@FieldGuidetoDIY Any chance you can get more direction on the wiring? This is excatly what I want do but do not know the wiring diagram.

@jtthomas1 Год назад

I appreciate the details in this video, so the lack of explanation of the wiring is odd! Did you cut the plugs off and just wire in the red and black from the left and right? How did you determine the pos/neg of the white and blue wires you spliced into?

@davidrakes7463 Год назад

Eddie - Could you provide a more accurate detail of the wiring splicing! I want to do this mod, but I'm very unsure of the electrical connections.

@wusunforever Год назад

me too! i am a girl who is about to do this the first time of my life, did you cut off the switch? or tide it together with the wires and tuck in?

@Pete.Ty1 Год назад

👍👍👍 Nice, Thanks Eddie.

@FieldGuidetoDIY Год назад

Thanks so much for watching Pete!

@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984 7 месяцев назад

Hmm, my xl Maverick does not have The LED side bed light and switch that you showed in the first 30 seconds. Can this project still be done using the wires within the screw off panels?

@FieldGuidetoDIY 7 месяцев назад

Certainly. You just lose the convenience of the switch.

@illmazing Год назад

How did you modify the wiring for the switch?

@06VistaBlueGT1 10 месяцев назад

Since you didnt really explain how you connected the passenger side to rhe drivers side, I'm ti assume you ran it under the truck theough a grommet hole and behind the hitch? I am with the others. Would love to see yow you wired this up completely. Wish it was explained better.

@FieldGuidetoDIY 6 месяцев назад

I did not. I ran it across over the truck frame and zip tied it down.

@franciscojavierhidalgomart1550 5 месяцев назад

There is one problem with that. You could connect the driver side and it works but once you connect the passenger side then it stop working probably because the two strips are too much along with the built in led. That is the reason why wiring is not explained properly and its because it doesn't work!

@cecilfreeman6147 8 месяцев назад

Do you have the spray in bedliner? I have the factory spray in bedliner and I'm wondering how well the LED light strips will stick?

@FieldGuidetoDIY 8 месяцев назад

Cecil, I too have the factory-equipped bed liner and the adhesive really holds. It has been rained on and frozen. Thanks so much for watching!

I don't think the "Lack of Explanation is Odd" like someone say here but I do think this video wasn't made by the person who is talking over the voices on the background. That is probably why he has answered all of the questions in the comments but has ignore the ones about WIRING because I don't think he knows how the WIRING really goes...

@FieldGuidetoDIY 5 месяцев назад

Okay, okay. I will do a more detailed version of this project and cover the questions. I promise. Coming soon!

@@FieldGuidetoDIY I don’t think that a new video needs to be made but even if just opening the console and posting pictures of how the Wiring is set.

Hello. Would you like to put our 100 watts led headlight bulbs on your truck and make a RU-vid video for them?

Yes. I would love to check them out. DM me at FieldGuidetoDIY at gmail dot com. Thanks so much for watching and thanks for reaching out.

You are quite welcome. Glad to help. Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues.

@JohnDoe-xo7gg 5 месяцев назад

Can you cut these lights down to size, say, if I didn’t want the excess wrapped around the back?

@FieldGuidetoDIY 5 месяцев назад

It does not appear these lights are "trimmable" without significant electrical modifications. If you find a way, please let me know.

@JohnDoe-xo7gg 5 месяцев назад

@@FieldGuidetoDIY I’ll definitely look into it! I’d like to get them and wired in soon!

@franciscojavierhidalgomart1550 5 месяцев назад

Does your light turn on when the truck is running? If I try to turn the cargo light when the car is running it just blinks, also they cannot be turned on right after turning the truck off, have to wait at least 3 minutes to turn it on…

Was thinking of doing the same mod except with using T cap connector to spice into the wires. Any idea what guage the wire to the built-in led is? Awesome video. Only one I could find on youtube that utilized the existing switch in the truck bed.

@FieldGuidetoDIY Год назад

That may work for you. I've never used a T cap connector. As for the wiring gauge, I don't know for sure but it looks to be about 28. Let me know how your project goes. Thanks so much for watching.

@whasian1487 Год назад

@@FieldGuidetoDIY completed the other day! T capped black and green wire to positive on LED and the other wire to negative wire on LED. It's a 16 foot LED that I'll wrap around the bed. I haven't stuck it up yet but I'll trim the LED cable so there isn't unnecessary length.

@@whasian1487 great job! Thanks again for watching.

@@whasian1487 would you be able to provide some direction on the wiring? I have the T cap connectors just not sure what to connect where.

@whasian1487 5 месяцев назад

@@JoshBaumer I have a lariat with the led and switch box already installed. The built-in LED controlled by the switch has wires going to it. Tcap into the black and green wire. This will feed the positive side of your LED strip. The other wire can be tcapped as well and this can be connected to the negative side of your LED strip.
