How are you doing everybody? Thanks for watching. This is George at Wicked Warnings, your
number one source for construction and emergency strobe lights and safety
equipment for cars, trucks, vans, boats, buses, bicycles, tricycles, SUVs, and
everything else in between. As you can see by the front end, we've got a brand
new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado in here. This is a fairly based model, single cab
long bed, done up in white. Needed a nice contractor-friendly four-corner amber
system and if you haven't seen the grille of this truck in person yet, go
ahead to your local Chevy dealer and take a look. A little bit funky to try to
mount anything in the grille. So what we have on the front of this truck is our
new Mini Thin in amber. It's just a slightly smaller version of our popular
Thin-X lights, called a Mini Thin and I want to advise you now to check the
description of this video for links to each one of these products. It'll take
you back to our website where we have a fully stocked store and you can click
the link and get to each one of these products right on the website, so you can
read more and look into buying these for your truck. If you'd like to buy the
entire package, there's a link for that also. So once again, all of the links for
everything shown in this video, are in the description. We chose to alternate
the front Mini Thins. We mounted them right up in the grille there. As you can
see with a little lower head on shot, they provide a real nice forward warning.
There's six LEDs in each one of these lights and when you alternate them
full-on like this, you get a nice alternating pattern. You can also choose
if you'd like, to split three by three each light and that way, you can have
each light alternating in itself and never have the darkness when the
light alternates. Right now on each side, you have a couple seconds of darkness. If
you use the split pattern, both lights will be alternating inside themselves
basically, so you never have that slight darkness.
Pardon the little salt residue but here in the grille, you can see in that
particular spot, I got lucky. I found some plastic that was behind the grille that
was just perfect for mounting either our new Mini Thin, or our TIR -3, or our LIN-6
also fit there but I chose to use this light because I like how it
recesses back behind the grille and there is plastic right there for these two
mounting screws and there is actually a void for the wiring. So it ended up
working out really nice to mount these lights right there in the grille and as I
pan out, I can kind of show you that's the location on each side. You can see
right there and that's what we're doing as far as mounting those. Now since this
is a newer truck and I know sometimes you guys like when I show you where to
go through the firewall. Most of the major wiring is ran
through the passenger-side firewall but if you want to drill a hole, you can
drill a hole right here, right above that factory cable going through and you can
see there where we did. Basically, right there, that's our hole. It's not the
easiest hole. You can kind of see how the the bit skipped around a little bit
there. You can tell if I zoom in. It wasn't exactly the easiest to drill. I
used a very long extension but we did get to drill a hole, put a nice grommet
in there and now if we need to run anything else to the driver's side, it's
very easy. So here inside the firewall, you can see where our grommet pops
through and our wire's coming through and that's where you're gonna end up coming
through when you drill that firewall right there. Let me show you around the
back of this thing and show you what I did but before I do that, I'll show you
the switch. Here in the cab, we just kept it real simple right here.
Took advantage of an unused blank. That's probably a factory option, I'm sure that
goes there but we went ahead and just mounted our switch right there. Very
convenient and for ease of power, we just borrowed a little bit of power from our
factory cigarette lighter which is not ignition fused, just FYI.
As you can see, that switch will work without the ignition. So that's how we
did it on this truck. Your results may vary but take it for what it's worth.
That's what I did here. Alrighty, so around the backside here, we got our
standard taillights and we put a LED HAW DUO. Our LED ECO HAW will also work too.
Either one of our HAW lights will work fine in these reverse lenses and I am
going to attach a photo of the back side of that lens to the end of this video, so
you can see where I drilled my hole and you will need to seal that hole rather
well with some RTV silicone sealant. Reason being is where you need to drill
the hole isn't exactly perfectly flat but I did that way because I don't know
if you can tell, it's hard to see now because of the flashing but they're actually
angled slightly upward and slightly outward. And that way, it'll get you the
best flash off of the whole lens. You could elect to try to mount these in
straight from the side and bend the wire on the Hideaway over but that might
damage the wire and it might not do very well for backward warning and probably
be putting most of the warning straight sideways. So I think this location is
what we're gonna use on these 2020s and I think it works quite well and
hopefully it helps you at the end when you see the picture. Once again, thanks
for watching. This is George at Wicked Warnings, here with a brand new 2020
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and you can check the links in the description for
