Truck bumper chicken light build

Finally time to make a real video. After 3 weeks at Freightliner i got my truck back. The downside is they say they would have to charge me at least $1,350 to re-drill and wire in new lights in my bumper and I only had 16. Well since I had to do myself I decided to go for the gusto and install 48. It was a long process but finally got it done. At the end i have a quick slide show and final video of the end result .

The cameras I use are the Gopro hero 7 & 8 Blacks on the inside of my truck, I also use the Gopro 7 silver for the back footage. They are nice and voice activated.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4)Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; cahrity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8) Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

48 holes … bless your heart 🫣

That was one hard project. My wrist were extremely sore after all those holes were drilled.

Good job luking good,

Thanks. It's very time consuming but worth it in the end.

Looks good.

Thanks. Lots of long hours but worth it.

Hey buddy next time use a grinder and sharpen your drill bit I do it all the time works great

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

I have been thinking of getting a bench grinder and finding a place in the garage to mount it 🤔

[@vicpetrishak7705]

If drill chips are not being removed , more pressure and apply motor oil to cool the drill bit !

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

I guess that would be better. I would spray wd40 on the big every so often to cool it down.

[@vicpetrishak7705]

@@TheTourettesTrucker Motor oil will do a better job than WD40 . Oil has a tendency to stick better to the cutting surfaces . Place your foot on the ground and place a 3 foot 2X4 in front of your toe and leverage the wood against the drill for motor drill point pressure . The lights do look cool .

I think it's awesome you listen to classical music. My mom used to listen to Yanni and Andrew Bocelli too

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

Love Love love that kind of music

[@abdullahiahmed7484]

When you customize the truck like that. Do you tell the your insurance the additional stuff you add. In case you hit deer or spin out.

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

Never actually thought about that. I just keep coverage at a certain amount and have all the receipts for all the stuff I install.

[@rodhaygood5735]

I would like for you to instruct me how to wire lights by grounding them?

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

On here I actually ran the ground wire from the bolts that held the license plate through the bumper.

[@rodhaygood5735]

I'll tell you my brother I admire your work and thank you for responding

[@jacobsullivan9920]

Awesome work! Curious do you have a video of the fender round turn signal lights? The ones above the headlight and DRL/turn signal.

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

No sorry. Installed them back in 2016, a few months after I bought the truck

[@jacobsullivan9920]

@@TheTourettesTrucker how hard was it?

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

@@jacobsullivan9920 not hard at all I just had to take a tester to find the blinker lights off the other one and tap in to it. I just took a level to found the true top of the fender. Took a tap measure to get true left/right center and drilled the hole. These fenders are actually plastic so easy to drill. Make sure you use heat shrink tubing or heat shrink crimp connectors.

[@jacobsullivan9920]

@@TheTourettesTrucker awesome where did you buy the lights?

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

@@jacobsullivan9920 I got those from Empire Chrome shop in Memphis,AR. The tax is a little higher but generally have cheaper prices. Raney's Chrome Shop in Ocala, FL has good supply. They were online only but finally gave a store right off I-75

do u just run positive to next light ? and do you ground each one ? where to ? thanks

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

I had 250 ft of the grand central three wire strand. For each marker light, then a separate positive for the blinker and then I ran a separate ground attached to each light

[@ahmawaninyahawahbahashamya5629]

Do you install lights I need mine done

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

I've never done for anyone else but have done all mine. It took days to drill and wire mine up. It is a lot of work for sure.

[@ahmawaninyahawahbahashamya5629]

I have a international prostar no Crome bumper

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

@@ahmawaninyahawahbahashamya5629 that would be sooooo much easier to install lights on wow. That chrome bumper was no joke. After a totalled my motorcycle against the side of a car back in 2004 my wrist haven't been the same and on every hole the drill would snag and twist my wrist. I had to ice them down when I got back home from drilling. 😢

[@ahmawaninyahawahbahashamya5629]

Do you have a video on step by step maybe I can install mine?

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

@@hookahspot8973 I haven't had any burn out or dim. The only problem is that the wires in mine are thinner and break easy. The link I sent ya they look different. They don't carry the ones I have anymore. They were thin and in a black outer coat. Those look thincker and not in an outer. coating
