I have a question. That black plastic flap with the rubber front edge kind of hanging down over the radiator, you can see it at 0:06. Where is the rubber edge supposed to fit when you put the bumper back on? I tried taking pictures beforehand, but the angle was too weird to see how it is supposed to fit when the bumper is installed. This is driving me crazy, I've had the bumper off twice now trying to make this thing fit properly. Thanks in advance for the help!
The customer that let us borrow this truck for prototyping has enjoyed off-roading trails and lots of dirt since this. We appreciate him helping us out.
Will this same type of setup work on the 24 Colorado? I dont want to do the behind the grill set up that you show for the 23-24 Colorado. I want a set up like this to fill the gap between the bumper and grill.
@@MandRautomotive I saw that kit. Like asked in the comment, would THIS set up work for the 24 Colorado? I want to take up the space between the grill and bumper... Not mount BEHIND the grill.
Is there a way to wire it so the amber stays on without connecting to an AUX switch until you flip it on for the white? What would happen if its wired as shown and you flip power to both switches, does it have a safety built in? Thanks!
If you put the amber on aux 6 and leave it always on, it will turn on with truck. And no splicing of anything. They are independent so the white will overpower the amber
Good job. But I might bite the bullet and spend the extra 200 bucks at the dealership to swap out my Front and Rear Emblems. Don't want to screw up my new 2024 Canyon.
Actually they look like shit, as they appear to be spot lights not flood lights! These would be a safety hazard if someone from oncoming traffic would be temporarily blinded. Lastly, I would not be surprised if they were not NTSB approved! I am a mechanic and I would also be concerned with Fords canbus system becoming disabled due to overload even if it was run on a relay with an external power source!
@@vigorFPS I'd hate to sell just brackets when I personally haven't tested them on other brand light bars. I know our light bars are unique in their depth allowing us to install them in tight spaces, such as between shutters (without touching them) and the grille.
@@MandRautomotiveok so its just waiting for voltage to drop before cycling power. I think if i wire a switch in between transformer and lightbar. And leave roof power on i should be able to just on/off when in use
Hey M&R. I put in the Reverse lights a week or so ago, and I had some criticism about the thoroughness of the instructions. I installed this light bar today, and these instructions were much clearer, and if weren't making them available for me to watch last month, I probably would not have purchased them. They were really straight forward....BUT it was still lacking in a couple areas. Your video shows removal of the harness with the grill, but 1. does NOT say "how" to disconnect the attachment (which lead to some fear of breaking the clip) and 2. did not mention removing the small hose to the camera washer. That would have helped during my install. Also, you mentioned the 8mm bolts, but did not mention that the attachment brackets required 10mm, nor did you mention needing torx screwdriver for the side brackets. Not "that big" a deal for a person that owns tools, but would be nice in the description to list "here's what's needed"...1, 2, 3, etc. Not being picky but as I mentioned, your pretty good instruction video is what encouraged me to purchase and install on my own Great Job. Next post is a link to my video on FB. Thanks again. Please let me know if you make something custom for the 3 amber marker lights or some top lights for my baja bar. 2 THUMBS UP!
Hi, its Mike here, the owner. Thank you for your detailed review. I will make sure to mention in upcoming install videos the tools the tools that I use. I guess I'm always under the assumption that the people that install it themselves, have some tools laying around. Now that I know that these install videos are giving someone like you more confidence about installing it yourself, which is ultimately what I would like. I appreciate it and thank you for your support. We are also learning what our customers would want from us.
@MandRautomotive the tools not being mentioned is minor. I just thought since you mentioned the 8mm you could mention others. I had more than everything I needed, but I like to lay everything out before I start. Not showing how to disconnect the harness and water hose was more important to me. I've broken so many clips in my life from not knowing the correct way to remove. I LOVED the showing of prying off bottom of grille and removing bumper. Not sure I would have attempted if you hadn't shown. Also liked taping bumper. I used brass connectors to connect covered with heat shrink for a smooth clean look. Did you get to see my pics/video?
Just got my light last week. I need to go get a few tools today but looking forward to it. Looks like a great install video and I really appreciate how in depth it was. I’ll let you all know how I make out. Cheers 🍻
@@MandRautomotive honestly I did it solo and then my buddy came over to help me when I realized I had to put the light bar on the highest part of the bracket (as in slide it up so it sits flush). Honestly the install was super easy and the product is superb. I may end up getting sold sort of switch panel sooner rather than later. But once again, thanks for the help. Subscribing/ liking man.
Could you guys do a demo of the white light on road, or on open terrain? It's kind of hard to see the range/throw of the light in a fenced in area. Thanks!
I have a problem with this video. I just took off an upper bumper cover like he shows. Mine was a 2022 Sierra. You cannot get to the tabs from below like he states. To release them, you very carefully have to put a small flat blade between the upper and the lower edge of the grille and push the tabs down to release them. It looks to me as if all of the release tabs on his cover are gone. It seems that GMC has gone above and beyond to make this as difficult as possible.
