Hey thanks for watching. This is George over at Wicked Warnings, your number one source
for construction and emergency safety and strobe lighting equipment for cars, vans, buses, bicycles,
tricycles, SUVs, everything in between. What we're looking at right now happens to be a brand new
2022 Chevrolet Silverado. This is a particular work truck, not a real high-end trim package at all,
just a basic Silverado and we went in the front there. What you're looking at is a three inch amber-white
SoundOff mpower. That's a real nice light. You can also get that light in straight amber
if you'd like. Those are the two in stock options we have now, straight amber or amber-white. The
amber-white of course will do a flood override. We're not using it on this truck but if you like
that feature. The location on the outer edges of the grille there, that was customer selected.
He liked to get it out to the edge of the grille there. Didn't mind drilling one single hole.
It was pretty self-explanatory. That light is a quick mount, meaning it has 3m adhesion tape on the
back of it. So I definitely would suggest using our primer promoter when you order this package. So I'm
gonna put one of those in the shopping bundle here for you. This particular build's very simple. We
just used our 22-5, 25 feet, to extend both of those mpower lights into the cab of the vehicle where
we're going to hook it up to our three-quarter inch switch. Our three-quarter switch grabs power
directly out of the driver's side fuse box. Very easy to do. So we'll just need a fuse tap, a three
quarter inch switch, two 3" mpowers, 25 feet of wire and some eighth inch heat shrink
tubing to complete the job. Here you can see how good those work off-axis.
This particular truck for GreenLine does a lot of remote stopping around. Doing different things at
different job sites so we wanted to make sure it was highly visible. Went with kind of an aggressive
pattern in the front. That's an intercycle pattern. That's the pattern we're using and it
is a color swap with an alternate color. So that pattern right there, very nice, very effective.
Alrighty, around the back, we kept it real simple by customer request. Just put amber hideaways in the
cargo and the reverse. Now we went ahead and sped up that pattern because these are the only four
rear-facing lights. So that's one of the more aggressive patterns where it bounces back and
forth quite fast. You can choose any pattern that you like. You can synchronize this any way that you
like and if you'd like to see some videos about how to install the hideaway into the cargo light,
as well as how to install the hideaway into these tail lights, we're going to link to those at the
end of the video, so you have all the information you're going to need to install the hideaways in
both of these locations. This is our LED HAW DUO in low dome in both spots but our ECO HAW
would work just fine and of course, we have all six colors. So if you wanted to go with a purple,
or a green, or blue, or red, or white, we have all of those available as well. We're going to include 50
feet of 18-5 that's going to allow you to extend your hideaway DUO control module from behind
this taillight here all the way forward. We're going to mount the other hideaway control module
right up here on the roof, right behind the third brake light, and we're going to install- we're going
to run the 18-5 forward being very careful of the airbag. I'm going to link you to a video on
how to run a wire from your third brake light forward as well. We have that video for you too.
We'll run that wire forward to our switch. At our switch location behind the dashboard, that's
where we're going to adjust our patterns, where we're going to do our synchronization, where we
would hook up our flood mode switch if we needed but we don't need one on this truck. It's just a
one switch install. Of course, our hideaways, they have flood mode too. So if you did this package
with white hideaway and you wanted all four of those to come on steady, maybe for loading a
trailer, maybe if somebody was tailgating you, you never know. So you can set up a secondary switch
for the flood mode. That's absolutely up to the installer when they install it.
So as I said, we mounted our module for our rear hideaways right here. We run the wiring
up the frame. We pop it right through the floor rubber grommet of the emergency brake cable.
We use our wire insertion tool to get through that grommet. I'll go ahead and post a link here
and we come through the factory grommet, which is very easy to see on the factory wiring loom. There
is a nipple on the underside of the hood where your wire goes into the factory wiring loom and
it comes out right underneath the dash. You don't need to drill the holes on these. If you'd like to
drill a hole, I have a video and some pictures also of where you can drill your own hole if you wanted
to run more wiring than you could fit through the factory grommet but the factory grommet
in these trucks from GM, it gives you about 3/8 to a half inch of space through the rubber grommet
to run your auxiliary stuff. So overall, it's a pretty large area and we've been utilizing it
more and more instead of drilling the holes. I'll show you forward here where we did our switch.
Now here's the switch. I'll go ahead and turn the ISO back to bright for you. Turn this on and you
can see in here. Try to get my focus going. Sorry about that. There we go. There's our switch. Now we
choose this location quite often because this is right where the factory auxiliary switches
are gonna mount. So that's where your factory switches would be. So it's a good spot. It's
convenient right on the left-hand side and if you feel around after you remove this panel, you can
get behind there, you'll see that there's a great big square cut out of the framework behind there.
It's quite nice to run your wires. So you know, it worked out real well that way. Now in the side
panel here, you're going to find power right there. We put our fuse tap there. We've got metal to
ground to right in there as well. It is no big deal. Very easy procedure. Let me poke you underneath the
hood and I'll show you what I was talking about that factory pass-through
and what I'll do is I'll try to get underneath here and show you where it's coming through under
here. If I can even see it, I'm not sure. See it? It's up in there. Oh, there it is. So if you can see
right there, you can see our split loomed wire. It's coming right out right there through the factory
pass-through. So and then we just- we took it up here and trying to pan out for you a little bit.
We took it up here. We came across the back here and then we're going over there to our switches.
So I'll show you where that is, where that connection is right there or where that
pass-through is rather. Let me show you under the hood. Alrighty, there's that. Can pass through
right there and you can see right there, we've left the nipple in place.
We like to cut the bottom and leave the upper part just as a little bit of a watershed.
You can also put a zip tie around there. Try to leave as much of the nipple on there as you can.
That way, you can zip tie it around the wires or it'll help to shed the water. Always bring your
wire, always bring your wire out and down. We're following the factory loom which comes out and
down and the reason you do that is to prevent water from just wicking down the wire right into
the cab of the truck. Now if water was to come down, it's going to hit the lowest point of the
wire down here and drip off. It's not going to go into the truck and fill the foot well with water.
So always out of the firewall and down. That way, you don't have any water intrusion and basically
this is very simple. We loosened up the grille. We pulled the grille forward.
There's a couple of pieces of plastic to drill some holes through and we ran the wiring right
up here between the headlight and it comes around here underneath inside of here. It's a
fairly easy process to do that and there's the shop phone ringing. So with that, I'm gonna end
this video so I can pick up the phone and talk to one of you guys. Thanks again for
watching Wicked Warnings I'll speak to you soon.
HAW DUO and SoundOff mpower.
