Here are some photos of it installed and before it was all hooked up. More pics of them lit up to come. Pretty easy to install. I am going to do a write up for anyone interested.

I'll probably do one of them (some brand) sooner or later, so you can be the test rat on this one. Good luck.

1st pic is with the truck running, it acts like the taillights and stays red

 

2nd pic is with truck off white lights like the reverse lights

 

This also does a blinking amber turn signal and white when you are in reverse. With the emergency lights they blink red.

At first I didn't quite understand what this was then when I see it light up I have see quite a few guys in my area with it.

 

Just wondering what made you decide to go with this?

I agree. With the number of distractions that drivers have in today's world, anything that helps get their attention to the fact that you are slowing/stopping helps. Plus it puts a whole row of red led's at or near eye level of the other drivers. I installed an Anzo light bar on mine. Similar to the Recon, but has red turn signals instead of the yellow.

That's pretty cool. It never occurred to me to install one of these but I saw an Avalanche the other day with one and I have to admit it looked pretty cool. Damn new ideas. :rolleyes::wtf:

Both

 

I used the Curt adapter to add a 4 pin adapter (see attached photos) and I hardwired the power (red wire) and reverse lights (white wire)

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
