Interior lighting?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone added any interior lighting?

 

It’s awfully dark inside the cab when I’m looking for stuff at night. Don’t feel like I should need a flashlight for my truck.

 

I feel like every other tick I’ve had had nice bright lights on the door near the kicker panel and could actually illuminate the cab.

 

Just curious if anyone’s added anything like led lighting below the dash or anything?

Yes. 

 

I installed the OPT7 floor lighting kit.

The lights turn white when you open the door.

 

Easy 60 minute install.

Awesome. Just ordered the aura pro kit with bluetooth from opt7. Thanks for the heads up! Wish there was more overhears light but this’ll help for sure.

I see this has a plug and play fuse connector.  How does this work?  If I bought I would want it to activate with my dome lights. 


From what I understand you add full switched power to the main controller with an add a fuse and then use a second one for the control circuit which will act like the dome lights.

I'm one of the biggest supporters on the new T1.

Lord knows, I love my Silverado lol.

But, I certainly agree that the interior lighting could be  much better. I was actually surprised at how dim things are when you need them.

It feels like a weird fog for me. Like it's just enough light to say it's lit up, but not enough to function as illumination. lol

Yeah, my wife was trying to do her makeup in the truck on the way to a dinner the other night. It was dark outside, so she turned on the front interior lights (since GM cheaply removed the vanity lights)... they barely helped at all. She had to use her iPhone flashlight eventually. 

 

It was pretty frustrating. With all the cheap, LED lighting tech these days, they should have made the interior lighting BETTER, not worse.

Same thoughts here!!!
Just put the features in and add $50 to the MSRP. I’ll never know the difference! It’s not that tough.
