Hey Don, is there any wind noise (whistling) at highway speeds?

[@travisgrow4713]

Just put pods on my 2017 Sierra love them

[@RG-eg3mg]

Another great video. Thank you and the camera person gets a lot of praise also. 👍🏼

[@Donslife]

Our pleasure! Thanks!

[@brentotto9592]

As always great video don. Always looking forward to the next one!

[@mtower235]

Man I appreciate this. I’ll eventually get it done on my Trail Boss. This’ll make it easy.

[@Donslife]

I wasn’t sure if I would like the look. Now I can’t imagine not having them 😂

[@mtower235]

@@Donslife I did my install today after the ice melted off. Waiting on dark to dial in now. Appreciate it

[@Juddmann007]

I can appreciate these much more on your truck rather than mine. You actually have a use for them and im sure there will be more footage to upload demonstrating that lol. They look better than some ive seen nice job

[@F7LTHY_PORSHA306]

Saw these today they look awsome !

[@Donslife]

I think they turned out alright

[@spikemaul]

Another great informative video! Keep ‘em coming.

[@Donslife]

Thanks, will do!

[@jyoung11jy]

You mentioned that the black pods have both the spot light and flood light feature built in but on Auxbeam's page you have to select one or the other. Have they changed the pods? I also didn't see a way on your setup to toggle between the two settings.

[@Donslife]

I meant you can buy a set that do one function or the other. Sorry if I didn’t make it clear.

[@jyoung11jy]

@@Donslife No worries. I'm now on to your video with the Siberia cubes. Like those a lot better!

[@jameslucas4181]

Question for ya? You’ve had both the cold air inductions intake and are running the s&b intake now, still…which do you recommend? I have a new Silverado trail boss, 2022 6.2 liter, the refresh model…overall, is one more noticeable with power gain and fuel efficiency or anything you had noticed and give a unbiased opinion….also I have the awe dual exhaust quad tips if that matters…

[@Donslife]

For a truck like that and the extra grunt, the S&B for sure. The CAI fits the personality of our Escalade 6.2 better. Both are excellent products

[@jameslucas4181]

Thanks man! Really enjoy your videos, take care….

[@shanescarlife]

I wonder if I should put these on my car.... Probably not. Great video as always, Don!

[@Donslife]

Put them in your car!

[@RussRuseicka]

Great video! One question is where can I get those mounting brackets? The ones I have I am not very happy with. You have a link?

[@Donslife]

Thanks! www.putco.com/product/luminix-custom-hood-mounting-brackets/

[@stevedemarest276]

I like these! But, disappointed that you didn't take it out into the vast wasteland (only a short trip from Saskatoon...) turn EVERYTHING and I mean everything on and give us some drone shots. I bet you could see that sucker from space.

[@Donslife]

😂 I have to leave something for people to come back for

[@dominicbaca2451]

Awesome video. Just a heads up, your link to the pod lights is wrong, also, no link to the brackets

[@Donslife]

Link fixed - thank you. Since it’s an install video for AuxBeam, I just left the bracket part number for Putco.com

[@tharv3374]

Random question but do you under coat your truck for the winter months?? Just bought the same truck as you and I live in Canada as well thinking of getting it done.

[@Donslife]

I used to but the last couple trucks I haven’t. It can’t hurt but depending on how they do it, it can get messy underneath

[@caseysathan7761]

@@Donslife as a fellow Canadian, I can't believe you don't do rust proofing! Do you wash your truck frequently?

[@RAILROADfreestyle]

“Ditch lights” nice railroad term.

[@Donslife]

Watchin’ out for those bears and moose

[@mike.Ratt5000]

Does this leave a glare in your vision while driving from the lights hitting the hood?

[@Donslife]

Not overly but it will depend on the way the beam projects from the pod-light.

[@michaelearly9938]

I wonder if you could just use the cargo light button already on the truck

[@Donslife]

You could as a trigger, yes. The lights would have to use their relay and grab power from the battery and just use your cargo circuit to tell the relay when to open and close

[@J3ffSparks]

How many amps are the lights? Did you connect to the 5amp, 10amp or larger?

[@Donslife]

5amp. They are only 20watts each (40 total) so under 4 amps

[@J3ffSparks]

@@Donslife Thank you sir thats where I went and wanted to make sure.

[@mmeyerh70]

Looks good. But they look a little low. Most of the light is getting lost on the hood.

[@Donslife]

Here is a video upgrading them to a different cube and adding some risers. I can easily turn them towards the ditch too. Upgrade Your Truck's Lighting: LED Pod DIY Guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXTLnHiBYrefi6c

[@DIYGUY-AT4]

I just hooked up my Auxbeam pod lights just like you did, option 2. I left the relay in place, twisted the red & yellow wires together and hooked them to the + terminal in my 12 gang Auxbeam switch and the black to -. Once I put the inline fuse back in the lights came on without anything on or running and I can't turn them off. Where did I go wrong?

[@Donslife]

Sounds Like you wired up right to the live (always on +) connection. Don’t combine the yellow and red. One is for the relay to get power from the battery. The other is to be connected to one of the switches to signal the relay to let the power through

[@muretoholmes6724]

Outstanding great video looks 🔥.

[@Donslife]

Thanks man

[@bigaonpoint9538]

Hey Don where can I purchase an Right OEM Tail light someone rear ended me what do you suggest instead of the dealership

[@bigaonpoint9538]

Yes I have the 2021 GMC Sierra 5.3 I was inquiring about Right Tail light

[@Donslife]

🤔 I would try Ebay or something like that. I am sure someone salvaged some of a total write-off

[@DarkenFool]

Have you come across anything in your mods/accessories including possible future purchases…. Anything that can bypass that 8 second camera timer while moving. I took my at4 off-roading and I was 1-2km above the speed requirement and it kept turning off. Extremely annoying. Should be enabled with no timer on off-road mode. In my opinion

[@Donslife]

Nothing yet. I think it is a coding thing. No hacks that I am aware of

[@aarontolliver8416]

Did you ever have a problem with the driver side wiper arm hitting the bracket?

[@Donslife]

I did with the auxbeam brackets and shaved them down a tiny bit. The new pods I installed with a spacer clear nicely

[@aarontolliver8416]

Thank you for the reply…..

[@MikelM06]

I completed this install this weekend. Thanks so much for the details. There is one question I have and I can't figure it out. I hooked it up just like you did I also have an aux beam switch and left the relays on the pod lights (your Option 2) . I removed the incline fuse while doing the electrical and then installed it back in place. When I installed the fuse the lights turned on. The truck wasn't running, Auxbeam 8 gang was off, but the cube lights were powered on. I took the inline fuse out and the lights went off. With the fuse out everything now works as it should, lights turn on and off with the Auxbeam switch. did you not show this in the video? Is there a problem with not having the inline fuse installed, why did it turn on when its wired through the switch? I'm hooked up to the first fuse that's a 5 in the Auxbeam just like you did. Thanks,

[@Donslife]

I am not sure what is contributing to the issue. But to answer your question, the auxbeam has its own fuse for each switch location so you’re protected from that front.

[@MikelM06]

@@Donslife Thanks so much for the response. I will just leave it out should be good as long as it's protected. Can't get enough of the videos. I have become good friends with the Fedex/UPS drivers lately. My wife thanks you for that ;).

@@Donslifethe switch has three wires… where did you put the third wire on your switch panel? Sorry for all the questions man. Lol

[@carllacroix590]

Hi Sir , Can you confirm me you only connect the black wire to the auxbeam panel ? You dont connect the white and yellow from the switch harness anywhere. And do you solder the black wire with a #16 wire to make a tight fit into the auxbeam panel instead of you small black wire . Thank you !

[@carllacroix590]

@Donslife

[@Donslife]

It all depends if you want to use relays that might have come with the lights. Otherwise you just connect the white to + and black to - on the auxbeam panel. You can combine both lights into one switch

[@carllacroix590]

Yes that what I want to do , use the existing relay and harness that came with the auxbeam pods . I connected the red wire that usually goes to the battery, in slot number 1 . But the pods aren’t working. I’ll connect the white and black wire into the same slot number 1 into the auxbeam panel . Correct ? Thank for your help !
