2007 LBZ Duramax Gets A Starlight Headliner!!! 

@@tunertorquetv thanks dad

I knew I recognized the truck I see you on tiktok all the time. Guess that means Braden is also from Sask I didn't know that

What company is the starlight kit

If you don't mind sharing, What tool are you using to Poke the holes through?

How much does it cost 🤔

I got each set of 1000 fiber optic light kit for $284. You can add shipping to it and labor costed me a total of $700 to install all 3000 but the outcome is a killer! I wish I could post a video here.

Been holding up great! Works perfect just like the day it was installed!

Im sure if it breaks as its a machine you can just replace and get a new machine and plug it in without having to worry about putting new fibre optics!

Thanks! So the fibers do light up, however in this application there isn’t any cracks or seams in the plastic trim where you can see the fibers shining though. They are totally hidden

If you’re worrying about light transmitting through your pillars then use a black bag and duck tape it from the top so it wont slide down or you could easily give the same bag in which they came wrapped two coats of black pain

They work off the same remote. So when you hit a function on the remote both kits do the same thing

It’s the oem dvd player

I think 900 would be perfect. I used 2 450 piece kits

Absolutely you can, I suggest getting something with some stretch, but not as much as a spandex type material. Also keep in mind you need it to be wide enough to cover the whole headliner

@@bradenrein do you have a link or something where you got your fabric?

Link is in the description for the kit I used

There isn’t a specific name or brand for it. The fabric store I bought it at called it automotive trunk liner material.

Just a switch tapped into a constant power source with a relay. Simple 12v circuits

I’m about to do the same exact set up as you did have everything in. Going to start on it tomarrow more then likely. I have a crew cab just like in the video but with no sunroof and DVD player. How did you separate the strands where there is 2 different strands of fiber optic. I don’t want to have my headliner green on one half and red on the other half. And my other question was how did you Measure out your head liner where it looks like a graph. Sorry for long questions. I just want to do this right and just like yours thanks so much!!!

Take length and divide by 5, take width and divide by 4, that determines the square size. Then draw the lines. Then say you have two 450 piece kits, take 450 and divide by how many squares you have. That determines how many strands you need in each square per each kit

@@bradenrein thanks man I’m about half way done!!!!!

I wasn’t the one that purchased the kits, but I believe this is the correct link to the kits used on Amazon: AKEPO 16W Fiber Optic Lights Optical Fibre Star Ceiling Light Kit RGBW APP+Music Control Car Home Use, Sound Sensor Light Source with 28key RF Musical Remote and Fiber Cable 450pcs 0.75mm 9.8ft/3m www.amazon.ca/dp/B07PDFR46X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_RQ96FbZNHEN74

@@bradenrein whats the difference in 16W to 32W ?

I would recommend getting another headliner so you can still drive the truck while putting in the strands and glueing and such, then when you have the headliner complete, you can swap it out in a day or two. Also I’d recommend the 860 kit. The 900 we did almost seems like a touch too much in my opinion, but I love it

I think you’d be totally ok doing a 450 piece! Personally 900 is border line overkill in my opinion

None at all actually. I’m sure if you leave them on for hours and hours they could get warm. But not dangerously hot a

Absolutely!

They are wired together so there is no footage of only half of them working. They are wired through a switch and relay with constant battery power from the fuse box in the dash

Was about a week off and on during the evenings

For now it’s wired to a simple toggle switch that is hooked to the battery. There isn’t a ton of amperage draw with these kits so we didn’t do a relay setup. Future setup will include a switch panel with relays

We used needles that are intended for giving shots to dairy cows, just what we had on hand. A straight pick would also likely work

Just one

I don’t have a shop, this is all for personal use! I would probably charge around 1000 for this specific one with the headliner recovering

I’ve heard anywhere from $800-$3000. All depends what you want done

Actually both kits use the same frequency for the remote so when you hit the button on one remote both kits do the same function

I imagine it would be

@@bradenrein I appreciate the response. I have a really dumb question. I just bought a Ford Expedition with the panoramic sunroof. Do you think there is any way of installing lights through the movable sunroof shade?

I don’t think there is. I wouldn’t want the strands caught up in the sliding mechanism

@@bradenrein Yeah I finally found a good video of the whole apparatus. I do disco, karaoke late night Uber. I am thinking I will fabricate a "disco floor of infinity mirrors" just below the glass in the recessed space. Far easier and probably removeable. I will do the starlight lights on the rest of the headliner. I don't suppose you have done more of these professionally? I like your grid and consistency method and would rather hire someone and spend my time programming led strips.

I have not done any professionally, only done a few for friends. Don’t really have the time to offer such services

I’ve heard anywhere from $500-$5000

They are Amazon kits, I don’t have the exact link. They can both be paired separately but using the same app

Here’s a link to what we used, although any side cutters will work. They are very easy to cu www.homedepot.com/p/KNIPEX-7-in-End-Cutting-Pliers-68-01-180/205333652

Sorry I only do it for myself

Video description has been updated with the link

@@bradenreinhey brother about how much fabric did you use for the roof? Not sure how many yards I would need for mine. I have Same truck

Honestly not too sure. We had a ton of man hours into it!

@@bradenrein right on just curious because I’m in love with idea of it but no way in hell I could actually do it on my own...suppose I can make some connections in my area and see if anyone would even do it

Hey just gotta believe in yourself!! It’s not a hard job, just tedious and time consuming. If you have the tools and the motivation, there’s nothing stopping you!

My buddy works at a shop and they charge 3000 and up for this installation at their garage. So DIY is def the way to go

@@aaronemblem266 in L.a. I got a quote for 1400 parts and labor 🙁

The modules came with 12v adapters which we have wired into a simple toggle switch
