In this video I install some LED Tailgate step lights on my GMC Sierra AT4. Super easy to install even without instructions. I also have a cargo light mod installed from boostautoparts which allows my unlock to trigger the cargo lights.

@Donslife Год назад

They are designed to work with the cargo light. Way before I did this install, I did a cargo light mod that turns them on with the reverse lights or fob unlock at night

@stevedemarest276 2 года назад

Don, I would have figured you to go for the Kicker kit. Great vid, thanks for posting.

@Donslife 2 года назад

I thought so too, but I feel it would take a beating in our -40 climate. Speaker voice coils may not survive since they’d be frozen for 6 months a year

@mattp9653 2 года назад

I've got the Kicker kit, picked up my truck in February so will have to wait and see how they fair next winter....but I have to say that they are quite disappointing. My JBL charge 4 Bluetooth speaker probably sounds better.

@Donslife 2 года назад

I used to be a big car audio guy, and there is nothing about that large hollow tailgate space that would make it a good enclosure for speakers. In my opinion

@mattp9653 2 года назад

Yeah there is zero low end, but the speakers do sound clear. I've been considering taking the Kicker system out to install the lights. With work I'm constantly opening/closing my tailgate and it still blows my mind how much heavier the tailgate is vs my 2014.

@user-el3ch7my2y 10 месяцев назад

Liked your video. Good instructions. I am having difficulty disconnecting the plug that’s connected to the back of the tailgate. Unlocked the plug and still difficult to disconnect Any advice how to disconnect Thanks in advance.

@bradlanders6537 Год назад

Hey Don. I recently purchased a 2023 Sierra AT4 and it’s all that I wanted and more. I have been following you for some time now and am hoping to do some of the mods you have done to my own. I have a few light mods on order from Boost Auto (fog light and cargo lamp in reverse kits) and also have installed the Amazon special multipro tailgate lights which work great except not like yours. In your video you unlock your truck with your key fob and the cargo lights in your box come on as well as your tailgate lights. I installed mine exactly the same as in your video (which is the only way you can) however my box cargo lights come on but not the lights on the tailgate. They do come on with the switch in the cab however so I know they have power and are working. Did you do other modifications to make this happen on yours or I wonder if there is something different between a 2021 and a 2023.

@Donslife Год назад

Mine come on because of the cargo light mod working with the reverse lights. So when it is dark enough outside and I press unlock, they’ll come on momentarily

Are you gonna do the tailgate speakers at some point?

@Donslife 2 года назад

I am not going to say never, but with the colder weather here for 6 months a year, I don’t know if they’d survive or get used often. I have a stereo system in the garage, boat and holiday trailer too

They worked fine on my truck the only thing I noticed is that my tailgate cargo light no longer turns on . Should I try buying another wiring harness ?

@Donslife 2 года назад

I would unplug and see if the cargo light works again without the install. That’s where I would start

I installed them on a 2022 Sierra Denali, they do not come on by pressing the key, neither does the light next to the camera. They only come on if I push the bed light button inside the cab, or turn on the bed camera. I uninstalled them and the light next to the camera only turns on with the switch or camera. Is this normal?

@Donslife Год назад

I have a BoostAutoParts.com mod for the cargo lights that will make all of the rear facing lights come on with the reverse lights. It was also dark above my front window (light sensor) so the lighting all came on with the unlocking of the doors. Super simple mod if you want that feature

@cgrierwv75 9 месяцев назад

I installed these and I can’t get them to come on when unlocking. They seem to only come on when hitting the button on the inside for cargo lamps. My bed lights come on with unlock but not the step lights. Any ideas?

Yes I have this cargo light mod installed too: Cargo Light Mod GMC Sierra & Chevrolet Silverado ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8iX2Tyrry18.html

added the step lights today to my 2024 1500 Sierra. these lights only come on when I hit the cargo light button on dash. Do not come on when I hit unlock button on remote, no light on tailgate on no cargo cab light on . Am I missing something

That’s an extra mod I added before that works with the key fob.

So mine only work when I turn the cab light on or the you know the bed cab light if I just hit locker unlock they do not turn on is on the dash and turn on the cab light for the step lights to turn on

@Donslife 11 месяцев назад

I also added a mod from Boost auto parts that turns on all of the rear facing lights including the back up lights when I unlock the truck with the fob, or push the cargo light button. If it is too bright outside, only the cargo button will trigger it since the ambient light sensor on the dash senses it is too bright outside.

The lights only come on if you have the cabin lights turned on (just like that rear camera light), whereas, the bed LED lights always torn on during the unlock process...

@MADDOG100ful Год назад

Just installed mine also had the wrong plug that was easy to fix take an exacto knife there's a little Channel or a blocker that doesn't line up just cut that off then it plugs right in but the lights black Frameworks were very junkie when I first cliped them into place it was very sloppy, so I only did one at a time but then, I could not get it to come back out without actually breaking the tabs off because it's such a hard plastic not flexible like the factory inserts. So then I went ahead and took double-sided black 3m body trim tape and went around the edge and along with a little bit of black silicone to make them fit much tighter.... if you put them in with nothing they're very sloppy and loose so be sure to take tape and silicone them around the edges before you put them in because when you pop them back out it is very difficult to do so without breaking the little tabs off mine came out of the state of Georgia from Apollo LED inc from an ebay seller I believe.

@Donslife Год назад

I feel lucky mine are still holding their positions despite me suspecting they could eventually pop out. I intended on adhering them at some point, but they haven’t been a problem yet

I tried for an hour to disconnect the inner tailgate light. Yes I moved the red snaplock backward, however your "squeeze and pull" description needs to be better defined. I had to watch another video for what it is, that needs to be "Squeezed". However it was too late and now I have to have the dealership rewire that plug.

@Donslife 6 месяцев назад

Sorry man, lots of viewers claim the instructions were just fine. I could have been more specific and stated to move the red tab lock out of the way so that the tab can then be squeezed or depressed to release the plastic clasp all while gently pulling the cable free from the receptacle.

@Lerchcon 2 года назад

So middle of the day I just did this mod. Then when I pressed unlock my lights in tailgate didn’t come on. Sensor must sense daylight. At night it worked and turned tailgate light on when unlock is pressed.

@Donslife 2 года назад

You’re ambient light sensor would be the culprit

@Lerchcon 2 года назад

So I waited until night and the only way that light comes on is if I press the button in the cab for the bed lights. I played around with it and can’t figure out how yours worked. I wonder if it is an added feature if you have all the cameras? I have a pretty loaded AT4 just not all the cameras. I just have rear camera with trailer cam. Not sure. Oh well. It would be nice if it worked when I drop the tailgate without having to press the light button on the left side above the headlight knob

As much as these trucks cost you think they would have put that in there already it would have cost them (GMC) a whole three or four dollars per truck. And a switch that automatically turns them on when the tailgate is opened!
