I see harnessdr has wiring kits/lights to add footwell lighting to my 2018 but im confused as which is what. I want bright lights to come on with the dome light but be totally dark when driving.

Do i need to buy the ambient light harnesses:

or do i need the courtesy lights?

thanks in advance!

I am also interested. I saw in the forums some may have already done this, but there was an issue with flickering when done wrong. I want to add it to a 2017. The dome light they use with a sunroof sucks. I also want yo add it for the back. I figure probably mounted on the under seat storage box.

This is Phil from HarnessDR.

 

The Ambient LED light is a very soft light. It is similar to the light that is always on at night in the overhead console. I found that SUVs use this same light for their footwells and such, created this harness to add that same style to the trucks. 
 

I assume toj want it bright? So that you can light up the floors when you open the doors, or turn on the dome lamps? If so, maybe consider the these?

These lights will be similar to the dome lamps which output brighter than the ambient led light. These are the same lights you see inside the full center console. 
 

Also note, the LED Ambient Light harness doesn’t come with the light but the Courtesy Lamp does come with the light and harness. 
 

Hope this helps. 
 

Happy New Year!

Phil, can you tell me where you wired your courtesy lights in to and the pin outs for that clean "oem" look? When i did my led door handles, your pin out locations and additional hardware you used was super clean and "factory" after watching you youtube video. I would like to follow the same wiring technique with the courtesy lighting as well. Thanks for always being a great help

Thank you phil! I just placed my order. 

 

Do you have a write up on how to wire them to the dome light circuit on a 2018 silverado? Also any tips on where/how to mount them on a truck without a center console?

Currently, I'm using @pgamboa's Aux Switch Pre-Terminated Leads

to turn on under dash lights and rear seat lights as well as my dash cam, radar detector and under hood light.
 

I would love to find a way to have the under seat and under dash lights turn on when I open the door or manually put the interior lights on.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
