I wasn't trying to bicker either - I was trying to help. SuperSierra thought it wouldn't work on adjustable pedals but it does help a little so I didn't want to see somebody with adjustable pedals skip the mod when it doesn't take any money or time to try it out. Also when I said no special writeup needed I didn't mean his video was worthless, just the opposite, I meant no special writeup was needed for the adjustable pedals. Just follow the instructions he had already posted in that video for the non-adjustable pedals.

 

I got the info to do it to my adjustable pedals from others on these forums so I agree that we all come here to get help. No harm meant to anyone. I can handle the criticism I just don't like being called names by others when I was just adding my and others experience and was civilized about it (if you read my posts I never called anybody names in fact I was the one who got called names by others).

 

I agree that we should get this thread back on track. I hope to keep getting (and giving) good advice from these forums. Hatchet buried :cheers:

Hey guys, new and just wanted to share a couple under $50 mods I did myself quick and easy. First is the light strips behind the grille ($45). For the interior I have different light strips to light the floor ($25) and did the ceiling lights as well ($6).

I wasn't sure if I wanted to white out led stripping in the cab and behind the grill but after seeing that red I think my mind is changed!!! Do you have any links or brands?

SuperSierra-thanks

CodeyD13- the grill lights are OPT7 and they have 24 colors so you can do white and red and more

The floor lights are:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000UVCK9S/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

The ceiling lights were the trickiest part. I could not find actual bulb replacements that fit, some online said they did but they were wrong. I used filters that are for photography and just put them in front of the bulb. They actually make it red and let through a ton of light I can still see everything fine. It says they are no longer in stock but I attached the link figuring you could find something similar if you wanted. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004A9PMGE/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the gels are what i also used to colour my cabin lights... but i used blue

 

they work great and i still get a lot of light in the cab at night... it's not as bright as white (of course), but i can still see lots. (and if i'm having an issue seeing i've got a little flashlight in the center console)

Man I love RGB LED's! Are the ceiling lights RGB as well?

"Rigged for Red!!!" I love it. That is on my list of mods to do.

Alexantics- sadly no, that would be the coolest thing in the world if they were. I did the ceiling lights with some colored film slipped between the bulb and light fixture. I think bc-Chris did the same.

 

RavenKeeper-it was super easy and cheap to do and it is what I get the most compliments about so you should definitely

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
