dont know how to act. 😅
🙏 true story
I used to take small jobs in lights, computers, mechanics, electrical, ect ect and expect it, sad.
I watched until the end! Totally agree!
Watched till the end.
👍 good video!
LOL all these entitled people.. what a time to be alive 😂😂 Enjoy your hobby and block the negativity bud .. if it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
The end can u show some honda accord light 2003 europe
I’m sorry bro , I was number three . But I learned the error of my ways and I want to learn
👍👍
I watch to the end.
