Your tailgate is pretty expensive too. I advise one of these for some extra assurance.

I installed the after market ones. I tied them into my cargo lights. Great mod!!     Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Just as a heads up: The junction box comes with a cover for the plug that these plug into. So I made my own plug out of the cover with a couple parts from other plugs i had laying around and sealed

Got the wire from dealer for $36CAD and order led strips + connector from amazon for 10 CAD vs 60 CAD factory install (120 dealer install) --DIY win

Plus LED strip give you brighter light

(Led is still on the way)

I assume you can, and run the wire from some where else, but that is waste of your kit

How so? I want a switch in the bed, not in the cab... used everything in the kit.. Just extra wire and a separate switch

Then you just need any universal led (27 from Walmart. ca) and run the wire yourself. Different story if you have the bed light already Edited by Hengchang_Tang

Instead of going into cab all the time to turn it on I could just hit lock unlock on fob and lights would go on in box

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR ALSO!

 

My question would be "Why"? I would not wire up lights to have 2 power sources... but I don't understand the reason for power from brake lights...

So that you could light up the bed for up to 2 min (maybe longer depending on your settings) simply by hitting unlock on the key fob

 

OK two questions from reading this thread.

 

1. For a second set of lights how do you power them? Plug into the same harness by the spare tire?

 

2. For adding a second switch for the lights is there a really simple and neat way to get this accomplished too?

Searching for an answer to #2 also!

Anyone out there that can hep?

I got some aftermarket set from walmart for like 30 bucks and they worked great! i wired them to that toggle with then instead of drilling into my brand new truck i just took the plastic cap for the hauling ring slot there or whatever off and drilled a hole in it then put the toggle switch in it. It was absolutely perfect and then this way you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn the lights on while your inside the truck or something just when you get back there you flip the switch and your good to go! very happy with the results

Does this include the plug that plugs into the box under the bed?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?
