How to Install Atomic LED Cab Lights From Scratch

[@coffeehunter8742]

Great job Donnie. You did well with the camera angles to give the viewers an accurate look. Plenty of detail and information from start to finish. Thanks for your efforts!

[@lefthook613]

What a great idea! This is what my truck is missing! I gotta do this. Totally sick effect. And Its easier than i thought to drop a roof liner. Again thanks muchly for this tip.

[@laurijorgenson6683]

Too funny on the very end of the video. Love your creativity and humor. Beautiful job on the lighting. Love it.

[@davidrife6191]

Great video, you make it really clear and simple with your explanations. That gel your using to seal the holes would appear to be a bluing agent like you would use in gun finishing. Just oxidizes the metal to protect it.

[@erickcco1462]

Awesome job... I've been looking at these for my F250. Lovin the strobes

[@Dallas197931]

Looks good, you've inspired me to try on my new 2020 Tundra. Thanks again

[@winterskysteve]

I feel your joy in a job well done, keep up the good work m8.

[@jimmyredumis9320]

great video, I have an 02 2500 I'm about to do this to. Only difference is I may have to drill some more holes because I got lights off a Ford with the harness. Glad to see the roof has holes marking the locations

[@MadeYouLookAsshole]

Beautiful work! You're thorough!

[@cappyjpadgett]

Offshore we buy that by the gallon,its called endrust,goes on a creamy tan and dries black.

[@SmudgyContent]

I like the way you did your cab clearance lights it’s more complex then what I’m looking forward to doing 😅 but I plan to buy a simple $30 kit from harbor freight... if I can get it wired right imma opt out and get one them roof rack type set ups

[@captdrake01]

Looks good man. I wish I had the patience to put some on my truck. keep up with the good videos.

[@Gold63Beast]

Christmas in February lol. Great Video Brain. Truck looks awesome!

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks!

[@MuddyDrivewayProductions]

The end was freakin hilarious! Made my wife take a double take a double take at the monitor. Great job on the editing! This was very detailed and will help many. Aloha and stay warm

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks!

[@clayton2494]

@@briansmobile1 I hope you will see this. Im trying to choose a quality cab light set up for my 2000 Dodge ram that didnt have them originally the parts am feel pretty cheap and I've seen some bad reviews about Recon, I noticed that Atomic doesnt have lights for our generation of pickup so my guestion is are those later model lights you are installing? I found some Mopar oem kits on Amazon that are model year 2010-18 im sure i could figure out the splice id just like to know if they fit snuggly enough to the hood to prevent leakage being they arent meant for our year of trucks. Thank you for your time!

[@LZDEN]

great job Brian.....love the T-shirt as well.

[@erikdoering2920]

Great job Brian, I'm impressed, and inspired, keep on making videos and ill keep watching. Erik.

[@briansmobile1]

Erik Doering Thanks Eric!

[@spiderdad00]

Great video Brian loved it

[@terryhicks694]

Damn that looks good all finished up.

[@strongislander1235]

Those lights are awesome! Thanks for sharing the install.

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks- and you're welcome!

[@davekana8388]

U da man Brian! That's for another great how to, Dave!

[@TiaGo2k6]

Amazing video! Thanks to you I'm going to attempt this myself on my 2003 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT. Thanks again!

[@MrNisty]

How did it go? Everything go ok?

[@raysanchez9665]

I had not watched long enough to see the animals at the end. 🤣😂 Thomas is funny! lol

[@CaptainblyMe]

Liked your video out standing job !! Will be back for more !!

[@fishfood157]

Nice!! When locating the tape above, could you use a magnet from below and a ball bearing above? Looks awesome!!

[@JerryRigEverything]

Nice video man, I enjoyed it. Can any person put those lights on their truck? You spoke elsewhere in the comments about helping other people on the road. I do the same thing, (Got about 3-4 cars unstuck after they slid off the road this winter.) And having the extra lights would be nice. As long as they arent red or blue you should be ok?

[@briansmobile1]

Yes- like you said the color and the mode of use is key. Use them to pass on the freeway you're Furschitzled. Use them to create a safer condition and in the right context and you're good!

[@jksmith8077]

I love the casing sitting on you dash lol

[@Baseline66]

Brian, awesome video!! I love your set up too! Thank you for sharing your video.

[@firebirdt72002]

thanks for the video. I was thinking of doing such a thing to my burb. Now I know its above my skill set! enjoy them thanks. If your ever in Pocatello and want a 97 Viper gts to work on let me know

[@MrTRISTRAM30]

Great video man, taught me a lot (once again).

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks Lord Tris!

[@olechuga2]

Great job! Sir, will those lights, if flashing as you drive around, and especially at night, will your vehicle be an easier police target? Your vehicle looks great with those lights.

[@knunne1]

Professional job! They will see you coming now.

[@dutch971]

Would have liked to see the install of the Whelen atomic flasher module.

[@jeramiepeartpeart7994]

Thankyou my lights were switched thought I was going to have to pull the head liner glad I watched further 😅

[@dingdongdillybean]

Hey Brian. Great video as always. Curious where you got the headlights and hid? If so which company did you go with? Thx

[@clintfaulconer9816]

What did you end up doing with the wiring. Direct to parking lights or run a relay system

[@levihandlin4550]

Always pays off to watch till end it was funny

[@roelangel2008]

Nice! So where did you tap for the running/parking lights?

[@moneymike422vids]

Haha awesome light show !

[@Wild-Card]

how did you get all the lights to strobe?

[@lpsnbds]

Thanks for your video, you made things look easy. I however have a 2008 GMC 2500 and I'm really afraid to try to take the headliner out. Nothing on youtube to get me excited, I just don't want to break anything getting it out. Do you know of anywhere I can get help? Again thanks much

[@JUNIOR-mi2ei]

i have a question u didn't used a relay correct? ?? i only need to tap in to a power line???

[@user-fl7ob6cs6s]

Good morning my friend ! You did a good job and can u send me a link to buy those cab lights please !

[@dhestondh]

That ending was hilarious

[@robertwalker8964]

I did basically the same thing but added two thin rectangular lights in the top back panel for bed and strobes two in the rear bumper for backup a light bar cross the front upper windshield and a hand control spot lights each door plus 4 pods on the front bumper colors are red yellow and white Truck has tough country bumpers front and rear nerfed bars down the sides and wrapped in predator camo wrap rides on P305-70-R16 all terrain engine swap jegs crate 408 CID dodge OH it set up to pull a 24 foot gooseneck trailer transfer flow had a 46 gallon gas tank swap so that's an additional 20 gallons carried

[@rosebowl33]

do those screws work well? Have you had any leaks

[@koffalexkoff]

Do you know the exact name of the "head unit" you have in your truck? What year is your 2nd gen?

[@shadowzedge5793]

That ending though with the animals ... 🤣🤣🤣

[@jefferyedstrom2418]

I installed clearance light on my 2014 mega cab and I am having a heck of a time finding the right wire to connecting to. So that my clearance lights come on with the headlights. I thought I could connect to the light switch control but to my surprise I can completely disconnect the wire hookup and start the pickup and head lights come on. While the wire connection is disconnected. Must be a computer module set up. Any ideas? Super confused.

[@jaceinlow8980]

Where did you get your seat covers

[@davekana8388]

Where did you purchase the cab lights?

[@russkielol]

Love your videos

[@briansmobile1]

russkielol Thanks! Just got recognized by a utility worker for this vid tonight. Small world!

[@BaconRanch]

What module is required to make them flash in any sequence??

[@znovosad555]

Do you know if the fords have the holes as well?

[@me223656]

That anti rust goop looks like LPS. We use it in a spray and a brush on at work to prevent machined surfaces from rusting

[@DuramaxL5P]

The animals at the end were hilarious.

[@briansmobile1]

You saw that huh? lol

[@DuramaxL5P]

oh yeah, I always watch your videos close, sometimes I find a few surprises.

[@CMnote]

Love your videos it helps me so much with my 99 Dakota. Can you make a video explaining more about your side markers and how they are wired.

[@briansmobile1]

Yes! They're LED- even the front factory placed turn signal bulbs are. This allows you to have more lights without over loading the circuit AND so you can turn the noisy engine off and still have traffic communication/signaling. (I still have to use a custom LED flasher or my truck BCM thinks a bulb is out and signals too fast) -So you wire them the same way as the harness built in this video. You extend the front turn signal + wire down the frame to the back tire in distance (inside frame tube along or inside factory harness jacket for protection and stabilize from chafing etc.) That causes them to work with turn signals/hazards, but not brake lights. The ground is built into the housing of the LED marker lights and is acquired locally.

[@CMnote]

When I get some money I will try this. I will try and film it and post it. Keep up the good work. Do you have a parts list for your lights?

[@CaptiveBredSnakes]

Look at you with the extra fancy intro graphic!

[@briansmobile1]

I'm stepping my game up for the Sunday videos. ; )

[@BigGuyReview]

nice work!

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks!

[@mechadrake]

the goop looks like some rust inhibitor (i used some that make steel black), but it is not washable thing after, so I'm at a loss. Probably rust inhibitor mixed with something waxy.

[@JaseCJay]

I thoroughly enjoyed this project on my last f150 can't wait to get them over to my current f150! I put 4 halo. floods on my Baha bar..spst switch to 2 - 25A fused relays to 2 - 65W floods and 2 - 55W floods..my bar being grounded with 4 self tapping screws...one screw was sizzling while two 65W and only one 55W floodlight were lit! My question is why is the screw sizzling? Thanks for all the hard work on here! I've learned a ton!!

[@briansmobile1]

It may be that the ground current is insufficient. If you have too much resistance on any part of the circuit you will get heat. To help the amp flow- use a heavier gauge wire, or a larger bolt to ground or ground terminal (at battery) to chassis.

[@jetstream281]

Great job! The truck lights look amazing. What type of lights did you use for the rear window interior? I'm driving a Dodge Dakota and I am looking for some lights to work in conjunction with my rear signal lights (I find the regular rear signal lights are not visible enough), and also to work as emergency strobes like you have.

[@briansmobile1]

+Zoltan They're gen 3, and 3 LED exterior mount types. The company name was 3LED. I can't find them anywhere anymore. This is the closest I could find → www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9JI1XY/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00B9JI1XY&linkCode=as2&tag=httpwwwyou00f-20&linkId=WR273N6EZWWHJKKK

[@jetstream281]

Thank you. I looked up the link you posted. They look good. Any suggestions for the interior lights (rear window)?

[@anthonyredman4621]

Do you by any chance know how to rest the over head consel

[@robertdavis6708]

Thinking the vaseline rust preventer is a form of POR 15. I've seen it for sale on Eastwood's website.

[@danekeeper1]

well done...more involved than I had imagined though. Disco Dodge..hahahahah

[@jeffmcne513]

how long did it actually take you to install the cab lights

[@sebastianvettel115]

Can you do another one on how you did the wiring please.

[@1208ink]

I don't know what the stuff is called but it's blueing the steel. Pretty much the same a gun blueing

[@ramfrancisuk]

Very nice job :)

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks!

[@Valde3333]

Its rust converter. It converts rust (and steel) to black and stops it from rusting.

[@DrZale]

Didn't have any lights before... BUT BOY it has lights now! WOO I'm on FIIRE! Haha that got me. Awesome truck man, and thanks for the guide! p.s. While typing i made it to the extra bit at the end, hahahahaha.

[@Jarhead64]

For these cab lights, are they just brand specific to dodge then? Where did you get them, if I may ask? Great video man!

[@briansmobile1]

They can be installed on most anything, but they make factory type matches for Dodge, Ford, and Chevy vehicles. Check them out! Google Atomic LED cab lights.

[@JB-mf1zc]

Mighty fine!

[@dylanzuk615]

what year is your truck?

[@wachout27]

What do u do far a switch

[@RobsPackanShine]

nice video

[@ThelwelJ]

The animals at the end, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@erwinramnandanlall6217]

nice video great job

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks Erwin. I cut this down from 1:20:00 and even made the music with the new Mac software.

[@dirtfit290]

brain I 'll out light you thanks to you..... p.s. love the very very very ending when we meet all your friends lmfao

[@Tyguyborgerding]

What are you using for a controller to get your lights to flash and stuff? I would like to do that to my truck

[@ireviewapple4you]

+Tyler “Dirtboy97” Borgerding It's just a Whelen flasher. You can go to their website and find it.

[@rockymontana1]

On your ground wire,don't you think it would have been a lot easier to use the blue wire connectors where they have one wire in a straight line and the light ground on the side of the same clip?You can use the same clips for power too.I've done this install almost a dozen times and worked like a champ.These are the clips you use to press the metal clip inside the plastic,you don't get lose wire or bad grounds.You could have saved an hour or more.and only for a couple dollars.

[@hondaveetc82]

That was anice clean install thanks for the video

[@briansmobile1]

welcome!

[@samdonnici9618]

Where did you find those adapters for the wires from the lights

[@briansmobile1]

The light sockets came from Mazda 3's at the wrecking yard. Front marker light sockets.

[@MusherDeeds]

figure out what that stuff is yet that prevents the rust?? I would use it all the time..

[@Effay513]

I love your endings!! LMAO

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks!

[@TheRussellComer]

Nice job, and I believe most people can do this with a touch of warning not to fold their liner and stay away from Alex. The wiring (unit used, and what wire where so it does this and that kinda thing) methods of stripping and heat shrink should make it out okay. Another concern was the voltage, did you relay or wire hot straight from the battery or fuse box. I guess I'm trying to dumb things down, or maybe everybody gets it and I'm just too critical. My feet hurt.

[@briansmobile1]

lol. I ran the power on the RL circuit so It's protected and I didn't have to go through the firewall.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Nicely done.

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks!

[@anthonysanchez3741]

Nice I want to this to my truck

[@dakotapoirier5542]

this is a 01 dodge ram 1500 correct?

[@mattkoser]

Little tip. Cut the bottom off a dixie cup and punch the drill bit through the bottom. The little cup will catch the shavings and you won't have the mess to clean up.

[@dutch971]

Punch your drill bit through the bottom of the cut off cup, then drill your hole with the bottom of the cup on your drill. Good tip!

[@pyro8818ak47]

Hey brian, I got a sweet idea for keeping metal shavings collected.. Get a paper plate or a chili cup put the drill bit through the centre when you drill all the junk lands on the plate and you dump it

[@briansmobile1]

Not a bad idea there!

[@crotty1234]

yeah, stacy david on GEARS did something similiar with a disposable cup, like a red solo cup. but u just cut so much off the top and use whatever size bit ur gonna use to make a whole in the bottom of the cup to catch the metal

[@pyro8818ak47]

amanda c thats funny i watch his show and i never saw that lol, i thought of it when i was making brake and fuel line mounts and i didnt want shavings in my eyes or on my stomach lol

[@moneymike422vids]

That rust preventing stuff .... Is it guaranteed rusted proof?? Is like repainting the metal?

[@briansmobile1]

It's not paint at all. When newer cars are made they are dip in a chemical bath that alters the chemistry of the steel to prevent corrosion. This is a similar type of treatment. Check out this video at 19:09 Dodge Challenger Where a Dodge Challenger body is dipped in a Zinc Phosphate solution.

[@menick595]

Haha did the same exact thing on my friends 96 even had the same ideas as you only difference is his doesn't have back doors so the head liner was in the way the whole time

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

It looks like a gelled. Osfo type product . sort of a rust converter .

[@MrEdsster]

Lol thanks for sharing.

*OMG I TOTALLY LOST IT @ **27:01* That is the derpiest piece of taxidermy I have ever seen.

[@briansmobile1]

Glad you liked it!

[@gobloit4473]

Why don't ya get a control panel from whelean?

[@ejjimenez3753]

hi I am very interested you in all your videos I have to say you are a good I just got a question where I can find a good wiring diagram to make my cat lights flash with a flasher Whelen ULF 44 the one that came in the box didn't help me that much I want to do mine like yours in my Chevy

[@dutch971]

First thing you've got to do is take a grammar class pronto!!

[@MarkfromNewYork]

That has to be some of the worst taxidermy i have ever seen. Its ridiculous.

[@bmccarthy9269]

probably the goop to stop it from leaking or electric grease
