Which is your favorite lighting upgrade? linktr.ee/donslife - Links to all of my products and discounts

[@ejsmith10]

The underhood lighting seems like a great upgrade.

I’m picking up a new Trail Boss in white in a few days. I’m returning a lease and getting the 2023.

[@Donslife]

That's exciting! Congrats

[@elkhornpetersen1894]

Really like your videos that you put out on your AT4. I have a 2020 AT4.👍

Great recap video. 👏 I've watched most of these installs. But I liked the update on some of the products. Bad or good. I liked the light under the hood and puddle lights. Thanks ✌️out.

Thanks for watching!

My favorite is the bed led I wish the bed was lit up like that

[@rubencastano6771]

I mean to put “ i wish my bed was lit up like that”

[@ejsmith10]

I did a full-on conversion to LED bulbs for everything on my '16 Colorado. The only one I regret is the bed light (on the top of the back of the cab). I chose the brightest bulb Diode Dynamics offered, and now when I use it it's like staring into the sun trying to see anything in the bed at night. I ended up with dealer installed bed lighting under the bed rails, and should just convert the bulb back to stock.

What kind of mileage u get my truck is doing horbile 10 mpg

[@Donslife]

12-13mpg with my 6.2L on 91 octane (best they have here)

[@travisgrow4713]

@@Donslife mine 5.3 L 89 octane and only getting 10 mpg I run 35s on 3 inch level and it’s killing my mpg

[@Donslife]

Makes total sense. My guess is your 35's weigh more than stock and have a wider contact patch with the road. The lift isn't helping either. The Denali version of my truck gets better mpg than mine just being 2" lower with less aggressive tires.

[@elkhornpetersen1894]

Have you thought of put a grill guard on the front. Here in Montana it's kinda a necessity with the deer along the highway.

[@Donslife]

I have thought about it. I haven’t found one that I really like.

Math always takes the fun out of things.... next time i would appreciate a NSFW warning (not safe for wallet).... 💰 🤑 💸

Hey there Don, didn't you also replace your reverse backup bulbs to LED's? I have a 2021 Tahoe High Country and swapped mine out with the LED's and I'm still getting a "check reverse light" warning, every time I use them! They are from LasFit. Take care and don't work too hard!

[@Donslife]

Thanks for watching. No, I was going to and my reverse bulbs are fully integrated LEDs. I did install some on my neighbor’s Raptor though (Lasfit)

[@Overpar73]

@@Donslife Has he had any problems with his LED's? I've heard other 21 Tahoe's are having the same issue with the reverse LED's? No resolution yet from LasFit? Someone has suggested installing some resistors but I still haven't heard of any fix yet?

[@Donslife]

I asked him about a week ago and he says they have been fine. If something changes I will come back to this reply and update

[@MikeBMW]

On my 2017 Silverado, I can raise you about $2000 (or more). I'm gonna have to post a video about it in a few weeks.

[@Donslife]

You have a 4 year head start 😝

[@251Trioxin]

Did you have to cut the bumper to fit the LED light bar? Or did you bolt it directly to the bumper?

Each to their own I guess, the only lighting upgrade I think I needed on my 2201 was the bright LED back up bulbs. The rest to me ( personally ) looks like a Christmas tree.

2201? Wow!

[@sasksleding2008]

@@TheCarCrazyGuy he’s from the future 😂

[@shanescarlife]

You need to move further south. Then you wouldn't need so much lighting. Lol!

[@Donslife]

Don’t we all! What a difference the lightbar and cubes make on the back roads

[@shanescarlife]

@@Donslife no doubt. Had to share this with a local friend who loves extra lighting as much as you do!
