I put these on my w9. So much better than the stock lights. I used your video for the installation. Thanks bro. They're awesome!
Yea they are awesome. Just told one of my friends on bright at night, i make it day light again lol
I'm glad you got the DOT-Approved kind. I've seen so many headlights and "fog" lights that are nothing more than flood lights that apparently just look cool to the purchaser. But those just shoot light everywhere to the front and can't be aimed. I would suggest using some sort of "liquid tape" to seal your male spade terminals at the original plugs. There will be a lot of water and stuff getting to those over the life of your lights. Then use electrical tape or large diameter shrink wrap to secure those in place. Second, when aiming my lights, I always aim them on bright. I aim my brights so they illuminate as far down the road as possible. The dims also have a high beam element so they too, get aimed as far down the road as possible. You need to cover the three you aren't aiming and do them one at a time. I've used a long stretch of dark road and I've used a long dark exit ramp for aiming purposes. A dark parking lot with a long line of sight can work as well. Obviously, you don't want to blind anyone while you are out there aiming your lights. I have found that some light ground fog can be helpful.
Thank you for choosing DOT approved lighting. I’m fed up with being blinded by the non compliant LED bulbs and not to mention off road light bars. Many states have a 4 light across the front law. It amazes me how bright the light bars are at a distance. But appear to put out very little light on the roadway for a very short distance.
That’s how LED’s work. They’re brighter the farther away you get from them
Totally agree
You can also be blinded by DOT approved headlights if someone doesn't have them adjusted the right way. My buddy had cutoff LED type lights and they were facing up to the top of someone's trailer, I was like dude, it shouldn't go any higher than the trunk of a car when you are 20 feet behind someone
Thanks brother! I watched your vid and got mines done in 20 minutes. Looks a lot better but the visibility at night is 100 times better and safer!! Thanks again for teaching us long hood rookies 😆
Good afternoon Sammy and Family
Truck looking good with the new eyeballs hehehehe..
Go Cash you got this👍
Delivering here in South Florida and going to hangout here on the west coast till the Tropical storm/hurricane passes up the East coast so prayers going out to everyone in its path 🙏🙏🙏
Y’all take care and be safe out there 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hey what type of go pro you use? I'm looking into getting 1 your video's are perfectly clear!
Thanks for this information. It’s been a year since you installed them. How have they held up? Have they started getting water in them? I’m wanting to know because I just purchased the exact same lights so I’m hoping they were worth the money.
Good to see you getting a little home time Sammy enjoy your family and home. I got a 2017 Ram 2500 and it came with some Halogen Lights New and they are Bright!! if I have them on Hi Beam meeting a car they will ask for Dim right away so I hope them new ones work good for you (: Be Safe and Take Care>>God Bless.
I had those same lights on my Monte. You can crosswire them over and have all four light up low and high.
I'm interested in doing that. I can probably figure it out.
Had a guy tell me this week that’s the best way to do em bc he said his kept burning out hooked up the regular way.
Both our trucks are T800 kw’s. I’ve definitely got to do something bc I can see 💩 on low beam and we live in a very swampy area in the south and haul a lot of logs. Dangerous as can be. Preciate your comment
@@arfarms5711 another tip. When adjusting the beams, do the 2 outside lights normally. Tilt the 2 insides a little lower than you normally would and point them slightly outward. Gives you a good view of the shoulder without blinding oncoming traffic. That's kept me from many a texas hog and deer.
@@rilloroc man I Preciate info bro. I’m in SC and we hog and deer rich too. I’m in the low country (on coast) and haul a lot of logs and I swear the regular lights don’t work worth crap on these foggy mornings. Keep the shiny side up driver 👍👍✌️😎
Did your APU come with the truck?
Where did you get those connectors from? Or did you make them? I just got my W900L and have the issue where switching the halogen to LED didn't work. So, your video was very helpful, thank you.
Where do u connect the red wire for high beams
Hey Sammy, bought the lights for my W9. They look great. As reasonable as they are going to make a second order just to have as needed replacements. Thanks
Right on! I was thinking the same thing myself :)
Yea. I was listing to you describing the A/C problems. And I thought you had evaporator and condenser locations. Backwards. That's why I mentioned cabin Filter.
Do you own the property your at? Looks nice
Looks good, now ya gotta do it for ya new pick up truck, sure the wife would love that 😆
What is the lumins
Hey i need help how to get license plates for semi
So that’s the trick to hooking up led from halogen is where the connections go in the plug?
Real questions, how do they work at night?, are they heated for winter? Mine aren't and freeze up and I go blind in wet snow
I just installed them and you don’t need that other wire that you taped to it. Use a pick and switch the wires
Just recently got a truck with LED headlights and fog lights. So much brighter than the halogen.
Put a little bit of dielectric grease in the connections. Keeps the corrosion from winter road salt out, and the lights on. No DOT violations.
Best wishes from the North
I bought my JW Speakers for $350 sump'em for 2 out the door from one of my part stores name "Great American Truck Parts" in Austell,Ga. It's like night and day compared to the stock 4x6's and they're plug'n play, no adapters👍. I did have to adjust them because I was blinding everyone running the backwoods of Tennessee! But your right, you can't see 5 feet in front a W-9 hood with the stock lights! Don't let it pour down raining and your loaded running through the woods? Ohhh boy your talking puckered and praying while sitting on top the steering wheel... LMAO. Those lights are the best investment yet! I'm gonna get the ones with the heater in them and put the ones I have now in the high beam spot because the low beam JW Speakers outshine the stock high beams. Question, where did you get your APU put in and how much? I have a 1996 W900L (yes it has a 3406e) and I want to get one put in. Any info you can pass on will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for showing the load board and the numbers because it's all about the numbers💰💰💰
Nice...I need brighter lights, gettin old, add in a clip of how they look at night when you do your A/C : ).
What size drop visor are you thinking of getting
reverse bowtie, 13" sides and around 8" center
did you install the air cleaner lights? if you got a video?
not yet. i plan to soon though :)
I switched everything over to led including my side by side and my personal car. My neighbor switch his KW over to LED and said that they can become your enemy in the snow and ice because they do not produce heat. They sure look awesome though👍👊
Diesel Power Channel They make some LED headlights that do have a heater element to keep them from freezing over. I believe TRUX brand. Probably others.
Simple answer: take a cloth and wipe some WD-40 or PB Blaster on the front of the light. They won't ice up. Cheaper than buying $300 LED headlights with heaters on them.
Replaced my crusty halogens with new halogens. They were $36 for all 4 and they're perfectly fine.
Man. You didn't show how you hooked the wire into the plug after you pulled the headlight off. I'm catching hell trying to figure out how to install the high beam side with the 2 prongs.
I’m so sorry bro!! I messed up. Fortunately it’s a easy switch if the wires. I didn’t realize this until weeks after I made video 🤦♂️
Did you have to order the wires for lights or did they come with?
i didnt order wires, it came with them :)
MakeCents How are they working? I never seen anywhere if they had heaters in them.
I ordered them. See how they are to install.
God is good every day!
Some of those LED lights do not create heat so if you drive in a snow storm they will be covered in snow and you will not be able to see! I left the high beam halogen in so if this happens turn on hi
SAY Some one WANTED TO SELL AN AUTHORITY DOES IT NEED TO HAVE LOADS UNDER ITS BELT TO BE WORTH ANYTHING OR JUST TIME with good CSA score?
That i'm not sure. Maybe someone will know and chime in :)
A low number in most cases indicates that the business has been around for a while and may influence someone to do business with that company rather than some newbie.
Yes sir think I'm about to upgrade my lights
I think you should hook up the red wire on the other light as well
i did :) realized i had did it wrong after recording
Where do you hook up the red wire?
When I turn my high beams my whole right side shuts off
Did your evaporator have a leak?
No it was good
Hey Cash your Dad has 33000 + sub.. I think you can watch and learn and you will be great also..Have a good day Make Cents family..😀👍🇺🇸👍
Go git em Cash 💰!!
Go CASH! listen too your pops!
Chip off his old block Awesome👍
You wired your inner high only beams wrong. You wired the highs as lows
You can use a heat gun on them plastic pieces to get them back to were you need them to be, and will keep that mud off the truck keeping them plastic upper flaps in place.
They are rubber, the metal is whats bent. But with some work i could get them to straighten out prob.
👍👍
Go Cash

Go cash
Go cash! My son is 16 and just started working. He's putting $2000 a month into investments so by the time he's 21 he won't have to work, but can follow his dream of owning and flying his own airplanes.
I'm running a 2016 W900 and slowly turning it into an o/o looking rig.
If it don't make cents, it don't make Cash. That should be the boy's official T-shirt.
Contrapositive is "If it make Cash, it make Cents" is equivalent according to the rules of logic because you can't have Cash without Makecents, unless some kind of immaculate conception occurred.
You need to hit the road. Stop slacking and go make some money! Oh you are with youtube...🤑 check your txt.
Sammy your slackin..Just trucking is getting $ 15.00 a mile
Custom vs factory.
Custom costs you money, factory makes you money.
