Some of the kits just use double sided tape. For my set up I mounted the lights on a pieces of cut aluminum trim (long 90 degree piece)  and then used small panel clamps (tighten with nuts) to clamp it onto the grill. No holes drilled and has held on for quite some time now.

Just got mine done. No drilling or cutting required. Hooked them up to the trailer fuse #15 in the X50a fuse box with an add a circuit. Very happy!

That looks awesome Tech510. I’m always trying to do a Close Encounters of the Third Kind with my vehicles. My camaro had grille, trunk and footwell lights. There’s a lot you can do with a truck. On my

They are wired into the parking lights, so anytime they are on then all the led’s are on as well. The light bar itself is wired into the fog light switch. But the orange backlighting is also tied into the parking lights like I said, the picture that they posted earlier in the thread was with the truck remote started, which is my favorite part. I’ve started it in a parking lot coming out of the movies and I love seeing people’s reactions because the lights are so hidden they don’t expect it

What color is the parking light wire in the headlight assembly?

Not sure if it matters between projectors/halogen but mine are projectors and my parking light wire was purple

I have the halogen lights and honestly I haven’t had a chance to look at my headlight wiring harness since it has rained for 5 days straight. I will try and look when the sky’s clear. Thanks bud!

No problem buddy! If all else fails just do an “add a fuse” in the fuse box with the parking light fuse!

That was going to be my next option. I ordered some of the Opt7 switchback directional under cab running/blinkers with door assist accent lights also, so I need to figure out the colors of the wires anyway. There seems to be no threads on wire colors where the wiring harness plugs into the headlight. If all else fails will have to go buy another test light.

Took it appart and i only kept the light and applied some VHT nite-shade so they blend and are not really visible during the day. Tap them in the fuse box so they light up when the side marker do. (Fuse 29)

You think running a wire to the fuse box under the hood would be the best bet?

Looking to have mine on at all times when the vehicle is on. I think tapping into the RAP/constant power spot would power these on when the vehicle was unlocked as well?

Or I guess tapping into a constant power source through the headlight wiring would work too. Just have to find the correct wire on PGamboa’s harness for my LTZ headlights.

I get my disassembled grill back to apply Xpel on Monday. Think I’m going to do this install before I reassemble/add all of the color matched front.

Old thread I know but those of y’all who have these lights specifically in a 2016-2108 grill care to post a pic how y’all mounted them? I see some of y’all talking about using a piece of aluminum bar stock and just curious how y’all made it work?

      The Peckish Synapse

      By KARNUT · Posted

      If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
