Bought some lights after I saw your video and installed them by myself just by watching your video, without reading any of instructions 😉 THANK YOU!!!!
I’ve had mine installed on my ‘20 Trail Boss for about 4 months now, love the look. I used a remote controlled relay switch wired to power under the hood, took the remote and programmed the garage door opener switches to run the lights, no reason to try to run wires into the cab.
Here’s the switch that I used, it came with a relay but I used the one with the light kit. Nice thing is that the connectors matched the ones with the kit relay so no ugly butt connectors and tape to be seen. I just put the remote in the console just in case I would ever need to reprogram the garage door opener. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DOUV83K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This a great video...love how you showed the ups and downs about this process. I will definitely be doing this to my Silverado very soon. Thanks for doing this...look forward to your upcoming videos.
I had my first attempt to remove the grill today but I got really frustrated and I got scared that it was going to break from pulling too hard. But after seeing this I'll give it another try tomorrow, hopefully I'll make it work. Great video 👍
I purchased the wireless key fob and you can turn on lights with no switch. It works great. You attach the controller where the switch wire connects. Awesome.
I purchased here...www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M1FBSIL?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title. Rough Country also sells one. Wherever you can find it in stock.
Just picked up the GM upfitter aux switch kit. Gives a full harness and 5 switches along with a stock GM kicker panel that it mounts into below the steering wheel. Super clean and looks stock. Not bad for $250. Just ordered this kit and gonna use it for my ditch lights as well for the boss.
I installed the same ones on my pickup! I measured liked 10 times to cut once and still took my time cutting it. They are amazing lights bro! You made a great choice! I cut that ugly push button to a blue toggle witch, which I mounted to the big square empty slots below the radio, lights up blue like the lights when lights on and double lights when I toggle the switch. Great addition man!💪🏻🤘🏻
Just installed these and the wide spotlights from RC. I have not been able to test in total darkness or in a decent dark location due to being in a city. I'm taking my boys camping this weekend and cannot wait to see what they really look like. Either way, I am happy with how they look on the truck now. Adds a good look to an already sexy truck.
Just found you today since im looking at buying one started with the classaction lawsuit video now im watching the whooe playlist on the trailboss love your videos so far!!!
Man, I just removed my grill about 3 weeks back on 2021 Trail Boss, they are such a pain to remove. I was just about as frustrated as you were at first portion of the removal.
I would personally leave that little light on the switch. It looks like you tapped into a fuse, what you could do, so that light isn’t always on, is tap into a different fuse that only has power when the vehicle is on. Then you won’t have any battery draw, and you won’t be able to accidentally forget that you have your lights on and kill your battery.
How can I tap into a fuse I just wired up my led light bar and fog lamps that came with a rough country bumper but I have the red light on for the switches, definitely don’t wanna drain my battery
Ive been running that switch 2 years no problem, even in extreme canadian winters and even after leaving car off for days… i doubt that light draws enough to hurt battery
I was so excited for these led’s when I first saw on ebay, then I saw your video and got more excited from your review specially when you said for aaages, I replied that section many times to see the difference when you switch them on but it was just few seconds so couldn’t tell and made my decision based on your words, so I ordered them and got them installed (without breaking the clips on the grill)😂, but when I first turned them on I got disappointed😔 It’s not what I thought or hoped, but in all they are good, the beam is almost circle ⭕️ , its very sideway and wide up to the sky, & because I was expecting so I bought the RC hood spot led’s too, and that’s made the smile on my face😁, its a good combination, but these alone wasn’t satisfying, was planning to get the adapter for the side mirrors but these works instead, Don’t make me excited then break my heart 💔😂, remember I’m watching you👀 All the best bro…✌🏼😎
FYI that light that stays on on the switch will never kill or drain the battery. i had one of the same and painted over the light and it was in my truck for 2 years with no issue. i agree they suck but worked just fine.
I pulled my grill for the first time and it scared the ....... out of me, only broke one white clip. I need to buy some but have not looked for them. Cool install.
I know I am late to the naming of the Camaro. But just for fun God “Z” lla. Great videos and information. I am currently waiting on my first ever new car to be delivered and I chose a Trail Boss. After watching several of your videos I can’t wait for it to get here at the end of September.
You need to find a switched 12v source, not a 12v constant, that way the light with only be on when the truck is on, all you done is kept power to the switch and removed the switch led ground, so it doesn’t light up red or green, still drains on the battery
My companies are all named Black Tie... The name just pops for people. And it looks like the car is dressed for a formal with the black bow tie. Go for it!
@@LonestarHawaiian and I just bought the same truck, 2021 Trail Boss Black. Love it. Doing some of the same mods on mine and following your videos religiously.
I put my exterior LED bars on a 4 port remote switch mounted next to the battery and obviously the remote inside with me, no ugly switches or running anything through the firewall. You should check out the Pulsar LT module that just came out for this generation GM truck, auto start-stop disable, DFM disable, governor disable, etc. By far the best thing I've done to my 2020 Sierra Elevation so far.
Boost Auto Parts sells a wire tap for a 6 high mod. Have it on my 2007.5 GMC Sierra 2500HD. Fog lights stay on when high beams come on. Side note: if fog lights and high beams are off with this mod, by only turning high beams on, fog lights will also turn on as well.
Awesome!! Been wanting to get these lights for my trail boss so now I guess it’s time!! Also for the auto stop check out Autostop Eliminator. It’s a plug and play that plugs up behind the switch and keeps the switch off but still allows you to turn it back on when you want it. 🤙
@@LonestarHawaiian wasn’t terribly difficult. It was more nerve racking more than anything because of the thin plastic and metal clips. Truck Ownership: 101 has a good install video that helped a lot. Those nylon pry bars and tape help a lot though.
You are in Texas - Need to add Emergency Horns on it! I added (2) 2' Union Pacific's under the frame of truck and installed the tank and compressor in the back of the bed under my Retrax MX rolling compartment. Always fun to scare the sh!t out of people. also - no Putco 60" led light bar on the tailgate?! Appreciate some of the cool ideas you have given me thus far!
Question. Would these be able to get hooked up to an auxbeam 8 gang switch panel and be able to be turned on and off by that? Instead of using that little flimsy switch that comes with them
Just wanted to reach out and tell you thanks for all the awesome content. New subscriber here, and your videos have inspired me to go after my dream truck. I have a few questions for you. Do you still enjoy your truck? Do you still have your trail boss? Are there any regrets or major issues you’ve come across? I’m currently looking at a 2020 Lt trail boss as well and with all the awesome mods you’ve done… Well let’s just say I’m excited to see what the future holds. If you get time I’d highly enjoy your feedback. Keep up the great work! 🤙
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN that's ironic, because we call our 2020 LT Trail Boss Big Z. And ours also has the midnight package. But the biggest difference on our Trail Boss is that it has the 6.2L, and the tailpipe tips are powder coated black.
I would like more info on the center consul switch bar. I have a SRT if you look on the steering wheel cruse control it has a dead area if you Change that cluster out you can get an active switch there. That is where I would like to wire my fog lights to but Chevy was no help when I asked them that question.
Rc has the best light bars for the money and you cant beat the quality I've order 6 from them so far I do hate there switches thou I'll give you that the 52inch has a small oval one I like that super easy to hide
FantaZ as in Phantom Z or Fantasy Z. I had Fanta-Z made out of wood like 2x6 for my White 1980 Hugger Z-28 in the 80’s and would always get comments on it hanging from the mirror 👍
It is expensive but you save yourself from cutting the grill up plus it’s bright as fuck. I get it though not to many people would pay that price. I just didn’t know if he knew that Baja made a bolt on light bar.
Hey ma man, love the videos. I have a 2019 RST and wanted full LED. Was able to change out the plate and reverse lights without issue but can’t find the front signals. Any advice?

@@a1992r-h4w just follow the instructions in the owners manual for programming a garage door opener
@@LonestarHawaiianhow'd you get the led in the switch to turn off?
I have these and they are badass. Looks really good. Wired mine into the fog lights.
How difficult was that ? I’m looking to do the same
@ just tied into the fog light wires. Used jumper connectors. Get liquid electric tap and coat the connector so it's water tight and won't corrode
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Outstanding job. Thank you so much for such an incredible video. 👍

Love the way the integrate into the grill.
Love mine. They are stupid bright for the size they are. Glad to see you picked them up!
The I dont destroy my stuff and Mike's clip added in had me laughing , perfect and great vid.
cool upgrade... have to admit, the best part.....the kiddo with the shades
Right?!
Looks great. Had these in my cart for awhile. I think I may have to do it now. Thanks for the diy
Love mine. I had them on my F250, but now I literally just purchased the same midnight edition Silverado and want to install these same ones
Right on!
Yessah my Bradah buggah is cherreh love the build Hawaiian keep it up
You should look at painting your calipers red, easy project and more content for the page! 👍👍👍
Black Tie is definitely the way to go as far as names go

Wish this fit my 2008 chevy silverado :] had to speed comment before I watch the video. Know its a banger!!
I think you can retro-fit it with the separate brackets/hardware that is included. I don't believe the RC plates will work on the
08 grille
Looks good! I can’t seem to find it in me to cut my RST. Knowing me I’ll f*** something up🤣

@@LonestarHawaiian wasn’t terribly difficult. It was more nerve racking more than anything because of the thin plastic and metal clips. Truck Ownership: 101 has a good install video that helped a lot. Those nylon pry bars and tape help a lot though.
Are you going to do a video on how to delete that cheap switch and wire it into your auto off button?
When we get to it, absolutely!
If you were going to add Rough Country ditch lights with the led grill kit would you use the black series spot/drl or the spectrum series pods?
Pitch Black,what about the black stone " Onyx"
Jack of Enthused already use that in his video of his one black truck. Onyx.
We’re you able to tap into the stock switch panel? What button did you use for the fog lights?
Looks badass
All you need now is the illuminated bow tie in the front grille
Love the idea (except the thought of removing the grille again lol)
Which wire did you cut from the switch to get ride of the green/red light and constant power?
Which kind of lights do you install in the roof of your garage. Looks amazing bro..
Hi I was wondering how did you end up hooking up the power so the light in the cab wasn’t always on
I already got the spotlight and fog lights mod done to my truck. These light bars are next 😁
You are in Texas - Need to add Emergency Horns on it! I added (2) 2' Union Pacific's under the frame of truck and installed the tank and compressor in the back of the bed under my Retrax MX rolling compartment. Always fun to scare the sh!t out of people.
also - no Putco 60" led light bar on the tailgate?!
Appreciate some of the cool ideas you have given me thus far!
Blackwidow for the ZL1? Looking good, surprised you didn't change to the lighted Bowtie while you had the grill out?
Looks really cool! 👍
Black Tie is the one... 😎
And change this oldschool looking turnsignal bulbs to led. Just sayin 😉
Question. Would these be able to get hooked up to an auxbeam 8 gang switch panel and be able to be turned on and off by that? Instead of using that little flimsy switch that comes with them
So did you tap into the toggle switches under radio? I’m think of doing that but have no idea how to.
I like it! How do you put the lights on the sides to blink!
I was just wondering if anyone knew where you could buy a LTZ or high Country auxiliary panel switches from
404 Parts sells a kit. Search "Upfitter Switch Kit." there are. few options out there.
Thanks man!! I’ve learned so much from your videos. Just ordered me the lasfit led combo package
Nice DIY project Bro. keep up the good work!!!
Great video. I was lookin to do that to my 2020 rst. I don't have the lamps on the mirrors so I was looking to throw on the ditch lights as well.

how good is this product ?? led bar 10 inch de rought country
Did you look at the Baja Designs light bar that mounts behind the grill.
$750 compared to $200
It is expensive but you save yourself from cutting the grill up plus it’s bright as fuck. I get it though not to many people would pay that price. I just didn’t know if he knew that Baja made a bolt on light bar.
Alot of work is there a professional that does this
Been VERY hard to find here in Austin Texas.
Very interested seeing how you wire in the light bar into the useless switches
How did you resolve the ON/OFF switch light staying ON on the OFF position ? does it. I'm in the process of installing the RC light bar.
I want to get this for my TB but i dont understand how to connect it to the battery . (never hooked anything electrical up to the battery before)
Maybe you already covered this but how did you get the high spot lights on the side mirrors to stay on while your driving
