Hey @ChrisFix! I just want to say thanks SO MUCH for your videos! I'm an 18 year old girl who knows absolutely nothing about cars and I've always been too scared to buy one, but with your videos I just got an amazing deal on my first car and it's in great shape! You also helped me prove my boyfriend wrong haha because I changed some brake pads, rotors, and did an oil change all by myself which was the coolest thing ever! So keep doing what you do because it's helping millions!! :)

Hey Chris I noticed that you said you used 14 gauge wire and the in-line fuse that you linked was gauged at 16, does this cause any issues down the road? I’m kinda new to wiring so I apologize if this seems like a dumb question.

So cool and so easy! I just ordered the parts to do this in my 2014 F-150. Thank you!

You are awesome kriss fix

As an electrician I’m going to use shrink wrap even over the butt connectors. Also I’ll use more zip ties just because I’m a sparky. 😂

Blinker fluid.... Lol

Wouldn’t the magnetic strip drain the battery over time?

All that work for some lights, damn.

Hey Chris, I'm trying to understand why the switch is setup on the ground on this install? Where it seems with other light installs the switch is setup on the positive? Please if you could explain? I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing

am the only one seen that big jucie nos

Your drawing is.... questionable XD

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're about as straight as the pipes in the Driftstang...

Cant you take power from something in the back? Lights, tow connector etc? And what a shoddy earth.

At 0:47 that looks like you can sleep in there! Also, Did I see NOS?!

Ma men has some nos in his truck

He still has his blinker fluid

Thank you for all the videos! You have given me the confidence to attempt and successfully complete multiple repairs on my cars.
I have a request, if possible, can you do a video on hardwiring dash cams to the fuse box? I know you have touched on some of the topics throughout various videos but seeing it all together would be great! Front/rear, license plate mount, running wires etc. Thank you in advance!

i now no the guys its the peplo that ask you to go on a rode trip with you

Could have gotten power from the wiring harness for the 4 or 8 pin trailer connector rather than running a wire all the way from the engine bay

Do you work on rc cars too. Lol 😂

I can't seem to find the micro magnet reed switch on Amazon. It's showing that it is currently unavailable. What is a suitable replacement for that part? Thanks

Man, for bigger led strips a driver would be good :O

me: Do not worry
europe: Do not worry
austrailia: Don't worry
2:36 chrisfix: Do not werry!

you definitely need that on a range rover

+10 hp

can we get a face reveal

All good apart from earth

Great project. I directly put this onto my bucket list for my truck. Regards from Thailand.

Hey I had a rx7 and I had to change the brake pads, oil pressure, new tires etc...and my parents said don't risk it you will end up ruining it but I worked on it for 6 hours and ended up with a rx7 that no one could tell that it was 4 years old
So thanks for the videos

Nice job, but what if you need to remove that plastic cover? Maybe better idea to put 2 connectors between metal and plastic part?

Hey @Chrisfix, I've been following your channel and projects for years, I've always been impressed by your willingness to demonstrate how to do things correctly and not take short cuts. Until this one. As always I was impressed in your methods and how you demonstrate the different way to do thing, crimp w/heat shrink, solder, you did miss in this case heat shrink with solder inside it already. However I was disappointed in the way you grounded the switch in this project. The ground is the point of failure with this project. It should have been tied into a ground point with a proper ring terminal similar to the way it was connected to the battery. the way you connected the ground will corrode or break in short order. apart from that good work, and I look forward to future project.

If the button has a little light on it, and you hook it up directly to the battery, won't it slowly drain it down?

You will probably never see this comment due to the HUGE number of comments. As an Electrical Engineer who is very particular about how I do things, you do an EXCELLENT instructional video dude! Well done.

The link to the LED strip is no longer valid on Amazon. Just a heads up.

That ground made me CRINGE!

Would the lights get damaged by water though?

Hahahahahaha

They don’t short out?

He did so good and then half assed the ground lmao

that trucks been at your house for 5 seconds and its already rusty, damn.

Damn good video man! 💪🏽😁👍🏽

too much work lmao i’d rather have a remote for it

Great video on how to install these LED lights. That gives me incentive to try it on some LED lights I haven installed because I didn’t know all the steps to do it. Looks easy enough. Thanks for the video!

You got the coolest vidoes

I know it is basically the same thing but I'd love an underglow or an interior ambient lighting kind of tutorial too! I want to work on my car and install led lighting on the interior so it looks like a luxury car with ambient lighting. And maybe underglow lights that activate when the closest door opens! (Left lights will turn on when left door is opened for instance.) I'd like to hear your ideas too Chris since you know a lot about cars and always have great ideas when it comes to these things! (I'd also love a rear camera or sensor install tutorial since my car has none and I might install them.)

can i run the power from my sub amp?

OIWJHBVTGYDHSU

What gauge wire should I buy to run from battery to switch

thats awesome

Good idea but poor execution...should have done two separate strips instead of leaving the exposed lights close to the cab

how do you add more LED lights in my 2019 Ford F-150 if they have some LED's in there already. Can you tap off those connections somehow? I would like to hook the lighting up to be music driven in the truck bed with various colors. Any thoughts?

Love it nice and tight profesional install

Bruh the stuff in the truck

I have zero intention of installing bed-liner lights, but that did not stop me from watching all 23 minutes of this video. Outstanding job!

Hey Chris can u do a how to do bed liner in a truck?. Plz 😭🙏🏽

Do you need a resistor/power supply unit or can they be connected directly to DC battery power? I've read that the LED not having resistance will burn them out quickly if direct to battery...

Getting rid of that plastic bed liner should have been the first mod.

He had a bottle of NOS in his truck...

Love the way you have explained it

Am I the only one that cringes with that ground connection? I mean after all that silicon, heat shrink and ring terminals to then terminate bare fragile ground wire strand on a thread like that.

So very cool. Very explicit step by step process on installation. I may do this to my truck.

The miscreant america additionaly employ because collar basally instruct among a grateful gratis bait. parsimonious, handsome increase

Thanks for the vid I got a truck tent and fallowed the vid so I could light it

why not just use the washer behind the liner so it looks professional?

Where you buy NOS

i would reccomend putting the switch before the lights on the positive side instead of after on negative

anyone know what kind of wires he used??

why did You not use waterproof LED stripes?

I always update my exterior and interior lighting to LED, can’t stand the old halogen lamp

I just saw BLINKER FLUID

This was a cool stuff i liked good job

Why is there a damn nitrous bottle

I didn't see the silicone that you were using in the description. I very well could have missed it. is it dialectic grease or is it actually a silicone gel or some sort? thanks

So nice to see Jacob and Yuri,...Great collabo

I am so going to do this under Stainless Steel top of my tool box. That way i can see in the back of the drawers.

Yo umm would a hair dryer work as a heat gun im a child so i wont do this stuff (not yet (= ) but would that work

Yo umm Chris fix i have an idea as a fun project maybe of you have the time and way more then enough money maybe you can buy an bus that needs repairs and then fix it up and customize it to your taste and make it a minihouse for long distance travels (probably would be expensive) so if you do make it only make it if you have way more then enough money although if you make it it would be hard and if you post a video of you fixing it may you not time lapse so we see everything you see and do but only do this if you have more then enough money and time

You could have ties into the trailer power in the back. It’s already back there, instead of running a wire all the way back there. The center spot on a 7-wire plug is always hot, as long as it’s connected at the battery. GM trucks come with the wire, but it has to be connected at the battery.

Why didn't you just use the bedliner as your switch washer? o.O just curious.

Any way to make it change color??

1:02xxxxR2FZGG-G2CDV2-5QLAB2

I can't be the only one irked that he did the whole job clean as hell then just threaded a bolt over a bare wire for the ground instead of a ring terminal, etc.

the sound of the cicadas in the background are so soothing. Late summer / early fall vibes.

Of course I subscribed.

Hey Chris, what was the wire you used? does it have to be 14 gauge?

I have a question, why didn’t you just steal power from the running lights in the rear. The LEDs should not interfere with running nor break lights etc...

Amazing detail as always!

Another great video, thanks for keeping it real! @AutoFixEZ

Hey ChrisFix, bought the stuff from Amazon, but the wiring diagram for the latch switch is different than yours. Can you say what each cable was for? C, NC, NO, etc?

im a kid i like your vids and i like cars

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz do a face reveal on 10 mil subs

What happeneds if it rains tho

Am I the only one that flinched when the dirt was falling from the frame😂

when you said you'll link everything in the description, is the drawing included as well?

I love my blinker fluid

HAHAH yup came from Canada Rust=Canada....

i bet 12341242340234 mil $ that nos bottle is real :)

I don't have all that stuff in my house, wtf
