Good video only thing I would do different is put the fuse closer to the battery.
Yes, after making the video. I did move the fuse closer to the battery.
Why?
good video well explained thanks
Thank you!
Good job...thank you
Thanks.
Can you just use 2 strips? I'm want to in stall them on a camper shell, and just run one strip down each side.
Yes, you can. As long as they are connected correctly to each other and is connected to power and one to ground.
I see you stuck them to the spray in bedliner. Have they stuck well over time?
Yes, it’s still stuck on there pretty good. I have not had issues with it peeling off yet.
@@blaimoua85 thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for the explanation. I think I purchased the same kit for my Silverado. I was hoping to tap into some of the existing wiring somewhere but it looks like everyone runs a line directly to the battery. Any regrets or changes you would have done, now that you have had it in place for a few months?
Yes, I should have locates the fuse right next to the battery. Which I did a month later.
@@blaimoua85 after some additional investigation, I was able to locate the "always on" tab on my 7 way trailer wiring harness. This goes directly to a post on the outside of my battery. I used a tap-in splice deal to get power by the hitch and it works great. Thanks again for sharing your video.
@@Nedyalss great job.
@@Nedyalss I which you can specify the cable color and more details friend
@@ericestrada1984 looks like I tapped into the red wire. There was also a diagram of sorts near the plug which specified red as going to the battery
Your lights arnt going to stick to the bed liner very long.
Can you cut the strips? I have a shortbed Colorado and these a a bit long
No, you can’t cut the strip. But I’m sure you can find the right size for your short bed. I had a short bed Tundra and was able to find the right size for it on Amazon.
@@blaimoua85 thanks for getting back to me. Actually, I was able to cut two of the three strips. There is a scissors icon every few inches where you can cut it. But one of the strips had connection wires on both ends and that piece was impossible to cut and reconnect. The other two were fine cutting it down to size for the length of my truck bed. The hardest part was tapping into my power connection for my trailer harness but even that wasn’t too hard.
Overall, the project was a success and I thank you for giving me the confidence to do it myself!
Take care!
Glad it worked out for you.
