well welcome back to the Steve Robshaw today guys I made a bid back in October about how much
I hate LED lights they sock sock sock big time between now and then one of the LED lights on the
passenger side of my truck just kind of fell down I'll see if I can put a picture in here about take
a look at this like the LED light fell down and was just hang in there well I had to cut it off I
bring it into the shop and you can see here in the next picture that it's just corroded off the end
and guys this is type of stuff I've been dealing with and it just fell apart off of the bracket
and fell down I don't know what kind of pig iron aluminum that is but it's crap okay so here's the
light right here can you hear that guys the this style of light is just crap I wouldn't recommend
anybody buy this and here's another picture of it here guys isn't that pathetic but I was out my
princess Auto and it came on sale and I don't get to rein in the shot there there we go right there
I don't know if that's going to come in there 999 regularly 1699 and this is them right here take it
out of the package this is like in their surplus sectioned you know something like Harbor Freight
and guys this style of LED light is it's never going to come in there and focus but it's like the
sealby style they're called cob LEDs and it came with a little pigtail and guys I decided to pick
up two of them and of course I got the brackets too so I pick up two of the brackets that mount
on it and here's one here installed guys these are very easy to install the brackets were I believe
five bucks five six bucks something like that and there's the whole unit they're all plugged in and
of course I can't use this that'll plug in on the end here because I don't have like one that'll
plug in there but I got another connector that can put on there that will match what was there
before I'm gonna mount two of these on the back of the truck and of course I like to use this product
here all the time you know and you just loop it up a bit and the key thing to this guys was
I'll show you right here now this is inside the mounting hardware you have to actually it's very
easy you can see how this just see how this comes out guys you have to take the the light out you
have to take this and put it inside the the metal frame first and then put this in and yeah I tried
it the other way it don't work so that's how come I know you got do it this with hey so so what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna mount this all up put it on the back of my truck and it shouldn't be too long
then I'll show you these installed and this is going to be the first time I think that I've ever
done a video at nighttime and I'm gonna show you what it looks like backing up and hopefully these
LEDs last longer than the other ones I will not buy a regular LED anymore I'll only go with the
CEO B style I have no idea what that stands for guys I have no idea see you'll be sounds like Cobb
to me but yeah I like that style and let's take a look after it's all installed and it's on the
truck and I'm gonna make a bait at night time the first time ever showing the backup lights going
on and how well how bright it is and how it works and you know guys not all LED lights really suck
but uh seems like I can't find any that actually last me more than a year and a half now i did make
a vid nick Tauber I'll put a link down below for that vid if you want to see it and you know it's
pathetic you know the stuff that we're getting from the wing-wang factory so state-owned I'll
show you at nighttime everything backing up and we'll see what kind of like this thing's froze
because I need good backup lights especially when I'm up north I'll put my cabin and guys when I'm
backing up I gotta have some lights I mean the regular lights on the back of an f-150 they're
not very good and they're pointed up way too high I need something lowers when I'm hooking up my
trailer and this kind of stuff that I got lots of lights and it saves me from backing into stuff and
smashing the truck to pieces so here we go let's wait till nighttime well it's still light out and
before we get to it I just thought I'd mention it to you how easy of an install this was when
you're going to install these LED lights there's a certain procedure that you have to go through and
a lot of people make it way more complicated than necessary I got a little bit of a demonstration
down here I like to share with everybody not everybody it's as advanced in the automotive
sector as I am and I'm going to show you some tips here on installing these lights I'm just going to
show you the display purpose here first and I've got a LED I guess this is like a laser pointer and
I picked this tip off from Brian's mobile on about 15 20 years ago he did a vid on showing how to
demonstrate what you're doing with a laser pointer and we're gonna get to it right now so stay tuned
here and I'm gonna get all set up and I'm going to show you a really good presentation on what's
required when you are installing a LED light for the backyard truck for backup lights well here
we go right here and as you can see we've got some electrical tape here we've got some heat-shrink we
have three different styles of connectors and you have the first one on the outside which is pink
is your through connector bullet connector and Spade connector and then over here is your regular
standard butter knife and right here we have you can see right here in the shot we have just two
pieces of liar I've already separated the casing on the outside and that's where the butter knife
comes in handy because on this particular model of LED lights you only need to use a butter knife
or a sharp thumbnail and that what the casing will come off the electrical insulation on this is very
high quality stuff so when you're tackling a job like this the best connection you could make for a
wire connector like this is to just twist that's all you have to do you just twist like this and
set it and forget it you see it right here now if you take a look at that wire connector like
that and think about it you have to realize what you're doing when you're doing an operation like
this and with these particular style of LED lights that you're getting today there's no need for the
electrical tape there's absolutely no need for the heat shrink connector or liquid tape or any of
that kind of stuff I used this proven method here with the new LED lights that we're getting from
the wing-wang factory and that there will be more than sufficient because the corrosion will never
affect that circuit before the LED lights die so this here will be more than enough for you to do
and that's all you really need and this is your pro tech tip for the day before we take a look
at the the truck I've got the truck outside I'm gonna lift up the garage door we're going to put
the lights on and we're gonna see how good these LED lights are okay here we go nighttime use guys
stay tuned I'm gonna go in the truck and put on the backup lights let's see how these LEDs shine
well guys I think that was pretty good I think that these might be keepers I'm not too sure I
got them wired up for a maximum of say 14 months we'll see what happens in the meantime if they
go past the 14 month mark I'll wire them in the right way the way it is right now as far as I'm
concerned with most of these LED lights that I've been getting uh sadly now they gotta be wired the
wrong way because there's no hay they last for me I hope you uh a little bit of a sense of humor and
come back again if you haven't seen this channel before welcome to subscribe and for everybody else
it's always a pleasure seeing you on the channel come back again let's have some more fun Cheers
