I have a set up similar to yours on my Tacoma. Spots facing forward with ditch lights on the side. I also have the Auxbeam 8 gang switch. I wired my ditch lights to 2 separate switches. I see you're in Florida, as am I. When driving back from Okeechobee on Hwy 70 late at night, the deer get pretty close to the road. I only need to see the right side of the road, so I can just switch on that side for the ditch lights. I appreciate your video. I've tried so many different ditch lights and I just bought the fog/side beams from harbor freight. Debating on getting the spots as current ones it seems about 30% of the light bounces off the hood.
Very nice job! When can you do mine? That’s exactly what I need. I had a 2016 Colorado Ext Cab Z71 4x4, V6, I traded for a 2019 Colorado Crew Cab 4x4, WT, V6. The price difference between the two is almost $5k! The only differences are no heated leather trimmed seats, 8” touch screen with Nav/Bose, Z71 trim pieces with black grill, but most importantly no projector type headlights and fog lights, that real helped when entering a dark corner/turn. What I did get was a fine 7” touch screen with OnStar 4G LTE WiFi, chrome grill, HD vinyl seats and flooring, with reflector type headlights with no fog lights. So I’ve replaced the halogen bulbs with MORIMOTO TWO STROKE H11/ low beams and 9005/high beams, that made a world of difference turning night into day, within the sidewalks and the road ahead for at least a football field and then some, but nothing to light up the entrance to corners, without the fog lights. But I don’t want lights above the hood, I’m looking to add fog lights to the stock mounts in the bumpers corners. Wired directly to the fuse box under the hood. Otherwise I’ll need to get the OEM headlight switch and have the dealer re-program the computer to get them to work. My dilemma has been with the expense aftermarket parts for quality lights, that actually illuminate. But now after seeing how these very reasonable Harbor Freight light work? Now all I’ll need is some type of mount, to mount to the stock mount molded into the bumper.
If you haven’t already, you should look into some blockers that will limit the amount of lights seen in your back up camera from the license plate lights
I have 2 Rigid light pods on my hood like that. The output from those make my headlights not even noticeable. But at $130 a piece, they better be better than anything from harbour freight.
Nice video and I liked how you pointed out the hard parts on the install I just installed my Ram adventure rear bumper from AmericanTrucks on my Ram classic. How is the whistling from the pod lights. That’s a concern of mine. As I noticed my GoRhino sport bar does start whistling at 70/75mph (I live in Texas so speed limits 70/75/85 are common in my area)
You can pick up a set of license plate lights that have a shield built in (or build a set) to keep the light off the camera. I realize these light cut through but it would still be an improvement. Just a thought. Have a great day and be safe out there!
For ditch lights mounted to the hood like you did, would you recommend the spot or flood version of theses? I only want to put one set on my truck. Great video, thanks!
For ditch lights I would probably do the flood version, I have two lights on each side (so 4 total on the hood) one set is spot and they are facing basically straight forward. And the outer paid are pointed at about a 45° angle outwards and down. That set is a flood pair and they both work great.
Wouldn’t you just be able to flip the 180 degrees to change the LH/RH issue? But to be honest for what they charge it should having the 3 extra LED’s per light
It was in the books when I made the video, at this point I now have aftermarket blacked out projectors installed. I still plan on doing the morimoto fog light kit.
The wiring harnesses, these lights don’t come included with them so I bought a couple reels of wire and made my own that then went to the relay box I have under the hood.
I don’t know much about motorcycles, but if there is 12v power I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work. You would most likely just need to get a mount that works!
@@AmitSaini-zm7swonly depends on if your alternator can power them. Need to check on how much extra power you have available after everything else is running.
