Would this work for a 2024 ford maverick?
Yes, should be the exact same.
Good video!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Hi Fred, you should buy the Rode 2 Wireless Go mic, so we can hear you better.
@@skib1234 I have upgraded to the DGI mic 2 since this video. Yes, it is a high improvement. I haven’t been able to make any videos in the last few months. I have had 1 tropical storm and 2 hurricanes this summer.
In the future if you want to remove the lights and have to unclip the wires from the headlight wires, would your headlights still work since I assume these clips cuts the wrapping around the wire.
@@shahidkhan-uq9mm yes, it will still work. All you would have to do if you remove the clips are add either a little electrical tape or even better a drop of liquid electrical tape.
@@fredsgarage1925 I appreciate the fast response, mine are coming today and that was my own worry before installing.
I have had mine for almost a year, they have been outside through two hurricanes, 3 coming this week and have been working perfectly. Only advice I can give is take your time with the wiring clips. A lot of people do not splice into the wire and then have a tough time finding the issue. Good luck, it’s well worth it.
@@fredsgarage1925 if you are in the hurricane zone, may God protect you and help you keep safe. Just another question, I saw some reviews stating that condensation gets into the housing of the lights, have you had any issues like these? I just installed mine, I didn’t use the included clips for connections, I actually did proper wiring and used heat shrink. Your video helped a lot on the wiring diagram though. And the lights looked amazing at the end.
You’re way of connecting the wires are much better. Water intrusion, I do not use car washes. I honestly believe that is the reason. I live in Clearwater Beach. My truck stays outside full time. It’s been through 2 hurricanes and 2 tropical storm’s plus weekly down pours. My lights have always worked perfectly and do not have any condensation in them. I am evacuating in a couple of hours and will definitely need you prayers for this Hurricane. Milton is looking like a 1 in 100 year storm.
Great review, thanks for sharing! Watch the microphone that you’re using for this video? You sound very good no matter how you move your head around and I’d like to get the same thing.
Hi, it’s a great inexpensive microphone that I use with my iPhone. Here is the link. amzn.to/3ZRvWvY
@@fredsgarage1925 Thank you, just ordered one!
Nice video, I installed these headlights about a year ago, very cool, I got the extra bag with the harness and I contacted the company and they told me you don't need it, it's plug-in play, which it is, but now I see I could switch from clear to Amber, I am on Amber now and it does look cool, paid $600 for the pair, sold my original ones on craigslist for 250, so I was able to ease the pain a little bit, just got back from off Roading for the fifth time, Trails water mud holes, love it, thanks for the video
Thank you, I didn’t know about not needing the harness. Enjoy the Bronco in the mud, sounds fun.
Fred amazing video. U think the back cam dash is hard to installed?
Hi, thanks. The rear is easier in my opinion. Here is the install video. Now I attached it to the roll bar looking out the rear window so when I take the top off the camera stays. In the video I attached the camera with the double sided d tap. It only stayed for 2 days. I ended up using some Gorilla glue hot glue and it’s been on for over a year. Any questions please let me know. Adding a Dash Cam to a Ford Bronco, part 2. ruclips.net/video/fJE3qx7MTgg/видео.html
@@fredsgarage1925 Sweet thanx watching now!
They're never going to get that electrical fire stench out of their house
Your so right, I could smell it in the street.
Y'all think brand new combustion engine vehicles have never caught fire in a garage? 😂
Never during a flood
@@fredsgarage1925Who says?
That's just the heating system added in the latest software update
It would be nice with a few marshmallows in a cold night. 😀
just the beginning of this tech it'll get a lot better, relax plp, you think when cars were invented they didnt catch fire, course they did but they got better.
Yes, EV’s need time to iron out the bugs.
That's why I keep my 1st gen toyota sequoia ,4.7l is a monster for durability
Yes, that’s the way to do it., too many electronics in new vehicles.
I just watched a stupid human say stupid things. Does that mean all humans are stupid! 🧐🤷♂️
If Tesla managed to solve these issues, then it's not an EV problem.
Did they really though? There's a reason he bought Twitter that nobody talks about
@@shimes424 I mean yes they did? They cut corners with basic things like panel gaps, but battery tech is somewhere they've made a bunch of gains. Safety was something they figured out ages ago. Yes they still catch fire sometimes, just like petrol vehicles do. Both need to store a ton of energy somewhere they can pull out tons at a moments notice - so there's always the possibility that batteries and fuel can end up in a runaway reaction. Musk bought Twitter because he's insane at a minimum. Just because there's something wrong with him doesn't mean that Tesla and SpaceX in particular are invalidated.
Take a look at my latest short. Tesla has the same issue with salt water
They are forcing us onto electric so there is more control. If power goes out we have nothing and are at their mercy. If you have gas and power goes out it's not a big deal. Why are people signing up to remove guns and energy diversity? Not smart people wanting to feel morally superior
I totally agree, the Government should not be forcing us to make our own purchases.
also, who had the dogshit idea to make an ELECTRIC HUMMER???
I really like the look of it, it would be perfect with a LS engine in it.
all cars are electric ! some are 30% efficient with flames and pollution pouring out its ass into our lungs! others are 100% efficient with the pollution going in one place- bit like humans when we shit down the toilet and not in the streets eh 💩💩💩💩💩💩
Sounds good, just don’t want it parked in my garage under my bedroom.
@@fredsgarage1925 the electric car isnt the problem- the power source is ! Help us fix it rather than be an asshole about it.
Now y'all know y'all tripping lol gasoline cars catch fire all the time
I’m sure the owner of the Hummer is happy to hear that. He had 3 cars in his garage. The fire department pulled out the Hummer and his model Y. Out of the garage, they left the gas powered convertible in the garage. All 3 were surrounded by 3 -4 ft of seawater due to the hurricane we just had.
@@fredsgarage1925 All I know is my gasoline car burnt my whole house down. Now I know you seen as many times as I have cars burning on the side of the road and the on fire all types of stuff. Everything has a chance of catching on fire
Sheep head
Gas is also explosive… this is such a lame argument against EVs, I live in a city where there’s many EVs, I’ve yet to see one randomly explode or on fire… and I’m guessing most people haven’t.
The argument is, if you live somewhere where the EV can come in contact with salt water there is a very high change of the EV self igniting. We just had a Hurricane and everything was flooded with 3-4 ft of sea water. The county fire department sent out a text to inform them if you owned a EV because they were catching fire all over. I’m not anti EV, u just would not want it in my garage.
@@fredsgarage1925 thanks for responding and I can see your point. The one good thing about any technology whether it's ICE or EV, is that they do improve, this is just the early stage. So it will only get better. Look at the first cars and how slow they are but now cars can go to 200mph and have safety features where you'll see people surviving some high speed accidents. So if the technology is pretty solid now it's safe to say it will improve and get better and in turn become more safe as well. I'm sure they're going to solve for that problem as no one wants their customers cars to explode in their garages! :) To add a last example, propane has an expansion ratio of around 270 to 1 if I recall and people cook and light their houses with it. Will there be accidents? Yes. But is it safe enough for a majority of people to use without incident also yes. Anyway thanks for the measured response, I have a lot of respect for you for that! :)
@@damagesxyes, your 100% correct. I think if airplanes. The first ones must of been so scary, now it’s the safest way to travel. Hey, have a great day. Thanks for the comment.
Hard pass on any ev !!!!
Even golf carts are catching on fire. Definitely don’t want a EV in a garage. Keep it outside.
Definitely not. Not even charred from fire
It was surrounded by 4 feet of seawater. The owners where sleeping and onstar called them at 12:50 and told them to get out of the house. They has to wade over to the neighbors house. 10 minutes later the truck had an explosion and destroyed the garage and blew out the upper windows. The only thing that saved them was that it was surrounded with seawater. The fire department showed up after the water receded and pulled it out into the driveway. If you look at the whole linked video you can zoom in and see the garage damage.
Have some decency
The owner was there and was ok with it.
"Y'all can keep them technology to yourselves"
I want a nice simple classic truck, I’m with you.
Vape batteries blew up in pockets and in faces, let’s make them 10 x the size and put them in cars. Murica
Yup, that hummers battery is like the biggest one made. They were just luck it was under 4 ft of water when it went off.
@@fredsgarage1925what would happen if it was under water?
@@redrum6011 luckily it was under 4 ft of seawater due to the hurricane. The water caused the fire but it also probably saved the house from burning down.
One of the many reasons why EV's will never truly go anywhere, that and we are already running out of lithium just under a decade from the start of their mass manufacture.
@@fredsgarage1925so it didn’t happen just randomly, it had a hurricane as a reason? Yeh totally would blame EVs for that xD
Nice video! Thanks for sharing some great tips. I was ready to pull down the panels but like the way you did it without taking everything apart. The part number for the harness helped the most to verify what I have is correct.
Thanks, just a heads up. My rear camera only stuck on for 2 days with the double sided tape. So I used gorilla hot glue stick, I add some painters tape over the rear camera overnight to let the glue cure, then remove the tape. It’s been on for a year or so with no issues. Also the glue looks like it would peel off fairly easy if I ever wanted to. Good luck.
Nonsensical luxury items are often, ironically, of poor quality. You're paying for the brand, not for an excellent quality/price ratio. You could buy Volvo, or Subaru, but if you choose a "statement" monstrosity, that's more on you, sorry. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, although safety was obviously not the concern here.
Yes, I 100% agree. EV should come with a notification that if it comes in contact it might explode.
GM is beginning to be known to have their issues with their EVs
The EV and salt water don’t mix well and the news doesn’t let the population know.
All EV’s have problems
@iroc-z6668 yup, EV’s are being pushed to fast on people.
Gm is known to have issues with all their new vehicles but don't worry if they get in financial trouble again the government will bail them out with our tax dollars
Nothing to do with GM. It's all EVs. Remember that cargo ship that went down full of VW Auto Group cars? All those Porsches and Audis BURNING at the bottom of the ocean
You know the hurricanes coming so put your boat on the trailer and take it to a safe location. Insurance claims should be denied for ignorant people
The problem is that a lot of people don’t live here and don’t take precautions prior to returning to their homes. That should happen is. Prior to leaving, the lift needs to be raised as high as possible and the boat needs to be tied to the lift.
God is with the folks who suffered loss of life and property
That’s my they need a 🙏. Thanks
Well, few may live by the ocean but many states have winter and use salt on the roads to melt ice so there is that. This would cause the same issue as ocean water.
Whoa!! I had no idea about the ocean salt water and batteries. But you make a huge point about the salt on the roads and that is frightening!!!
Yup, I think the battery packs need to be placed somewhere in the vehicle where it doesn’t come in contact with the road conditions. They should think of the battery packs like a radio that almost never gets wet. The only issue is how heavy they are.
@@fredsgarage1925 Considering some cars have structural carpet and seats, there is no escaping the salt.
V8s are here too stay EVs will never change that.
We should always have the choice of what we want to drive.
FUMMER
Yes
Accident s happen and few live by the ocean.
Yes, it’s definitely a salt water issue. If I didn’t live by the ocean I would love a Hummer Eav. I really like the looks.
Doesn't like 90% of the world population live near the ocean?
Stay safe Fred
Thanks you, already had to report to work. 😀
Yes, it’s terrible to see all the devastation. We’re sending prayers out for all affected by this incident. We got lucky with our place compared to others. We had about 4” of water get into our place. Our neighborhood was hammered. Very few were unscathed. Many of our friends had several feet of water in their homes. Hope you faired well.
I’m so glad to hear that you guys are OK. I got so lucky, the water came up to 1 inch from my pool deck. The only damage I received was 1 piece of my siding blew off and a lot of hedge damage. I’m so lucky that my house was built on a mound.
Does something happen to e-vehicles in the slatier areas?
Yes, the salt water gets into the battery pack, that causes the battery to short out and it starts a fire.
@fredsgarage1925 oh God that's wild. Today I learned something new
Thx for the vid, helped a ton with mine. I too had to paint some parts as shipping scratched the crap out of it. Anyone else that has this notice the front end is noticably have a heavier feel to it? I realize between this and a steel skid plate its about 80lbs heavier but damnnn
Glad it helped, I have had mine one for probably a years with no issues. It’s definitely a lot heavier than the plastic one. My next job is a gas tank skid plate. Hey, have a great day.
Thanks for the video, helped me make make my decision. Looks like a roll up version for me too! Thanks, Brent
Glad it helped I have mine for almost 1 1/2 years and it’s still alive or is great.
Rampage will have a hybrid plug-in. It is on it way
That is great, that’s what we need.
It Florida it gets hot ( i think a solar widow would do a better job( 1/10 the cost), it would venture Maverick) thanks
Solar windows, and hanks I’ll have to check that out. The biggest benefit is that I can keep my phone on the dash without it getting overheated.
good video thanks
Thanks, I still only have the reverse, cargo and third brake lights as LEDs. Hey, have a great day.
great video sorry for your landscaper poor luck( and yours) thanks
I felt so bad for him, it ended costing $1300. The crazy part was, when he Brock the rear glass, I was at the ford dealer having my Bronco’s rear glass replaced. Hey, have a great day.
On your roof rack how’s the wind noise?
Hello, under 40mph there is nothing, once I hit 45MPH there is a humming noise. It’s not that bad but I can hear it. I am going to experiment with adding some u channel weather stripping to the bottom on the front air dam to see if that stops the hum. I think it’s caused by that 1 inch of space below the front. I don’t think that there is going to be any rack without some noise. But I toss my paddle-board on that rack all the time so I have to live with the noise. Hope this helped, good luck with your choice.
Hey, I just got a. Bronco and looking into these. How are the off-roading? Have you hit any rocks or anything with them?
In my opinion these are the best, they are build extremely solid, they look great. I haven hit ant rocks with them, but I would have 100% confidence in them protecting my Bronco. Good luck in your decision.
Fred, I have a '24 XLT. I want to purchase these lights, but they have so many negative reviews. Your video is 4 months old now. Has your son had any issues? I belong to a carwash club and run my Maverick through about ever other day and I'm worried about moisture.
Hello, I love my lighted I have had them on form5 and on6 months. I don’t go through the car wash but I live in Florida which gets sun almost daily. It’s a tough decision, a lot of people just stay Lucien the back. Good luck in what ever you decide.
my maverick is great and your videos are very helpful. thank you for the inspiration to make my maverick my own
Thank you, glade I can help.
Don't buy it ,,,nothing but problems...
Sorry y hear that. I have had my hybrid for 1 1/2 years with out one single issue. I actually really love this little truck as my daily driver.
You're the best Fred. I love the videos.
Thank you. Glade the videos can help.
Excellent video, I'm a Maverick owner. I've owned many new vehicles. Never one that is so perfect and useful to me. I love it
I love mine, I’ve had it 1 1/2 years. Not 1 issues and it just fits my life perfectly. The money I save on gas basically pay for the Maverick. Hey, thanks for the comment and have a great day.
