    I love watching your channel. Thank you for all the great content. I have a suggestion for you to consider. With all the seperate led light systems you have on your AT4 can you get a system to synchronize all of them for the color changing and effects. In other words one app/control for all the lights. I have been looking with no solution yet. Thank you for your time and keep on YouTubing. JD

    I've had this site pulled up on a tab for over a month. Reason why I haven't ordered? Can't figure out what I want it to say!
    Also have Atomic pulled up, but Don, so jealous you're working with Ikonic! The customization is going to get out of control.
    BTW thank you for being honest about the slight light fade at the edges. Your communication is straight forward and unbiased which you can't put a price on. Thank you!! But don't get me wrong, it's bad@$$. You made any doubt I had about buying one disappear.
    Great job as always. Keep 'em coming!

    Looks great! I may get one. What I REALLY want is a better steering wheel. You know, with those bumps at the 10 and 2 position, flat bottom, and 1/2 leather (top section smooth). Have you thought of that?

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  Před rokem

      Not a bad call. I assumed there wasn't a sportier version. If you find one, let me know. The only thing is I don't really want to give up my heated steering wheel option either

    Will the badge illuminate when it receives power or does it need to be turned back on via the app every time?
    Thank you for making these videos! I have a 6.2L V8 AT4 and your videos are an honest look at aftermarket parts.

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  Před měsícem

      It will turn on when it receives power. The app is only needed to change colors/settings. Once set, it stays.

  • @SierraStorm21
    @SierraStorm21 Před 5 měsíci

    I have the same exact truck as you. I just got and installed the OEM finish ones with the 6.2L emblem and yes those OEM badges are hard to get off. I broke one of the plastic pushthrough pins on each of them. The one closest to the front of the truck. Just couldn't get my hand and tool at the right angle. Their not going back in anyway, so not a big deal and could probably superglue them back on if need be.
    My bigger problem is trying to find the circuit the DRL's are on or something that comes on with the truck to tap. I've tried the parking lamps, fogs and a few others, but haven't found one that will come on with the truck in accessory or running position. Tapping the Parking lamps/fogs work, but only come on when it's dark or I manually turn them on to load the circuit. Any suggestions?
