Step-By-Step LED Installation | Tail, Turn, Brake Lights

In this video we give you step-by-step instructions on how-to install your Boogey Lights "Tail, Turn, Brake Heavy Duty light kit" on any Semi Truck!
Here, we're installing them on a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia. But it's important to note that this kit will be installed almost the EXACT same way (minus a step or two) on any over-the-road semi truck out there today!

I want this so bad

[@amneziaxeaster-gaming382]

I really like your channel, and I would like to see how you tape and loom your wiring harness! Like how you tape and loom 3 splice of wire??

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

Thank you! We'll have to upload something like that in the future. For 3 wires spliced together - we generally tape up all the crimp on connectors first. Next, wrap them all together in 1/2'' wire loom and leave a little extra off the end to fold over on top of itself and tape everything again. Hope that helps!

Neat

[@rajSingh-yq5hg]

how much for peterbilt579?

[@imdbtruth]

I'm using Gebe relays with the diode built-into them, will that work, or should I also add diodes to the trigger wires before they hit the relays? Thanks

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

We use 3 relays within our tail-turn-brake package. Here's a link for our installation manual: www.boogeylights.net/?wpdmdl=1085 (relays on page 12). Also a link for the relays we use: www.boogeylights.com/heavy-duty-12vdc-40-30-amp-relay/ - Give our technical support a call: 800 847 1359 (M-F 9am-6pm ET Sa 10am-3pm ET)

@BoogeyLightsLEDs Thank you so much for the response! I looked at page 12 of your manual, but I'm still unsure about whether or not the diodes in my relays are sufficient? As I understand it, the diode is usually there to make sure that the current can't flow back in the wrong direction, is that correct? However in the video at 4:36, I also heard that two diodes were used in order to increase the brightness of the brake and turn signal lights, but only one diode for the marker lights because you didn't want them as bright... I don't have the need to increase or reduce the brightness of any of the brake or turn functions in my setup, so in that case do you think the single diode placed in the relays will sufficiently serve the same purpose to protect the lights/circuit? Is my interpretation of what the diodes are used for correct? And do you sell the diodes used in the video on your website? Thanks again for your time!

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

@@imdbtruth The 'diode' referenced in our docs/video is a LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED). It's what creates the light you see. Each Boogey Lights LED chip can have anywhere from 3 to 5 diodes depending on configuration which makes them ideal for tail-turn-brake (+ reverse light) applications on motor vehicles. The 'diode' you're referring to is a barrier, protection or blocking diode (sometimes referred to as a rectifier diode). It allows current to flow in only one direction. They're typically used in electrical circuits to suppress high voltage spikes created when the relay's coil is de-energized. As for the relay itself, our tail-turn-brake lighting systems do not require a relay with a blocking diode although many 5 pin automotive relays made today have them built in. Relays with blocking diodes are typically used with high amperage applications where the relay is controlling the flow of power to devices such as an audio amplifier, sub-woofer or high amperage light bar where the vehicle's ECU triggers the relay to turn on/off the power flowing to those systems. If you're working on a lighting integration project using Boogey Lights products, give our technicians a call at 800.847.1359 M-F, 9-6 pm eastern and we'll be happy to assist you. If you're working on a project unrelated to our products, we suggest contacting the manufacturer of those products directly or consulting with a qualified electrical engineer who can assist you locally.

@@BoogeyLightsLEDs Wow! I'm thoroughly impressed by your response! Now I understand! I really can't thank you enough for taking the time to explain it! I'm a new subscriber, but I'm already a big fan of the channel! Can't wait to see what's next for you guys! Thanks again so much! Have a great day!

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

@@imdbtruthno problem at all - we appreciate the interest! Enjoy!!

Do you also sell the angles? Or where can we get those

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

Yes, we offer the plastic L channel here: www.boogeylights.com/plastic-l-channel/

[@johnnyg8391]

That’s a whole lot of wires

How much it’s cost Evrithing to update to Volvo 780 ?

do you have something for volvo

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

yes, sir! Here's a link for our Volvo Kit: www.boogeylights.com/volvo-vnl-led-accent-light-kit/ - give us a call: 800 847 1359 (M-F 9am-5pm ET)

[@martintorres7480]

Thank you for the video. Now, can someone PLEASE fix the American flag. The stars go on the top left. Thank U.

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

Much appreciated! Since recording of this video; we've upgraded our flag AND mounted correctly!

[@porttrucker]

You skip a lot of the points of connection to the relays that's really the most important part of the install the other stuff is pretty basic if you don't know how a relay works and where to connect ground power and switch then it can be confusing and difficult for most diy'rs seems misleading

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

We find wiring diagrams most helpful when installing relays but we'll try to focus more on them in our next videos. Thanks for stopping by!

[@imdbtruth]

I agree to an extent... I was with him up until he talked about the diodes... That's part I would need explained. Boogey Lights can you tell me more about how and why I should use diodes in my underglow project? I want to do it right like you!

[@jewtubetruckers]

Do you make these for 2024 t680 kw

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

we don't currently have a pre-made kit for the tail-turn-brake package on a t680; but certainly can design one with measurements. Give us a call: 800 847 1359 (M-F 9am-6pm ET Sa 10am-3pm ET) or stop by our Florence, KY shop: www.boogeylights.com/contact-us/

[@jewtubetruckers]

@@BoogeyLightsLEDs ok will do I bought the other kits for my truck already

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

@@jewtubetruckers nice!! We appreciate the business and continued interest!

[@jewtubetruckers]

@BoogeyLightsLEDs no problem guys keep up the great work.i will call you for the measurement and what else I need install those tail lights with.

[@killnconquer2645]

How much?

[@BoogeyLightsLEDs]

Our tail-turn-brake package is $469.99 (www.boogeylights.com/freightliner-cascadia-led-accent-light-kit/) and would require 2-3 hours installation at our Florence, KY shop: www.boogeylights.com/contact-us/
