Thank you so much !! its getting there for sure slowly but Its almost at the point how I like it now )

Hi! You said you got a 2 lead at first. I was wondering what wiring harness did you get for the 1 lead? Do you have a link for it?

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Hey sure ! this was the wiring kit I think you referring to right ? they also can be found with different buttons amzn.to/3OiAGnD

Hi. Nice video and can i ask how did u mount the relay right now？ I m struggling about mountain relay and couldn't find a nice place to mount it. Thank you

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

hey ! originally I had it placed with zipties near the battery ... but now I have a 8 switch relay switch box and all my wires connected there

Wondering could you tell me what size washers you used. Thanks, I've learned a lot from your videos.

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

hey glad you find this videos helpful ! now for the washers what washers you mean ? the ones I used to lift the brackets higher or other ones ?

[@stevenshumate3430]

@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO thanks for responding. The ones that adjusted the light bar. You said in the video you cut in half I believe you said.

[@stevenshumate3430]

@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO the black plastic washers. *On the sides of the light bar.

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

@@stevenshumate3430 OOo those things Ok I believe when I cut them they were both about 1/2inch each or approximately 12mm . that was actually a TV bracket spacers that I had laying around so just cut them . Hope this helps )

[@stevenshumate3430]

@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO Thanks. hope I can get them.

The metal gear solid sound 🔥😂

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

haha ! ))) Glad you like that bit in there ))) trying to keep my videos funny

[@vickomf1]

Sorry you struggled so much. I learned a lot though. Thanks!

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

You are most welcome ! )) hope you learned from my mistakes what not to do lol ))

[@carolrulle6729]

Very helpful video. However, I have a totally unrelated question. How do you keep your engine looking so clean? Did you post a video which I missed?

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Thank you ) as to the engine no I didn't make any videos on that yet I just clean it before winter a little perhaps I could make a video on that later )

[@dp981]

Messing with those roof rack rivnuts without oversizing some new ones... I imagine you've had a leaky cabin and have now fixed the problem.

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

is that what you had to do ? put a bigger bolts in ? like bigger size or longer ?

[@ephraimsanjuan2026]

Do i need to get 40 inches or the 42 curve ?

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Honestly I think ether will work.. it will just depend on how you will place the mounting brackets

[@JPzaSniper]

Hows your battery without starting it for a week?

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

hey we had pretty cold weather with temps 16f to 40f and that small led light didn't kill the battery I still will test it more and soon there might be a 2nd led light next to it 😉

[@shakeyperspective3981]

Looks great man! What wiring harness should I order?

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Thank you very much ! what LED bar are you planning to use.. ? and I would always go with just biggest gauge wire you can get

[@shakeyperspective3981]

@@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO I'm seriously thinking about going with the same light bar that you installed on your X. I'm just not sure which wiring harness to get.???

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

@@shakeyperspective3981 You can try this one.. see if it works.. I mean it has a lot of good reviews with just a few bad ones .. and good luck ! let me know how it goes amzn.to/3GeW1Ju

[@waynebeck7801]

Can you use the amber lights mounted in the grill?

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

sure why not I use them all the time since the day I installed them )

[@waynebeck7801]

@@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO sorry I meant can you show us the amber lights mounted in the grill.

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

@@waynebeck7801 sure thing ! I have a video on how I did it here please check it out and feel free to ask any questions kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHiXfJV5iJikrtE

[@dustinjones1990]

Can you put a link to the exact light bar you bought please

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Sure thing it was 42 inch one amzn.to/3TYGvI3

[@porkchop7325]

Hey man did you ever find a solution to have the led on the switch turn off? I’m sure it doesn’t drain the battery but I would like a solution. I’m ordering the same light bar and wiring harness

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Hello thank you for watching ! well I had 2 switchs on my truck for over half of a year maybe ? and it been fine.. BUT you can simply remove red jumper wire going to pin #6 I believe and it will eliminate blue light when truck is off . Also I just finished video on new controller I just installed to remove all those switches for something better .. And goodluck on your install please come back and let me know how did it go )

[@rfcdgaf]

Never put LED bulbs in reflector housings. They glare everyone AND it's worse lighting for YOU. I wouldn't even put that in the description for the video, disservice to everyone

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Maybe you right maybe who knows.. but you know at this moment I needed better light output in my headlights.. and by putting LEDs its way better.. plus Im sure im not the only one running LEDs in there... also I dont think nor they bline people that much... people have now way brighter lights on newer cars so ...
