RGB Rocklight Install - How Do They Compare to My DIY LED Setup?

Adding a set of AuxBeam RGB Rocklights to my Jeep, and comparing them to my DIY setup. The Auxbeam kit has multiple advantages; the install was easy and requires no wiring. The color options are a cool upgrade and give your Jeep a touch of personality. I used the RGB Remote App on my Iphone.
Rocklights: amzn.to/2ucGt5o
Extension wires: amzn.to/2JgSDyP (I did not use these but a viewer commented and said that he used them)

i know I'm kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?

[@emilyhayton8392]

Sweet upgrade. The red makes the jeep look badassssss

[@jaberry77]

I can’t wait see them out on the trails.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

They will be on pink for sure

[@gavakie]

I did a similar light. I found it easier to use self tapping screws than the bolts in the kit.

[@jamekingsly1586]

Great video! Color options are always fun to have

[@raeannesteele2623]

go team rugged. also bought these and love them they hold up to all the water and mud I put them through!

[@brittanycrews6932]

Steinjagar tube doors! I worked for them for a while 😅 drove their semi truck to jeep shows

[@meridethkey634]

Love the red 🔥

[@johnbergy5342]

Nice video, thanks for the review

[@OffroadGetaway]

So I just did this on my jeep. I mounted the controller under the center console inside the Jeep and had all the wires come out through the e-brake cable so this way I would have enough wire coming from every light to go wherever I want on the Jeep and just extended the wires from my controller to my battery

[@sambrimly4474]

Looks good!

[@timhadaway984]

You do a great job with your videos....Instead of self tapping screws you should consider rivnuts….they work awesome and come in a variety of sizes....When you install JCR rock sliders you have to use some fairly large ones, but they have small ones for this application too.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

That’s a great idea! I wouldn’t have thought of that

[@little_orange_az]

Enjoy your channel! Thank you

[@treyloughridge5448]

Another great video

[@thetouchtonsoffroad3574]

I believe they do sell extension cables if you want to mount them further away

[@brentjrush4]

It turned out well but you could have mounted the control module in the center of the Jeep this gives you 11ft from center of the vehicle which you could have done the rear bumper lights as you wanted just need to splice and shrink the wire to run power to the front . Keep up the good work nice video

[@krisg3984]

Thanks for comparison and instructions! How do you get that Jeep So Clean ??!?

[@makeyourownadventure1653]

Cool, I like the way those RGBs throw the light, colors might be cool for camping.

[@bumblejeep5676]

So cool

[@adamslosar2177]

Awesome.

[@ORGxOVERLORD]

I had some mic tuning lights on my jeep, they lasted like 2 months, I had my green led go out and one of my pods actually broke off

[@hooleygooley8892]

Thanks for the video. Just got mine and look forward to the install.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Goodluck!

[@richstarbird3672]

Enjoying your videos, Just purchased my 3rd wrangler 87 YJ, 04 Rubicon, now a 2017 Rubicon. Bought it with lift, winch and 35” tires. Looking for a few more things for it. How are the rock lights working out? Any burn out or get caught on rocks? Thanks for serving your country Navy veteran 79-85 Thanks

[@evanmartinez2536]

It might sound lame but it think it would be pretty cool inside the cab as well.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I’ve seen that and yes it does look pretty cool!

[@kylewesner24]

Sweet setup man. I just got a set of these and they work amazing. May I ask where you mounted you’re control box exactly?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Haven’t got around to it yet haha, been busy so it’s just sitting in the back of the engine bay

[@jameyslone2039]

Just wondering how the lights are holding up. Was looking at a 8 pod set for my jku.

[@hockeyfan102330]

Awesome job thank you. 2 questions. 2014 JKU. If adding extension wires, would you add 3? One for back bumper and one for each rear wheel well. Second question, you mounted the controller inside engine bay against fire wall? Thank you!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Depending on where you mount the controller is what will make you need the extensions. If you mount it in the engine bay like I did then yes you will need 3, but then again I made it work without any extensions. But with extensions it will be easier to place the lights exactly where you want them

[@doc559]

Nice job, thanks for sharing 😊✌🏆

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thank you!

[@matthewcoleman9920]

GO TEAM RUGGED!!

[@rockod8880]

What size inline fuse did you use great video

[@DaddySaysNo]

Awesome. I don’t have this kit...I am running the Lux Lights on my JKU and even though they are very bright I have found that 6 lights per side (front, rear, wheel wells, and one under each door) work well. Maybe 2 of the 6 light kits would solve your not enough cable and more side light issues. One control box on the left and one control box on the right. What’s also nice about the Lux Lights...no drilling, they’re magnetic. Makes it easier to move the light for those night repairs. Enjoy your videos!!! Keep ‘em coming.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

The lux kit is nice for sure! I didn’t need anything too fancy since I already had the white LEDs. One light under each door is a great idea on the 4 doors since the wheelbase is so long. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

[@DaddySaysNo]

I’m waiting for your dual kit 12 light install video. Hahaa... Love your Jeep and the vids!!!

[@TScrizzle]

Recently bought my first ever JK and love it. FYI I've watched like 3 of your vids today alone. Lol Your awesome bro ФИΞLФVΞ

[@dtboice]

Could you tell me what kind of fuse you used?

[@jesus_5848]

Go team rugged!!

[@FrenchHawk878]

1). all lights combined what's the amps? I believe the s switches have a max 30 amp per switch on the base unit (I'm not sure but I think the 4x4spod is 30 amp max per switch, with 100 amp max per unit). I would want to hook this up to that and use one switch for all of them. 2). Is there a trigger option? I would want them to come on when I unlock the doors and when I want to turn them on to see something.

[@colinhowell6097]

Could I theoretically set them to the color I want and hard wire it to a switch instead of doing it through the phone?

[@kegansherman4243]

Any ideas where to order this now? Amazon says it is unavailable. Any recommendations on a different set if this one is not sold currently?

[@ala_offroad]

So you did one on each wheel well, under each rocker, and under the front. Where is the 8th one?

[@jimnicholson77]

I'm just now seeing this video. Are these still available anywhere? Your link shows it's no longer available on Amazon.

[@BunnyTJ]

Hey Ben. Where did you mount your rear light?

[@BunnyTJ]

I got a similar setup and added a rocker switch. When i turn it off and on its back to where it was before I switched it off.

[@Foilsurfboards]

I was wondering bout a rocker switch with them. He said the light stays on if you don’t turn it off in the app so if you leave it on and run it to a switch that should turn them on and off, correct?

[@BunnyTJ]

@@Foilsurfboards yes that is what im doing and when I turn mine on it returns to the previous state before switching off

[@kylewesner24]

Go Team Rugged!!!

[@james2004TxVet]

Dang it this says it is currently unavailable! I have Oracle Rock lights on my 18 JL Wrangler. I do not like them because the red bluetooth light on each one makes the lights off colored!

[@Casey250]

Love rock lights. Was thinking of getting some RGB ones installed for style. I started with 4 KC Cyclones, now I have 18 installed.. when I hit the trail its like day time lol! Good video bro!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

18??? Holy cow

[@Casey250]

LOL - ya it got out of hand. One of my to-do's is a lighting walk around video

[@jeeplaw8653]

Great vid! Can you tell me the lift and size tires you went with?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

4.5” lift, I don’t remember what size tires I had in this video. either 37s or 40s. Check out some of my recent vids and be sure to sub

[@dtboice]

What size fuse did you use?

[@damonstone3790]

Might be able to mount the controller under the dash and get the original kit cable length to reach back bumper???

[@damonstone3790]

By the way, love what you have done to your Jeep and really enjoying your videos....

[@elizabethpowers5375]

What amp fuse did you use for the online fuse holder?

[@pauldouglas6288]

They make extension for the rgb rock lights I had to get em so my 8 pce lights would fit on my 2002 Jeep grand Cherokee

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I’ll have to check that out! Wish I knew earlier haha

[@pauldouglas6288]

Just followed u on Instagram

[@johnmayes6517]

When I click on link says error when redirected. Tring to order but no luck. Do u have a differnt link?

[@ryandeasy2515]

does wiring directly to battery kill your battery? Or only when they are turned on thru the app? So if you turn off on the app, they do not kill battery?

[@cautiontext]

What if you splice and extend the wire to reach the rear?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

That would probably work, I might in the future. I just wanted to finish up this video haha. Someone pointed out to me that they sell extension wires so that is also an option

[@jeffwarren392]

Another great video! I have the KC-Hilite rgb rock lights. I haven't installed them yet. They look very similar and work the same way. Do you know if you can turn them on and off with a switch panel instead of using a phone?

[@egprods.8425]

Hey Ben, how have these held up for you? Bought a set of these about a week ago, and they worked perfect for the first 2 days and then stopped connecting to the bluetooth. I really liked them, and just assumed it might have been a problem with my particular set, so probably going to return and order a new set, but want to see if it's worth it. Thanks in advance!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

They are still working great for me, sorry to hear your having an issue

[@egprods.8425]

Awesome! Thanks! I'll see where I went wrong.

How many amps is your fuse?

[@jasonf1340]

Just watched your video. I saw some bad reviews about the app. Was wondering have you had any issues with that.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

On their website they specify the correct app to use. Most reviews are from people using the non updated app

[@cautiontext]

Where did you get the inline fuse?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Amazon, Link below, I got the pack of them since they are useful for other projects. amzn.to/2JBquTt

[@nickwitkowski8866]

Bruh..... those are sick. Wonder how insane spread I would get with 8lights on my 2dr ?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Haha on a 2 door it would probably light up the entire underneath area, would be sweet

[@releasedpsycho]

Website or materials do not clearly state, is the Computer module waterproof? I would like to put module under truck but unsure thx

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I do not think it is waterproof unless you seal it up

[@releasedpsycho]

@@JKGearandGadgets where did you place your module in the jeep, I think I missed that part

[@BunnyTJ]

Hey Man, I am assuming you put the control box in the right-hand side of your engine compartment? near your Battery?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yeah. I still need to find a way to mount it haha. It’s just chilling there

[@BunnyTJ]

@@JKGearandGadgets im looking for a more centralized spot as well.

[@reuben649]

[@billnye7968]

You don’t “need” a fuse, just better to have one right?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

It will work without a fuse. But you need a fuse lol. Just like you don’t need to tighten your lugnuts, it just sucks when things go south.

[@Sybridox]

So if they stay powered on if you disconnect the bluetooth, I guess you could run them through an sPod type panel and utilize a switch? Then be done with the phone unless you wanted to change colors?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yeah that would work, pretty much just disconnect the power to them.

[@xinarin]

If you did this, when you flipped the switch back on, would it still be on and on the "default"/last used color?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I’m honestly not sure. I would think so

[@xinarin]

This might be too much to ask... but would you be willing to give it a try? Perhaps have your lights powered on and then disconnect the wire from the battery, waiting a moment or three, reattaching to the battery and see the result? It is essentially what a switch does, right? I would appreciate it if you could take 5 minutes to try it out! Thanks for responding!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I’ll test tonight or tomorrow!

[@releasedpsycho]

For the inline fuse, would a 15a be ok so I dont have any issues?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Will most likely be fine.

[@releasedpsycho]

@@JKGearandGadgets would you recommend a different one? If I have no other switches just connecting red/black to battery I do need the inline fuse correct? Stright ran wouldnt be advised?

Awesome man. I was gonna buy the kc hilights but I like your set up better. If you don’t mind I’ll share it with our Jeep club on Facebook. If you want you can join and post yourself. I have crawl tv and autoedit as members so they can do the same. Club is Wicked Jeeps New Mexico.

Hey how is the app that you have to use to control the lights? Because I’m a little skeptical about not having a remote.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I haven’t had any issues with the app. However if you run it to a switch it will come on without the app each time power is disconnected/applie

[@JKGearandGadgets]

The app would be to just change colors

JK Gear and Gadgets thanks for replying man and great video
