[@fixitdanner]

Another great video. I put lights in my grill and it pulls all the lights together.

[@Sebasdb99]

Awesome videos! Very helpful Started by looking at the video of the switch panel because I got the same for a 2022 AT4 3L Diesel… you have given me lots off good ideal for my truck Thanks for the videos

[@Donslife]

Happy to help my friend!

[@Vishal-rz6qr]

The amber light in the grill will look good I have it on

[@vip_supercars3652]

You should get the new refresh Sierra

[@welding2go]

I enjoy watching your videos!

[@willieveasy4593]

Thanks!

[@Donslife]

You bet!

[@stevedemarest276]

That looks great. If possible could we get a look at the light it throws - assuming there's a noticeable difference with and without. Thanks for the vid.

[@hdetmechanicd4911]

I too would like to see the beam this product produces.

[@4961Studebaker]

Man your lucky no front license plate is needed. Keeps the front clean and that area free for mods. I’m thinking the refreshed can handle some 6-8” slim lights up in the new grille.

[@Donslife]

Good call!

[@_____mh]

Just a heads almost a year later but the siberia strands model number in the description is wrong it's 809181 not 908181. I figured it out though thanks for content!

[@Donslife]

Thanks! The link was right but the description title was incorrect 🙏🏻

[@_____mh]

Hey I just got my new diesel version of the lower valance grille today for my light bar project, curious did you ever consider the curved strands siberia 22? The subtle curve seems like it would match up nicely but wondering if the mounting point would be affected.

[@Donslife]

I did but chickened out since I knew the RC looked good and it was flat. For me I can rarely see these mods in person before making a decision, so I sometimes play it safe

[@_____mh]

I know, we're grateful you're the sacrificial lamb on these projects before we commit to them! I came back to this video to see where you mounted because the curved one would be slightly shorter length overall and not sure if it would reach so I'll prob chicken out myself and go straight.

[@PelonDeArizona]

if you had the silverado with the custom front, I would say add the grill amber lights. since you don't have that and already have glow emblem, I say you dont add it.

[@brettdiggitty]

Is there a way to wire the light bar the the 8 gang panel and also have it come on with the high beams?

[@Donslife]

There certainly is. One way involves wire taps, a relay and a diode. A car audio install shop or vehicle modification shop should be able to do it.

[@andrewlally4645]

Is there a video showing your switch set-up? Thanks!

[@quintano20]

I was just wondering how did you install the DRL amber lights. I do have the 42 inch version of this and trying to figure out if I can just attach the amber DRL lights to the fuse box. I like the DRL light to auto turn on when I start my truck.

[@Donslife]

Run a fuse tap to the DRL fuse or tap the DRL wire with the Amber wire for the light bar.

[@quintano20]

@@Donslife Thanks for the quick reply, I was thinking that too, did you just straight up connect the main led bar wire to the auxbeam switch panel? I do have the auxbeam 8 switch panel, and planning to connect it the 30 amp connector on the auxbeam.

[@HavenMelton]

Do you have a video showing the installation of the underbody lights?

[@Donslife]

You bet I do! Everything done to this truck is in my AT4 playlist. Rock Lights - Full Install Tutorial - GMC Sierra AT4 - 8 Pod AuxBeam kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4SQZWCHmNWZjc0

[@JoshuaEwing]

Don, Great Video! How's the light been holding up? Any condensation build up? Do you feel like the premium price is still warranted?

[@Donslife]

This light bar is perfect 👍 no issues

[@mattyman6176]

Do you know if you can put that light bar on the 3.0 diesel. Really like the look of the new one. Good job as always.

[@Donslife]

Technically it might, but you’d be blocking the airflow to the intercooler. In the Rough Country light bar install I explain I replaced my flat front panel with the 3.0 diesel one since the cut out is perfect for a light bar

[@hugohernandez8355]

Hey Don, great video. I was wondering how you connected the DRL to function separately from the actual light. Thanks

[@Donslife]

The light bar has 3 leads. One for white DRL, Amber DRL and the Main Light. The harness has a switch and relays to select each light independently. I chopped of the switch and ran it to my auxbeam panel.

[@renatoegas5200]

@Donslife What did you do for the negative for all of them…Did you add a negative for the leads you ran to the separate aux beam ports

[@caseysathan]

Do you think running the amber or white drl at night will cause issues with blinding other driver's?

[@Donslife]

Not in the slightest. The DRLs are no brighter than the factory headlight DRLs

[@hdetmechanicd4911]

Can you provide the gm part number for that black glossy valence that you install at 18 seconds into your video thanks.

[@hdetmechanicd4911]

I found the part number in your first video of the light bar install, anyone else looking for it. Its in the description for of the rough country light bar install.

[@1badh1]

Great video! I recently purchased a refreshed GMC 1500 Diesel, do you think that I would have any issues mounting a light bar on the lower grill?

[@Donslife]

Thanks. Not sure about the refresh and the fact that it is diesel, you have a cooler in the way I think

[@JimmyGreen9]

Hello Don, thanks for the detailed videos! Do you notice a light output boost with the Siberia over the Rough Country? I had a 20" rough country years ago on a previous vehicle but I'm looking for something brighter on my AT4

[@Donslife]

Not really. They seems pretty similar bit the look of the Siberia one looks really good off too 😂

[@JimmyGreen9]

@@Donslife Thanks for the reply! Are you happy with the mounting location, or would you look to mount it higher (more grill/headlight height) to increase ditch viability? A big fan of your vids, and as a fellow Canadian it's nice to see your mods/reviews and how they handle the salt/snow/-40 temps!

It's would be nice to be able to convert lights on the mirrors to amber running lights

[@Donslife]

True

[@fabiancardoza9211]

@@Donslife u think it's possible to find a led light to replace the clear one?

[@Donslife]

Maybe eventually

[@davidhackett2922]

You can buy smoked aftermarket mirror lights that are dimmer than the OEM lights on Ebay. They are white though, no amber option for now. I have them wired up to run with my low beams.

[@Donslife]

Yes, I have seen those too

[@georgegarcia4805]

Hi Don, is each DRL on it’s own switch? Or If I dont have/use the aux beam would each drl require it’s own relay that runs to is own switch in the can? Essentially using 3 relays, one for the actual beam and then one for each drl color. Sorry I’m trying to be really clear but I don’t know if I was. Thanks

[@Donslife]

The way I have it is each DRL and the main flood on it’s own switch using the relays that are built into the auxbeam switch panel. When you go to purchase a strands light bar, they offer the proper harness/s as an add on with the relays and switches. I have another video with some cube lights from the same company that demonstrates an install with the optional harnesses. I will link it here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXTLnHiBYrefi6c

[@Tanner8585]

What are your thoughts on yellowish lens fog lights you see on tundras? I’m thinkin of changing my fog lights out for that in my 2018 gmc 1500

[@Donslife]

I think they can look good. For my truck I think yellow tint is the only option right now. At least I haven’t seem yellow replacement lenses anywhere

[@Hugeness]

HeyDon, do you have a link for the harness that you ordered separately? Thanks!

[@Donslife]

Here is the link to the Strand Light Bar and the Harness options are listed at the bottom of the page.

[@CraigLewis]

Waiting on my Denali Ultimate. Where can I get the lighted GMC badge?

[@Donslife]

From the GMC parts department. Ask for the GMC Illuminated emblem in Red or Black letters

[@jacklaporte472]

Nice install Don! How much did it improve your night time visibility?

[@Donslife]

Compared to the first light bar they are similar in output. There is a noticeable increase in light's flooding the area in front of the truck compared to the factory headlights (High and Low) which are also very good. Overall it improves nighttime visibility but it is only half the size of a the big 42" light bars.

[@jacklaporte472]

@@Donslife that’s good to know. I guess I’ll be sourcing one out LOL.

[@lindad.8412]

I have a 2021 gmc 2500 at4 with tye 6.6 diesel engine. In your opinion do you think the 32" curved model would work behind my grill?

[@Donslife]

Maybe, but it would have to be slim. Take a look at how much room you have in front of the shutters that need to open and close in front of your radiator

[@lindad.8412]

@@Donslife thanks for the quick reply. I was worried about the same thing as well. Haven't really seen to many videos other than where mount thenb up on the roof witch I don't really like the of..

[@gk9417]

I noticed that Baja Design light bars have where you can install a light bar on bumper just under the grill on the 2500 21 gmc trucks ✌️

[@ericrichards6382]

Is the bumper insert off a 3/4 ton, or did you cut the oem one?

[@Donslife]

It is the 1500 Diesel insert used for the 3.0 Duramax. Bolts right in to replace the original cover on the gas variants. Rough Country LED Light Bar Custom Mounting & Installation - 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 GMC Sierra kzbin.info/www/bejne/jamyhKBmlt-bock

[@donearl6675]

😎😍

[@carvdecarv]

Don't add the amber grill lights. This is way classier and more than enough. You already have the lit GMC logo. My 0.02, but it's your truck.

[@MHConstruction_MN]

Please don't put the marker lights in the grille, way over done. You have the nice glowing GMC emblem which is all you need.

[@automotiveandmore]

I think your starting to cross the line and overdue it with the lights. At a certain points it starts getting cheesy and looking more like a Christmas tree at night.

[@Donslife]

Fair comment. I don’t drive it around like this either
