I put on the one without the lights. If it starts to come off I'll have to replace it with the lighted on.

 

Are those on all the time or only when the parking lights are on?

Right now it’s only with the parking lights on or when I put the fog lights on as well. You can wire to always be on if you connect to one of the yellow wires if you look back to my wiring picture. 
Just be careful about local laws if you choose always on. Though, some states require amber clearance lights for vehicles over 80 inches wide and the 2019 1500 just happens to come in at 81.2, so you should be safe.

Just put mind on my Trail Boss. People that look at it says it looks like factory installed product. The wires were a little tight. Thanks for the post on the colors of wires. That saved me some time.

Glad to hear the pics were useful. A lot of people online tell me it’s just copying the raptor, but this looks so slick coming the road when you see it lit up in person and I have come across other 19 Silverado owners who ordered one right after seeing mine.

Sorry to revive an old topic, but was thinking about ordering one and had a question. As wired into the parking lights, these will not be on at night when headlights are on? Are they too bright to run at night?

They will be on at night anytime you put your fog lights on.. Some other ways to wire them so they can be on 100% of the time... I bought my about 1 month ago and still need to install it on my 2020 TB..

How are they holding up to snow and ice ?  Water and ice cascade right down the hood, I’d think you’d get a bunch of ice underneath that thing.   I like the lights tho, was thinking of placing some in the grill till I saw this.

i know some people are adverse to more lights, but I’m all for additional visibility especially in bad weather.

See, I don’t mind the looks but AVS missed it on this one. It looks like there is plenty of room to add white lights in there as well. If they had that available as a lightbar of sorts plus the marker lights I would go for it.

    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
