How's everybody doing and thanks for tuning in to Wicked Warnings, your number one source for
construction and emergency safety strobe lighting equipment for cars, vans, buses,
bicycles, tricycles, unicycles, wheelchairs, SUVs, and brand new '23 Silverado 1500's just like this.
Alrighty, so what are we looking at anyways? Right here on the front of this grille, we
did have to drill two holes but we mounted our three inch mpower quick mount there with
the VHB and the VHB primer. Real nice light, works very well. It's very easy to wire the
two leads from the back of those lights right through the firewall via a drilled hole with a
three-quarter inch grommet. We synchronized those lights right behind the switch that we put in the
dashboard of this truck and joined the powers and grounds behind that switch as well. So these lights
mount very easily with a 22-5 extension wire running right inside to the switch.
Alright let me talk about that switch a little bit. That's the switch right there.
I'll go ahead and turn it off so you can see it a little bit better. Now you don't have to have a
full illumination red like this. We just did that because the truck is beautiful in red but that
particular location is a nice spot for a switch, right there by the headlights and everything else
and this panel here does come down. Makes it easy to get up behind there and kind of do what
you got to do, This panel is kind of a pain in the butt though. I didn't take that one off. I just took
this one below it. Let me show you down under here where you're going to need to drill the firewall
on this truck if you do. Where we went through is right there. So I like that spot. Do be careful.
That's a three-quarter grommet that we have right there and that's where we drilled and we brought
both of those grille lines right through it, as you can see there. Now as far as your power, where did
we get power for this switch? When you fold this down, you'll see a fuse box with a bunch of metal
in it that has battery power. You're simply going to run your fuse kit right from that box right
up to the back of the switch. It was very easy. You don't need to go to the battery and as far
as ground, there's a very nice factory ground stud right behind here for all of your grounding needs.
So this inside is fairly easy to do. Let's kick this back on and show you what the rear looks like.
Do always keep in mind these stickers on used vehicles. If you see them, then they were through
my shop. Alrighty, now around the back, we built to spec. This owner really likes the amber
lights underneath the tailgate. So that's what we gave him. That's two 28-inch Thin-X Strips set
on spastic, actually it's just a fast alternating pattern in amber and they are set in 28 -inch lengths
because you can fill basically the whole bottom of the tailgate there with light. Now it is an amber
white product. So if you wanted white flashing, you could but on this build with red and his branding
being reflective amber, I figured all amber looks a little nicer and it's quite bright the way it
is. Below it is a three inch mpower just like up front but on a faster more aggressive alternating
pattern, just to add a little bit more stress and importance to the rear of this truck because as
I said, things are going down if this guy's around. So if you see the lights flashing, make sure you
give them some space and this was all we wanted to do on this particular vehicle. I like to go crazy
but the customer curtailed me a little bit and said no this is all we're going to need to do, so
that's all we had to do. Now as you can see, when I pull far away here, get a nice off axis view. Those
Thin-X Strips do really well. I would say easily well past 45 degrees, as far as viewable. They have
a nice lens on them and even all the way out to about 90 degrees, you're going to see those rear
bumper steps. The way they reflect in the pocket, they almost turn that entire step pocket into a
light. The way the amber bounces around in there really works very well on these GMs. Sierras have
the same bumper so feel free to go ahead and do that on a Sierra if you have one as well. Keep in
mind, the Thin-X Strip underneath the Silverado bumper is very tight. There's not a lot of room
and it's kind of tricky to get it mounted. Fair warning, it's not that easy but
definitely doable. Take your time. Have a buddy stand behind you to make sure that you're not
inadvertently putting it on there crooked. Use our primer promoter and make sure it's stuck very well.
The last thing I'm going to mention here are a couple of items too big to ship. We do not get
into shipping our fuel transfer tanks and hose reels and tool boxes and things like that just
yet because they're too large and we're just not set up for that. However, if you have some toolbox
or fuel transfer tank needs and you're local, reach out to us via email and we'll get you taken care
of. We can install or provide any of these items, bed covers, Line-X spray and bed lining, we have a
great partner here locally for Line-X spray-ins, as well as any of the accessories like bed covers,
toolboxes and this truck didn't get any but we do steps as well. So all right, I got a customer in
my waiting room. So I'm going to close this video with another shot at the front of this beautiful
red Chevy. Thanks again for tuning in to Wicked Warnings, your number one source for construction
and emergency safety strobe lighting like what you're looking at right here. Hopefully you enjoyed
this video. Any questions or comments, feel free to drop them. Reach out and say hi. Thanks for watching.
