You mentioned that the black pods have both the spot light and flood light feature built in but on Auxbeam's page you have to select one or the other. Have they changed the pods? I also didn't see a way on your setup to toggle between the two settings.

I meant you can buy a set that do one function or the other. Sorry if I didn’t make it clear.

Hey Don, is there any wind noise (whistling) at highway speeds?

@jameslucas4181 2 года назад

Question for ya? You’ve had both the cold air inductions intake and are running the s&b intake now, still…which do you recommend? I have a new Silverado trail boss, 2022 6.2 liter, the refresh model…overall, is one more noticeable with power gain and fuel efficiency or anything you had noticed and give a unbiased opinion….also I have the awe dual exhaust quad tips if that matters…

@Donslife 2 года назад

For a truck like that and the extra grunt, the S&B for sure. The CAI fits the personality of our Escalade 6.2 better. Both are excellent products

I wonder if you could just use the cargo light button already on the truck

@Donslife Год назад

You could as a trigger, yes. The lights would have to use their relay and grab power from the battery and just use your cargo circuit to tell the relay when to open and close

@DIYGUY-AT4 Месяц назад

I just hooked up my Auxbeam pod lights just like you did, option 2. I left the relay in place, twisted the red & yellow wires together and hooked them to the + terminal in my 12 gang Auxbeam switch and the black to -. Once I put the inline fuse back in the lights came on without anything on or running and I can't turn them off. Where did I go wrong?

@Donslife Месяц назад

Sounds Like you wired up right to the live (always on +) connection. Don’t combine the yellow and red. One is for the relay to get power from the battery. The other is to be connected to one of the switches to signal the relay to let the power through

Have you come across anything in your mods/accessories including possible future purchases…. Anything that can bypass that 8 second camera timer while moving. I took my at4 off-roading and I was 1-2km above the speed requirement and it kept turning off. Extremely annoying. Should be enabled with no timer on off-road mode. In my opinion

Nothing yet. I think it is a coding thing. No hacks that I am aware of

@carllacroix590 9 месяцев назад

Hi Sir , Can you confirm me you only connect the black wire to the auxbeam panel ? You dont connect the white and yellow from the switch harness anywhere. And do you solder the black wire with a #16 wire to make a tight fit into the auxbeam panel instead of you small black wire . Thank you !

@carllacroix590 9 месяцев назад

@Donslife

@Donslife 9 месяцев назад

It all depends if you want to use relays that might have come with the lights. Otherwise you just connect the white to + and black to - on the auxbeam panel. You can combine both lights into one switch

@carllacroix590 9 месяцев назад

Yes that what I want to do , use the existing relay and harness that came with the auxbeam pods . I connected the red wire that usually goes to the battery, in slot number 1 . But the pods aren’t working. I’ll connect the white and black wire into the same slot number 1 into the auxbeam panel . Correct ? Thank for your help !

Does this leave a glare in your vision while driving from the lights hitting the hood?

Not overly but it will depend on the way the beam projects from the pod-light.

@MikelM06 Год назад

I completed this install this weekend. Thanks so much for the details. There is one question I have and I can't figure it out. I hooked it up just like you did I also have an aux beam switch and left the relays on the pod lights (your Option 2) . I removed the incline fuse while doing the electrical and then installed it back in place. When I installed the fuse the lights turned on. The truck wasn't running, Auxbeam 8 gang was off, but the cube lights were powered on. I took the inline fuse out and the lights went off. With the fuse out everything now works as it should, lights turn on and off with the Auxbeam switch. did you not show this in the video? Is there a problem with not having the inline fuse installed, why did it turn on when its wired through the switch? I'm hooked up to the first fuse that's a 5 in the Auxbeam just like you did. Thanks,

@Donslife Год назад

I am not sure what is contributing to the issue. But to answer your question, the auxbeam has its own fuse for each switch location so you’re protected from that front.

@MikelM06 Год назад

@@Donslife Thanks so much for the response. I will just leave it out should be good as long as it's protected. Can't get enough of the videos. I have become good friends with the Fedex/UPS drivers lately. My wife thanks you for that ;).
