Hey Donslife Fam! Boost Auto just authorized a discount code ‘DONSM1’ and it's valid for 20% off a set of Lumastep boards for any vehicle through next Sunday, November 19th, 2023.
Nice product demo video. When I first saw this new video I thought… Oh no Don is going to demo much nicer cab steps than the outrageously expensive Amp Research steps I already have on my 2023. The Boost steps are very nice but I’m keeping my Amp Research steps. The differences are the Boost steps are stationary while the Amp Research steps are retractable offering a lower step up into the cab. The Amp Research steps have two small lights per side… not the very cool lighting options of the Boost step. I ditched the lame lighting of the Amp Research steps when I installed mine using some much nicer LED strips. Its better lighting than what was included but not even a comparison to the Boost step sequential lighting. If someone made it I’d like to buy a sequential light kit for my Amp Research steps… that would be the bomb… retractable sequential lighted steps. I can confirm the way Don fished the wiring down the inside of the fender is the way to go. Its not so hard to do once you get started. One of Don’s signature habits is doing a very clean install. He strives for an OEM finish once the install is complete. That doesn’t happen by accident. Don has a knack for finding cool off the beaten path accessories giving us a good demo of how it works and installs. Soldier on Don 😂😂
Agree with everything you said and I'm also happier with the look and function of my amps on the AT4. I also ditched the supplied amp lights for a much nicer (and whiter!) LED strips. My main issue is the boost running boards besides the stationary nature, is how bright the light is, literally washes out the puddle lights. I think the perfect product has the function and customization of the boost light strip at about 20% brightness along the edge of amp powered steps. I can dream can't I??
Excellent videos. I like how clean and proper your install videos are. I want a set like you have very nice. I have cheap opt5 ones. I got no complaints still on 2 years but those are much cleaner and I need new running boards. Keep it up

Think it's cool to light up until you get in the truck... Or out of the truck.. But on all the time is a bit much for me. Nice job on install and vid Don!
Hey Don, love the running boards and the lighting. Any chance you can get another discount code for a percentage off like you had in November. Everyone is trying to save a buck and with the price of these trucks and my payments anything would help. Tks again for the vids. Love the mods.,
I asked. They have some system limitations that don’t currently allow for a permanent or temporary discount code that is unique to my audience or otherwise. They will have sales from time to time as well though.
They look really good! I want to replace my sierra slt chrome rails with these, they look more aggressive! I'm looking to delete most of the chrome from my truck, this would be a good start, quick and easy! Thx for the video. 👁 ❤ 🛻
Question for ya. I’ve noticed that on dark streets at night making left turn, it’s kinda dare on the side of the truck so there is a possibility of hitting stuff on the left and even the right. I know that the boards with the white side light which should help with that. I’m planning on ordering these but only with the yellow. I think the white is too bright for my taste. On a side note have you experimented with side lights so that that dead dark area would be minimized when turning?
Hey Don, those are pretty cool. I think I’m going to get me some too. I do have a question for you though. What wires in the left and right headlight harnesses are the turn signals?
I have these running boards ordered. Also have the light up gmc logo. How do you run both of these together since they both use headlight for plug n play ?
Great videos always Don. I have a question about a correct fuse to use. I need to know which fuse and location to hook to for power when I click on my key fob for power for lights I installed above my side steps. I want these lights to come on when I click to unlock the truck. My truck is a 2019 Custom Trail Boss. Thank you for any help Donald
This is pretty slick. Can you have the steps be drl amber for night driving versus white? I think it’s weird not having the step go the full length or having to have a gap at the front if you want to access the bed
I am currently finishing up a video to answer your question. I can't speak to the length since I am not involved in their development. I agree that another 8" would be nice.
It may be expired, but Try DONSM1 with this link: boostautoparts.com/products/lsm1-19-23-gm-1500?Don%27s+Life&B+GM+Lumastep+M1&Sponsorship Otherwise, I can ask them if they have anything new they want to do and post it here.
love the video, quick question if i choose to get the signal and running light option would i have to tap into the battery or would it just feed power of the plug and play harness that adapt to the headlights?
I wanted to buy these for my truck but was unsure how they would hold up to winterpeg winters. Especially after dealing with my BOOST Tow mirrors failing miserably after going over bumps and cold temps they broke under their own weight. Literally snapped..
Really?? The tow mirrors on my F-150 crew truck are like new still. As for the steps, I was curious how they would hold up as well. So far just fine. No operational issues either.
Unfortunately not - the start up sequence will match the color of the running light. That being said, if you do an amber running light and option with rock light - you can get the strip to illuminate white via the rock light switch, just not with the start up sequence when you unlock the truck.
Don, any issues with the truck and its systems from disconnecting the battery to do an electrical installation and reconnecting it afterwards? Most of my cars are old enough to not have the most modern electrical and computer systems on them. However my wife has a 2021 year model Chrysler. One time I disconnected and reconnected the battery for some minor maintenance and the next time we cranked the dash lit up like a crashing 747. Every one of the driver aids systems, infotainment system, etc flashed a warning light. It took several rounds of cranking and driving before they finally self cleared.
I like your videos, but when you talk about something, please show what you’re talking about and not your face. No offense, but for example, nobody knows what freedom lights are, unless you actually point to it, and explain.

invalid code
The only channel that has a dedicated stream for this type truck. I appreciate it, huge fan!
Dedicated is an understatement 😂 I will have the Escalade and C8 content as well
Nice installation and video. I like the floorboard pattern you chose, but the oversized "Boost Auto Luma Step" label/badge has to go!
Nice product demo video.

Hey Doug. I would love to see what you did with those factory steps and the lighting.
I installed the underhood light kit you suggested on my GMC Elevation and it's a great idea and upgrade.
Added to my Sierra when Boost first released them. Great look. I get more compliments and interest in this addition than anything else.
I have had so many truck owners pay attention to them over pretty much everything else
All of the lights look awesome!
Also, I bet it was scary backing the Vette in there the first time. haha
Great to see an AT4 mod! 👍👊
It sure is! I still have lots to do
Great video and good looking steps.
Thanks. I was uncertain before the install. Now, no regrets
Excellent videos. I like how clean and proper your install videos are. I want a set like you have very nice. I have cheap opt5 ones. I got no complaints still on 2 years but those are much cleaner and I need new running boards. Keep it up
Thanks man 🙏
Great install phenomenal,(Outstiggy standing)!!!!!
Instructions should always start with "Crack open a Cold One". Ha Ha Ha Always Great Don, keep'em coming.
I will keep that suggestion in mind!
Those look really awesome! However, I still like my Amp power steps better - but, still cool! Thanks, Don! :)
I feel like there is so much customization you can do with the GMC compared to the Silverado. Whenever I watch your videos I regret my decision 😂
Endless road my friend 😊
A lot of things donslife has done to his gmc I have done to my Silverado. Very compatible. He has given me great ideas
Like I’ve always said, “I am showing you what’s available, so you can decide if it is something you’d want to do.”
@@ralphcatalano8288 I love his grill lights, but I haven't seen any Silverado with them. If you can link me please do.

@@Donslife Tks for trying. Nice vids.
Great video on the running boards man! Subbed!
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it
Can do you my AT4, great work all around
Thanks, very flattering
They look really good! I want to replace my sierra slt chrome rails with these, they look more aggressive! I'm looking to delete most of the chrome from my truck, this would be a good start, quick and easy! Thx for the video. 👁 ❤ 🛻
Love these do they do them for Ford rangers? I’m from the uk we don’t have the choice of other Ford trucks 🤦🏼♂️ that at4 wouldn’t fit on our roads 😂
Unfortunately, nothing for the Ranger that I can see. Thank you for watching the video
Ok thanks
Great Video.
Can these be connected still with light up front emblem tapped into driver side headlight already?
Yes
nice 55 chevy
I think so too!
‘56 Chevy Cameo

Where did you get the headlight plug and play harnesses.
From BoostAutoParts
Hey Don, those are pretty cool. I think I’m going to get me some too. I do have a question for you though. What wires in the left and right headlight harnesses are the turn signals?
I think if you download the instructions on Boost’s website for the wire tap installation, it would indicate that info there
Sweet. Thanks my man!
I have these running boards ordered. Also have the light up gmc logo. How do you run both of these together since they both use headlight for plug n play ?
Once you get your products in, it is just adding another plug inline. Mine is all hooked up simultaneously
@@Donslife appreciate it sir

Very nice. Question can it be use with the OEM bracket. I like to high step look better for my taste.
No they won’t, but I think something could be fabricated with some know how to bring them a little closer
Hello im working on a purchasing the Lumasteps .do you have a new discount code thanks

Will the boards retrofit onto the factory retractable running boards?
I don’t know anyone in my area with the factory retractable running boards to determine that
love the video, quick question if i choose to get the signal and running light option would i have to tap into the battery or would it just feed power of the plug and play harness that adapt to the headlights?
Can you do a 30 day durability check in them
I’ll do something. Just waiting for some snow

Never had an issue with disconnecting the battery on this truck, the 2022 Escalade yet. That would be pretty frustrating
@@Donslife Thanks for your reply. I have 2024 GMC on order and have several electrical mods planned. Glad to know that I won't be facing that issue.
How can I find the circuit amperage for like the cargo lamps ? On a 2023 Silverado
Try a multimeter by tapping the back of the light at the harness plug and turn the circuit on
@donslife do they stick past the tires ? I have wide wheels just want to see how they would look
They will stick out past the stock/factory tire stance. They line up with my current setup which is 1.5” wider (outwards) than stock
@@Donslife sounds good I have oddest wheel with 1/4 spacer so thry would look fine
Would these fit a Yukon at4?
I don’t think they have an option for you at the moment
Need them smoked
I can do that!

How far north? I have some pretty brutal weather where I live and I am not too concerned about them wearing out prematurely

Looks horrible
