[@austinmurphy4210]

Do your drls have to work for the led strip to work ?

[@Silveradoss]

Thank u for showing how to tap in as well most vids just show them putting the lights in as if it’s all plug and play

[@TheSundaeDrive]

No problem! We found that out too lol

[@enriquegonzalez9382]

Did mines but if the head lights are on de signals wont work and just the bottom led when signaling the top wont light on

[@icxraza8815]

The lights are a simple power and ground setup, simply find a fuse under the hood that has power when the ignition is on and tap into it with an add a circuit tap, then find a good ground and the lights will turn on every time the ignition does.

[@dakotadickens3747]

I’m sure he’s just saying by the install instructions but you are correct

[@M.Miller262]

that was my exact thoughts.

[@icxraza8815]

@@M.Miller262 i used a relay for mine. I have a massive audio system so i have a relay block under the hood to turn on all the amps and just tied into there

[@westvideo]

my 2500HD LED tailights were not functioning correctly when I used the marker light circuit. Had to wire the LED halo directly.

[@Kevin_Yagoonie]

So by doing that the LED's will be on just like the factory DRL? And no splicing into a wire?

[@davidsoutdooradventuresand6799]

I bought the same exact headlights as you on my 2007 Chevy Silverado classic. I also bought the rear lights for my truck as well all LEDs I changed all the stock bulbs out for LED lights and I tell you it makes a big difference. I even changed out my fog lights to LEDs in the bottom as well. I love it it makes the truck look newer and cleaner. They're nice lights.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! Yes it as to the look a lot

[@Ssundaybikes123]

I bought the same and when the lights are on at night it looks like the dude from the water boy how do you adjust them?

[@jakedoyle-cc4cf]

@@Ssundaybikes123 There should be either an alan key or a star bit on the top by the pin that holds them in. You can use that to adjust how high the light is aimed, although im not sure on the left to right.

[@617_bricampbell]

I've got the same truck and just ordered some of those lights for a new look as my old lights are yellow foggy and pitted

[@wmkess]

I’m sure other comments mention this, but on my 2005 Silverado the DRL are off when in the park position. They are on in all other drive settings. Before going too crazy I’d recommend others stick the truck in drive and put on the parking break and verify if they are now on or off before diving into rewiring.

[@jpro112185]

Good idea and helpful comment. Probably safer just to have another person in the truck changing gears. But point well received and I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from this. Do the 06 have the same problem? I'm thinking about doing this.

[@genesloan3175]

I thought the DRL's wouldn't be on when emergency parking brake is on.

[@Legally_its_a_joke]

​@@genesloan3175 the parking brake is irrelevant, only the shifter matters

[@alexayala6720]

Thanks alot for mentioning light alignment, it was bothering me driving at night with my driver side light pointing more down that my passenger side. Problem fixed I adjusted them now thx

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! Glad it helped

[@Walrus50]

You could just wire the led lights into the blinkers and the DRL and then they are on all the time

[@DnRprodxIL]

Could you please further elaborate? Also, where do I disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shock?

[@twinkieville2256]

Daniel Kulpa disconnect the negative lead on battery.

[@zachbrown7543]

I did this and now it uses the headlight as the blinker. I tried tapping into the blinker and that side light

[@Bossmanmack]

Just tap into the drl

[@Walrus50]

@@Bossmanmack if you just tap in the drl then they are only on during the day I wired mine up to the ignition to make them stay on whenever the vehicle is on

[@elliejean7492]

Mine are coming in the mail on Thursday, so I'm super glad I found this video!

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! :)

[@44loko]

How are they??

[@seriousbeaner3059]

Hey I got them for my 04 silverado there awesome

[@dallaswiller]

So how are they 9mo later?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Here is our 1 year update kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6ixe2erpZ5rqpY

[@jacobmiller5660]

Just installed similar ones in my 06 1500 WT thanks to you! I’m new to doing all this and I was able to do this in about 30 minutes (except for the clear wrap, which came later anyway). Super big help!! 💪🏻 Those taps are gonna be regular inventory for me now! Lol

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! Glad it hear it helped. Yes those taps are a life saver for sure!

[@homegrownluv8106]

I connected my led strip to my day time running lights. They are on all the time.

[@Remington7769]

The longevity should be fine right?

[@mrjimenez11]

If you want the led strips to light up like the DRLs then you tap into the DRL wire. Also you can do the fuse box light mod to have them on all the time lights on high beam or low beam or during the day. Also they look funny with the regular halogen bulbs and led strips. I prefer led high and low beams and switch back blinkers

[@chvnse]

how do you do the fuse box light mod? please link a video

[@j.moneyfilms]

​@@chvnse its called the 6hi mod

[@roweoutdoors4009]

You sir saved me and my buddies day

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Glad we were able to help!

[@Trokero_de_Rancho]

Thanks for the video short, informative and right to the point. Gave me a really good idea on what it takes to install and the looks. Thanks

[@TheSundaeDrive]

no problem! glad it helped!

[@willphillips5621]

Just put these in. Very nice headlights fit well with my 8k leds. I wired them exactly like he did and they work with my Auto Headlights. If you got the money I recommend these. I’m not really a Projector fan but pretty sure they have these with projectors also

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Glad you like them! They have been holding up well for us

[@willphillips5621]

The Sundae Drive why doesn’t the inner lights closest to the grill light up?

[@willphillips5621]

The Sundae Drive if you come up with the wiring let me know

[@xXDorfXx]

Will Phillips this is because he is wired into the corner light. When you turn on your parking lights, this turns off the DRL circuit. In the ‘auto’ setting, the DRL bulb (inner bulb) would be the only bulb illuminated. In this video, he has the headlight switch in the parking lamp setting. The lower housing (turn signal/DRL) is designed to operate as a function of the turn signal. The upper portion (low/high beam) is designed to tap into your DRL circuit. Obviously, you can wire it any way you choose. Most of these video creators are just choosing to tap into the corner marker circuit.

[@viivcreations9161]

why do you want 8k kelvin? they are trash at visibility and you blind everyone....

[@3lferny]

You need to tap the led strips to the day time running light if u want them to be on during the day but once its dark they will not be on

[@rexs8058]

How do u delete the day time running light mine stay on in the day

[@pgg0508]

Thank you! Your tutorial was spot on, and my lights look great!

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Great to hear!

[@dylanblair1326]

All you gotta do is wire the DRLs to something that is always on when you turn on the truck Like the radio and that way they always turn on no matter what, work very well for my truck

[@napieraustin]

2:30 I am almost positive they will turn on once you put the truck in drive. Your daytime running lights turn off when you put the truck in Park.

[@terryhamilton1116]

Thank you so much for the info, have ordered lights and can feel better about installing them myself.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! :)

[@Legally_its_a_joke]

Piece of advice, if you want to see the led bars with leaving the switch in auto, put the parking brake on and put the truck in drive. The driving lights don't activate while you're in park.

[@JKZ103]

You can splice and solder the led wires to your drl wires or any other wires for that matter to make then do what you want....

[@zacharyg.mosier5607]

You could have just run a jumper wire from your positive wire you wired in for the led strip to your DRL Then you could have had them on in auto once it would go into drive and when your drl's kicked off at night and lights kicked on they would be on

[@genesloan3175]

I am so-o-o glad you did this demo of the DRL hookup and the wire taps .... I just got similar but a different brand of headlight and bumper lights, so I'm hoping there won't be moisture problems. I was guessing I would have to tap the actual OEM DRL lights much like you did with the corner 194 bulb marker lights that you did. My Silverado is an 03. I've ordered Sealight 6000 lumen head lights which are cool white light. My factory fog lights were added from an 05 Avalanche bumper and valance with the fogs after I hit a deer. Bright lights for avoiding "unauthorized deer crossings" is a necessity in Tennessee!

[@austinmurphy4210]

Why is the led strip not constantly on when I turn my headlights on they only work when I turn my blinker on

[@BuadilioHernandez]

Thanks for showing us ❤❤

[@fostersteward3838]

I have some similar lights and I wired my LED Cat Eyes up to my stock daytime running light wires and removed the stock bulbs from the bulb sockets. So now my cat eyes come on in place of my original daytime running lights.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Nice!

[@Thatjeepguy1996]

I love these and look sick as directionals too, my buddy just has his halos as solid only but I wired mine to be drl and turns lol

[@josephmarks9585]

Thanks bro this video helped me so much thank you

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@tylerladerach769]

tap into the fuse box for the driving lights and also it would look better with LED bulbs instead of the factory ones

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Led bulbs are brighter but I don't like the headaches that often come with them.

[@cristianmonsivais6499]

What is the black adapter with the white plastic called on 6:32

[@davidsoutdooradventuresand6799]

Watching from San Jose California.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Hello there! Thanks for watching!

[@bagged91s10]

Great video been thinking about changing mine but I real like the one piece headlight that I have on my 04 Silverado with I had the LEDs in mine keep up the great videos 👍

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Will do! They have held up great for us

[@swkohn1279]

The running lights on Chevys only turn on when the truck is in drive so the LEDs would probably work in auto mode

[@robertm.1129]

I was just going to write the same thing. DRLs won’t come on until truck is in gear

[@oscarlopez3217]

Hey guys need some help here, I just installed these exact lights on my truck exactly as shown in the video however my left turn signal is blinking really fast, right side is fine. Can't figure out why it's happening 😕

[@uliceshernandez7131]

Did you figure it out having the same issue

[@shadetree6981]

Would it cause any known issues to run the led wires off of the foglights? My Chev has a Western plow that takes over the headlamps when its connected, but the foglights still work independently and I would probably want the led's on when the foggers are on anyway... Thoughts?

[@kaplan1406]

During the daytime, the DRL's on my 2004 don't come on until the vehicle is put into drive.......

[@miguelc4435]

Can you just connect them to the fog lights? That way when you turn fog lights on they will come on too?

[@loganb7982]

The way I understand it is that the led lights were not on in the day time with auto but do they turn on at night with the auto?

[@santiagoberrones5862]

great video, excuse me do you know how turn on the light white next to turn signal ? o what is his function?

[@canyouputapriceonpeace]

Do you have to tap into the wires? Or is that just something you did for personal preference

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I know the backing bezel on the lower headlight is painted black, but is the lens also smoked? Your amber marker light seems very dim. Love the look though.

[@codyproctor3346]

I could get just the leds on my 2000 Silverado by pressing the button to the bottom left of the headlight switch 3 to 4 times. It dings and works. Not sure how

[@gitanopnmex]

Thanks for the info

[@TheSundaeDrive]

No problem!

[@bobbytidwell]

Great job but if you had connected to inside light instead of amber they would light up when you put it in gear..inside bulbs on these are DRL daytime Running Light's..but great step by step

[@lukeminaldi8112]

What is the white part called that came with the lights‼️ need to know bought some today and it didn't come with it‼️‼️

[@servinfades1895]

At 6:30 was that white connector peace called?

[@DavidBerryhill-c5d]

Wired it just like you said & now my message center says turn signal on & green arrows on my gauge cluster are slightly lit up. What do i do to fix that issue?

[@RCCustoms73]

Wondering how they've held up to date, or did you already have problems? Thanks!

[@TheSundaeDrive]

No issues at all so far!

[@andrewbrosseit8099]

I wish you would have shown us the light strength versus the original. I just bought a Silverado and first thing was replacing head and tail-lights. I liked the new look like you installed, but every video, including this one, never show's how bright they are versus the originals. So I ended up buying the original look instead. Just a thought.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Good point! They are plenty bright enough for sure tho

[@devinlopez5174]

Thanks I couldn’t figure out how to wire the driving lights.😂

[@robertperalta3513]

How did you turn them on at night if there connected to the daytime running lights ?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Should be tapped into your turn signal low beam as the auto feature runs them rather than the T10 side marker light.

[@jondoe4092]

I tapped into my DRL for my top light with posi taps. However only my bottom LED strip turns on and not my top one ? Any advice helps thanks.

[@carlbruschnigjr1757]

On my 2003, the driving lights are the lower inside lights. I would have just tapped into that line instead of the marker lights.

[@jacksonreid6412]

If you splice the DRL works into the regular daytime running lights, they will automatically come on in the daytime.

[@tommylogan8480]

I know how to do electrical but how should I wire them in? Like the ones I have have a black wire and a white wire. And on the factory wires it is a black and a blue one. Should I wire the black wires to the black one and the white wires to the blue one?

[@ram89572]

@@tommylogan8480 Couldn't tell you specifically which wire is which, but if you know anything about electrical then you should know how to use a multimeter so just take one and then figure out which of those wires is ground and which is hot.

[@vanessadeleon5016]

Is there any place to get that female adaptor that you plugged into the side light? The ones I ordered didn't come with it, So just wondering it's something I can purchase else where

[@FishyPhoneCam]

Hi so im 17 and I bought similar headlights off of amazon because I thought your's were badass asf and I noticed mine did not come with the same adaptive plug for the day time running lights on the bottom headlights like yours so I just have 4 wires for my day time running lights on each side, how would I have to wire them to get them work??? ( I cant find any other videos on these style headlights having a similar issue )

[@jamibaumgartner3271]

My question exactly.. there are no videos to help with this.

[@gabeherrera1674]

How do I get the LEDS’s to run 24/7 while having everything else work properly?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

You would need to wire them to a switched ignition source that always turns on when the vehicle turns on.

[@Scary..stories-v4x]

I know this is an old video but where is the link for the 3 way tapper

[@ronc5952]

You mentioned you put pre cut film on them to protect them from rock chips. Can you send the link for where you got the film from please. Also, does the film distort the light beam? Thanks in advance.

[@pollym.2126]

Instead of tapping into the side marker lights, cant we just tap into the drl? I already cut off the drl socket because I put in another pair of blinker sockets. Cant I just tap into those wires? They are still live, just taped up, put behind the plastic.

[@twinkieville2256]

Polly M. Yeah that is what I was thinking. Should work just fine

[@sublordlord7834]

Wouldn’t they work if you hooked them up to your day light driving?

[@alexzuniga2933]

Exactly I don’t understand why not as well. A saw another video where they wired it just like this and they said the DRL working on there’s like normal.

[@roydehoyos]

[@zechwhite9255]

you didn’t wire them in the video, i can’t believe i came exaclty for that and you went in every direction except showing how to do that

[@HankGallows]

Lol yeah He glossed over that very important part

[@jmm866]

I’m sure you could tap into another power source for the leds?

[@TheAmericanDualist]

So does headlamps not work at all on auto or just during day?

[@Pressedsteelcustomsllc]

I bought my current 05 Silverado a while back and It came with some lights like these and I absolutely hate looking at them more by the day. I don't know what it is about them, but i don't like the looks of them compared to the black ones without those lights in them.

[@Prod.twenty7]

Whats wrong with u

[@DnRprodxIL]

If the turn signal light is lit at all times, when you go to actually engage the turn signal, does it still alternate with the corner light? If so, do the DRLs turn on and off as well?

[@Gundam42069]

It's a dual filament bulb. The flaw however with this design is that (if you look closely) the lower housing in a non reflective black. That means that the turn signal and running light bulbs don't project properly. I hate that about mine.

[@MikeMiller-gb9wp]

The positaps made it so much easier

[@Treya91]

How do you turn on the lights that are next to the amber turn signal lights?

[@jamesallred486]

Just pit these in. Do the original drls work on yours? Mine dont. Also do your blinkers blink faster?

[@alexzuniga2933]

If your lights are blinking faster now that u put led bulbs you need to replace the flasher with aftermarket led flasher for your vehicle most auto parts stores will have one

[@kozmicflush980]

That's called Hyper flash. Easily fixable like Alex said, buy a new flasher to correct this issue.

[@jpro112185]

How do they hold up after this long? And scratches, or moisture? I'm thinking about purchasing these same ones and will use your link. Do you recommend putting the thin plastic/ clear stickers over them or do they hold up fine? Thx

[@jarrenjones2204]

I bought these about 2 years ago and I had zero moisture issues with mine. I just got done replacing them because the halogen bulbs get them too hot and fade them and crack them sooner than later. So I just did LEDS and we’ll see how it goes. ( I also parked in direct sunlight for 1 1/2 years) that didn’t help. They do scratch pretty easy, maybe a coating will help, I’m going to be doing one soon to help with UV and scratches.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Ours have been holding up well. No issues

[@kasonsharber9831]

Won’t the leds burn out over time if you keep leaving them on?

[@landongreen4968]

Is there any way you can wire them be on during the day and night?

How have the headlights held up after some time now? Thinking about getting them but don't want to waste my money on something I'm going to gave to seal myself. Thanks!

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Still working 👍

[@ronc5952]

Have they held up well?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Yes! No moisture in the headlights. I bought some precut protective film and put that on them so they won’t get rock chips or fade as fast

[@onenewworldmonkey]

So of the 3 issues none were that buying overseas takes American jobs. I've been lucky enough to live from when you weren't allowed to drive a foreign car in the parking lot to not even considering any issue.
