All That Light From ONE Tiny Baja Designs Dome Light ! - Lexus LX570 / LC200 Landcruiser Hatch MOD

[@RobDaman]

Our Family Truckster had dismal rear interior lighting so I decided to ramp it up with a single Baja Designs Dome Light. Check out the simple install and how freaking bright it is! Pick it up here amzn.to/3nTZOTe Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE if you haven't already Peace out!!!

Great tip wiring it to the close button. Worked a charm. Nice and clean install without having to run a lot of wiring.

[@RobDaman]

Glad it helped

Honestly, a bit of an oversight for Lexus for this vehicle which has so many awesome amenities already.

Great vid! I have a slightly different application but the reference helps!

[@DrewDayToday]

Awesome mod! I am doing it for my LX. Thanks for the great mods

[@joyridaz]

Nice and impactful first mod! Maybe I missed it, but I wonder if there’s a way for it to automatically turn on when the hatch opens?

[@RobDaman]

If you had a switchless LED or a toggle switch vs a push button like mine, it should ideally light up when open.

[@josephchan7040]

Does not work. Once the power is cut to it, it will turn off until the button is hit.

[@abhiramrajesh4620]

Does it draw a lot of power from the batteries ? Like when the vehicle is switched off. Like if it’s used during camping

[@Rob-pb8tp]

Nice Rob! Happy Wife, happy life! Great added safety aspect too for cross traffic at night. Since the light goes out when it closes, does it also come on when it opens?

[@RobDaman]

It's more a momentary switch so it turns on but doesn't stay switched on when it sees a power disconnect

[@MWDAdventures]

How hot does it get? From Baja designs website.Caution: Dome Light w/ Switch can get very hot when used for long periods of time. Please use caution when handling or installing.

[@RobDaman]

Never noticed the heat issues but the body is aluminum for heat dissipation

[@enzogaga896]

Hi Rob, any specific t-taps for this mod or any kinds would work? Thanks

[@floydavila8406]

nicely done. I have a 2011 LC200, would you know where to tap into power for a set up like yours? TIA

[@RobDaman]

Should be same place as ours.

[@bowagoner9877]

Hi Rob i see you took the shell off the Tacoma.

[@RobDaman]

The hard shell? It's been off since SEMA

[@marcryan27]

Hey Rob, what is that thing you used to tap i to the wires?

[@RobDaman]

Initially I was going to use posi tap but I didn't have the smallest gauge (red) amzn.to/3w2A5w1 So I went with traditional scotch locks amzn.to/3d9Y2J0

[@TNSlaytanic]

I have a 2011 LX570 with powered lift gate and I could not get it to work. I do not get any V to the larger red wire and 2V to the smaller red wire. Connect LED straight to battery and it works. ideas?

[@RobDaman]

does the button close your hatch?

[@TNSlaytanic]

@@RobDaman yes, everything works; dash button, remote, back handle

[@RobDaman]

That insulation is pretty thick so perhaps test your contact again.

[@TNSlaytanic]

@@RobDaman I will, thank you

[@scottshellenberger4721]

What cargo box do you have on your taco?

[@RobDaman]

Box? Tuffy kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJykZXZnabail5Y

[@scottshellenberger4721]

The one on top your rifle case.
