If you’re curious about these lights, here’s a link to their website: caboveramerica.com
DO NOT BUY THESE LIGHTS, they are a huge waste of money. I have had multiple sets of these lights and no matter what I do they will not stay on longer than 30 minutes. Ive charged them for multiple days in a row without using them and no matter what they still turn off or die after 20-30 minutes. Either this guy doesnt know what hes talking about or caboveramerica keeps sending me garbage lights, even though they are "pre tested". Either way I would stay away from these lights. If you want cab lights go get real ones and have someone that knows what they are doing put them in.
Loved the lights not the price ..
As in all DOT required cab lights they are on a separate circuit as in all large 18-wheeler trucks. This function is used to signal others as they desire. We have mimicked that ability with our Cab Over America lights, so you can have that option to control your lights via your remote, separate from your running lights. I hope that explains our products capabilities better. We have 12+ hours of run time on a full charge with a 3:1 charge ratio, this will give you plenty of use as the battery charges daily even in cloudy conditions. Thanks again for choosing us for your cab lights. We are always here for your support
We are the only patented proprietary wireless cab clearance in the world and our price is less than a shop that pulls your headliner down and drills 15 to17 holes in your roof. At Cab Over America we have used a very expensive high/low temp battery to allow our product to function well in extreme environmental conditions. The battery cost is around $30. each. We did not compromise on our quality and durability. I hope that explains our cost and market price. Remember those holes will eventually leak and you will have to deal with that expense.
We design a product simple to use, by all. Unfortunately, not all our customers use Bluetooth and their vehicles don't have it. Our product is sold worldwide in many applications to include ATVs and can work with almost any truck new or old, domestic or foreign. We have no plans to go Bluetooth or hardwire to individual vehicles, although our patent covers that option. I hope you reconsider I am positive you will like our product. Thanks, you can see our lights and order at caboveramerica.com
I said the same about the price. But I do love the look of the cab over lights and this option is nice since hou do t need to drill holes and pull the roof liner out and a the labor involved
I will end up getting them
Guarantee you'd pay more if you'd buy the ones that you have to drill in
When you factor in not having to drill holes, or the price it would cost to have someone else install them, these are a good price point for what you get
@@vbadkin how would these function in a Canadian climate
Definitely getting these. I spent $60k on my truck and the only thing I hate is didn’t come with cab lights. I looked into having them installed. Close to $2000 to have them done right. I love how everyone is freaking out over $400. I guess you could get some duct tape and stick on some harbor freight hazard lights to ur roof 🤪
😂😂 I’m sure they’d be cheaper if the company was bigger, but it’s a pretty small operation! I actually never realized that when I first ordered them. Totally agreed with you though. Why drill holes in a brand new truck for cab lights when you don’t have to!
Another great Review!- I have had these for a couple of months now and I believe was one of the first to receive the updated "on/off" version. Just wanted to share my experience regarding run time. First, and most importantly, these need to be charged in direct sunlight for at least 30 total hours over a few days to ensure a full charge.---- While I was on vacation, I came home around 11pm one night and forgot to turn the cab lights off......Around 10 a.m. the next morning, I came out to the truck and the lights were still on and just as bright as they were the night before!!!--- 12 hours of continuous light!!!! I did share this with Cab Over America and I learned that to the best of their knowledge, the "record" so far is 22 straight hours off a full charge.
Awesome, that was my only question that I haven’t seen covered yet. Thanks!
thx for the insight
Got mine on Christmas it is now the 28th, my lights don’t turn on even after charging in the sun all day, it is a little cold, could that have something to do with it
Edit: If you have the smoked lens it is too dark to be able to charge, you’ll have to take them out and let them charge because the smoked lens doesn’t let enough light through, therefore i would go with the amber or clear lens. I had been going back and forth on Emails with the company trying to get them to work and it was just the lens is too dark the whole time. Great lights, just a heads up about getting the smoked lens
do they charge well and hold charge with the amber after all this time?
I really do like what I see. I just don't want another FOB in my pocket. If they made a module for the OEM light switch I'm all in!
I'll definitely be buying a set asap. Not only is it made in the USA, but it's a small company. I support small and upcoming companies.
I can’t verify that everything is made in the US (maybe shoot them an email) but I can at least say that it’s a US based operation and if you reach out the responses aren’t in broken Chinese haha.
One thing that would be cool, (since they're solar powered), is if they knew to turn on when the sun went down. Such as you would see with solar powered yard lights. Clicking on/off would be tedious imo.
There’s lots of times I don’t want them on though, especially when the truck isn’t on! Haha Since they’re wireless they have no connectivity to know if the truck is on or just parked.
No possible way, to hard wire them in, with your lights though, huh?
Loooove/ have cab lights 👈🤩

like a garden light it's ok till you go to the drive movies :)
@@brandontormaschy6977 what would be the point of wireless lights if they were hard wired in?
If a hardwired bluetooth module for the headlight switch became a thing, that's all I'd need to make the move.

Could probably use a relay on the running like circuit to trigger the switch.
@@vbadkin I would love it if instead of a remote you guys came up with a wireless switch one can just attach to the inside of the truck so the lights could just be turned on with just a flip of a switch like our lights at home. Just an idea thanks. Love the lights tho I will be getting some soon.
@@224chingonjust 3m tape or Velcro tape the switch somewhere. If you want more seamless you could probably remover the switch housing and flush mount it somewhere.
The only reason why I have not bought these lights, is for that exact reason that they do not tie into a light circuit to turn on automatically. I do not want to have to remember to turn these on every time I get my truck at night. Great video thanks for all the helpful info. But I think I’ll wait until they can turn on automatically. Thanks again
The idea is awesome, my ram 3500 did not come with cab lights so I googled it to see what was out there. Unfortunately I don’t think the price is worth the idea. But eventually there will be more competition that will drive the price down for wireless cab lights......so.... I hit up eBay and got a cool set of led lights, rechargeable 3v battery’s small solar chargers and a transponder and receiver and after a 45 mins of soldering and sealing I now have the same thing for $47.....but that’s not all! I have a signal wire taped to my runners so I really don’t even need a remote 😎
Just ordered a set of these based off of your review. Customer service was great and I can’t wait to get them installed. Thanks for the review!
Thank you so much!
How are they working out? This post was a year ago and I'd really appreciate knowing what you think...
Love that they made an on/off version. I’ll definitely be picking up a set as soon as they go on sale. $400 is pretty steep.
Yeah not cheap, but cool to have! Seems to be a common theme with truck parts 😂
they are on sale
@@wetplanet268 that’s what they want you to think lol
@@JustDiesels sad but so true! Hahah
End up getting them? How'd you like em?
Love the lights and the concept. Customer Service is good but.......Lights work during the day. Once they site overnight, they are not holding their charge.
I love your channel and your photography skills are at a high level. I am going to pick up a 96 F250 tomorrow and if the deal goes through I will buy these lights. I can't believe everyone saying $400 is too much - my gosh an iPhone goes for $1,200. This is a great product. Great video, keep your channel coming. Unfortunately may F-250 will be a 7.5L Gasser but still an OBS. I figure a gasser will be easier to maintain.
Thank you! I think the reason for the price is the company’s size. They’re a small operation, and any kind of plastic molding is really expensive. That’s my best guess at least!
Looks great! Instead of hard wiring. Why not just Velcro it to the dash face next to the light switch.
I’m truck shopping and I will definitely consider this set up. Thank you for posting.
I just bought a pair a few weeks ago. I guess shipping time is 8-12 weeks right now. Seems a little long.
Great video. I'm like the others, I like the lights but the turning them on all the time would be tedious. If they had a wireless module tied into ignition power to trigger the lights when you started the truck, I'd buy one tommorow
@caboverlightsofamerica take notes on this comment and you’d definitely take over the aftermarket lighting game 👍
That's a good move to go with just on/off unfortunately i had the 3 mode type, but that wasn't the only issue the ridiculously short run time, this Co. advertised on it's web site they use the 'BEST' material, i disagree.
Just ordered mine tonight can't wait to get them ..And let me just say these guy's rock customer service is AMAZING I emailed a lot of ?s and they were prompt at getting back to me You get what you pay for and I can tell without even having these in my hands yet this company is A+
How are they working out? I'd like to know before I order...Thanks
@@ChrisGriffithCrimeAuthorone of the 5 lights is not responding anymore after 7th day of purchase
@@MohammadHarisMania My luck is just like your luck, so I'm glad I got a set hardwired. I look at these very much like I look at my solar post lights in my back yard. I had to replace them after year three because they were either defective or got to the point they wouldn't hold a charge. Again, I think the concept is great, but it's a roll of the dice.
@@ChrisGriffithCrimeAuthor atleast they served you 3 years, mine went out on 7th day of purchase. Thats pity but what to do
Just wanted to let you know I love your videos and your Channel is awesome. Your videos are informative, entertaining and really well produced/seem high quality
Thank you! That’s exactly what I’m going for!
Anybody else have this issue?: when I got my lights, only one remote was working. The second remote never worked from the beginning. I ignored it thinking it's probably just the batteries. But a week later after installation, my first remote stopped working too. I figured if I just changed the batteries, everything will be fine. But after putting brand new Duracell batteries, neither remote worked. So I contacted Cab Over America, and they sent me 2 new remotes. And I'm still having the same problem with one of the new remotes. I currently have only one working remote out of 4. I've replaced their batteries and still nothing. What could it be? It's driving me insane.
I'm definitely going to get a set soon. Just this weekend I built my front end up based on your videos, used all the same parts and it's like I've got a new truck. Love the videos, they're extremely helpful and full of knowledge.
That’s awesome and I’m glad the truck is driving better! I appreciate the support!
Hope u got a spare $500 sitting around
Man, I really hate it that my bubble just busted about this product this morning. I had watched this video a couple of days ago and was amazed. I started setting money aside for the purchase and asked the guy who made this video how his were holding up, but no reply as of yet. So then I checked out their website and also checked the product on Amazon. The only thing I can tell you guys is READ THE AMAZON REVIEWS before buying. I mean, every other review was terrible. Some of the lights not staying on for more than 30 minutes to an hour or getting out of sync and having to be re-set frequently.
Don't get me wrong because I think the concept is fantastic. I also know their competition (if any) probably author bad reviews on Amazon, but there are simply TOO many of them to ignore. If they cost $150. 00, I'd give them a shot just for the heck of it, but I can't really justify dropping over $400.00 (including tax) on an experiment that will possibly result in me jerking out my Glock and blowing them off the truck. Now, if they want to send me a set for free or drop the price significantly, I'd be happy to provide an accurate, first hand review. I'm still waiting for this guy to give us an update of how they are working and if they function as advertised......and for more than 30 minutes. Some little voice tells me I'll be waiting a while for a reply.
Hey! I’m the guy that made this video and owns these lights. I honestly have no skin the game since I paid for these lights just like anyone else. I haven’t had any issues with the updated on/off style version. Although I can’t say they lasted forever, they worked fine for my use case though. That said, I have no clue if quality has dropped off since I got my lights, but that’s pretty possible!
@@JustDiesels Thanks for the info.
i have the new on - off type and they don't stay charged for more than a half hour, sent them back for replacements and still have the same problem, asking for a refund
@@garymercer1975 That's disappointing to hear 😞 but thanks for letting me know. In the weeks following my question, I decided to call around to several mechanics and custom shops to ask the cost for hardwiring cab lights. To my surprise, no one will even install them because they are afraid of the liability of a leaking roof. Unbelievable! At this point, I either take the risk of ordering these or just forget about it entirely. It sucks! Thank care, Gary.
The problems you describe are the same i had 4 years ago when i bought mine, this idea needs to be re-engineered, and i can't believe this guy who makes them has the nerve to keep selling them. read my post above. Best to ya.
I ordered the lights last week and had them installed …at first one light quit working day 1!!!
Then after letting the truck sit outside in the sun for 3 days the other 4 lights lit up well but shut off after 45 min😡 I have tried to contact the company multiple times to speak to SOMEONE I was only responded to by emails then they finally replied with a phone number and it was DISCONNECTED!!!!
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO TO CALL PLEASE POST
Man that sucks to hear. I’ve had two sets without issues and they responded to my emails quickly. I was a normal, retail customer too.
Same issue as you and believe me i tried to make sure they had enough charging exposure i was really excited about these and wanted them to work(read my post above) i never was able to contact a rep from the Co. So im out $445
I love these. My only issue is that either the connection in the remote is trash or the lights just don’t have the best connectivity. Last night I tried to turn them off and 2 of them just wouldn’t. Had to let them die completely. Kinda frustrating
Love the lights, had them for almost 2 years,,ran into first problem tonight, one of them won't shut off
Great video. Thanks for the update. I’m putting these on my First Gen after paint. I’m like you, no way I’m putting holes in a perfectly good roof.
Just a suggestion, reach out to the manufacturer and tell them to make a module that ties into the the lights. This would make them the ultimate cab lights hands down. 🙌
See above comment
Sweet,now i may buy them.I didnt care for the 3 way option of the original ones.
My experience was totally different than yours. First I’d like to say I’m glad you were treated right by them and I’m happy you got a good set of lights. Me on the other hand was not so lucky. I bought a set and they kept going out of sync with each other, I contacted the seller and they replaced them with another set of bad ones. I have never been able to run my lights correctly once. And since I gave them a bad review, they sent me a email saying “You better hope you never have a warranty issue”. Maybe because I don’t make videos on CZcams, they felt they didn’t have to deal with me like they did you. Do what makes you happy but I wish I didn’t waist my $400.00 on these lights and not to mention you would have to spend another $125.00 on replacements. I’ll take my chances with leaks
Remember that going out of sync isn’t something they can warranty. It’s just the down side of the 3 mode lights losing communication with the transmitter when they die. That’s the entire reason they now offer these on and off lights. My first set was actually bought and paid for like anybody else, but they did send me these new on/off ones for free. If you want to get the older ones in sync, you have to pull the offending lights off the truck, walk out of range from the truck, and use your remote to cycle them into the correct mode. Then you put them back on and everything is in sync. It’s a total pain, which is why it’s nice to have these on/off lights now!
Having blinking light should of never been an option. It is illegal to have light that blink on your roof. And if happened while going down the road you would never know..
I'd be perfectly happy taking my chances on leaks, but I can't find a soul that will install them in my area. I do a lot of projects on my own, but I hesitate to attempt to hardwire a set. I know for a fact they would leak if I did it DIY 😞
How wonderful to get a threat from a supposed legitimate and "professional" company. I'm so happy I didn't buy them that I think I'll treat myself to a steak dinner!
Just what I've been looking for...
Not bein' a Dodge/Ram guy, I will have to admit, that's a nice lookin' truck...
I think if they were more around $200 the company would be much more popular, but with the price unless someone really doesn’t want to drill holes it’s just not worth it

Well , I like the key fob rather than any wiring this stuff in and yes no drilling. When you tired of them you can just take em off. I look at this kinda thing as ,.. fun stuff. and for looks ( my opinion). I would like to try these out its a great idea and on/off only system is better than all the other jazz. On Off simple! Great vids man!!
Great review!! I’m looking into getting these for my 2013 mega cab.
Just installed mine, had them charge for 2 days in direct sunlight only to have them work for about 20 minutes at night, I made sure the solar panel is facing up aswell, any tips?
I’m starting to wonder if they changed suppliers or somehow changed the product from when I had them, as yours and other recent comments seem to differ from my experience with these lights!
@@JustDiesels ah that might be a reason, really hope they start working and just have a break-in period or so
Great review with all pros and cons. 👍 Definitely, the perfect way to add cab lights without drilling. Create these cab lights any wind noise at higher speed (75 mph and beyond)?
Awesome ! It’s so much better than drilling holes 👍🏻
you can probably tune the frequency on garage door opener buttons
I think this is a great idea but I have 3 issues! (1) It's been 3 years since you made this video and how are the lights holding up? (2) Cost of replacing an individual light drives your initial cost even higher. and (3) They do not seem to be as bright as a standard mounted cab light. With that said what is your opinion of the lights now 3 years later and have you done an updated review?
Mine are still working, but I keep seeing horrible reviews, so I think their quality has fallen off. Based on what I’m hearing I’d no longer recommend them.
That’s too bad. I happen to know allot about batteries. Long explanation short, this problem would mostly all go away if in addition to solar charging each one should also have a charging port.
I also have these the new version just love them
What is the changes between old and new versions?
Older version also had a blinking option
Just ordered a set after seeing your review. Nice solution
Love your channel
Thank you!
How long will they last with a full charge?
And all that free press and no discount code?
Great video.
Good review, but there are so many negative reviews out there about this product it makes me hesitant to purchase. Now that u have had the newer version installed for 7 months do u still feel the quality is good & they still work as advertised ? Thanks
I still like them. I think the people that complain don’t understand the product. The on off ones take away any of the connectivity issues, and they do what I need them to do! They’ll only last for a few hours (maybe 4 give or take) but that’s fine with me!
Thanks, bro. Didn’t even know these existed.
Great video. Really makes me want those lights 👍🏼👍🏼
Another great video man! Very cool that they are listening to feedback. These revised lights are convincing me more that I need these. Like you said though, integration with factory lights would be awesome. I do wonder if that idea has crossed their table - I believe the technology is available? I think it would be a great idea to offer that feature side by side with the current FOB-controlled lights. Perhaps create some sort of “FOB” that sends signal to the cab lights, that can be wired into/powered by the headlight/dimmer switch. That way as soon as the vehicle’s running lights are turned on, power is sent to the FOB, and thus, the cab lights as well. Seamless. Yes that does add wiring, but that install would be a breeze even for novice end-users. I think some sort of low-profile, battery life indicator in the form of a colored LED or a multi-LED strip would be a nice idea to compliment that. Something that can be easily and elegantly mounted inside the cab. I’d be willing to pay an additional cost for those features on top of the current price. That’s the only thing left holding me back from buying these lights. Take the convenience factor one step further and they’ll have my money.
Completely agree with your comments! Thankfully those features would be easy add ons to the existing lights.

Great review man! Does anyone know how to resync these? None have died on me its just one pod that turns on when it wants to. The other four turn on when you press the remote. Thank in advance.
Can you show off more about the Radio your running in the 3rd Gen? I have a 2006 Ram 2500 and I want to upgrade the radio!
If there was a way to tie them into the vehicle lights I would be sold immediately, and I would pay stupid money for a set of 3 in the GM style.
I was in, until the price tag. If the lights had a lifetime warranty to the original buyer, I'd be ordering a set today. No doubt they'll fail at some point, like all small solar devices. 1 year warranty is not going to work for me. More than likely, they'd start failing individually. Nothing worse then one light out or dim. Great idea though! Really thinking outside the box, I wish the company the best!
To have this option is fantastic and they look great. I'm just one who would love to have them turn on when I turn my lights on. As far as price, you said it's a small company so that could explain why the price is so steep. It could also be price vs convenience as well. In any event I think they look nice on your truck and for your needs seem to fit well!

@@vbadkin do you guys have plans in the future to offer a remote that you can wire into your truck so they work with the light switch?
Wow, what a product! Thanks for this..
How bright are they? I have seen many "solar" powered light applications where the lights are typically lacking in brightness. I like the "no-drill" option but for $400.00 , I would not want something that is dull or puny looking on the roof of my vehicle.
I bought the on/off version 7 days ago, it was working fine as the truck is always in bright sun, suddenly yesterday 1 of the 5 light is not responding at all, today left it in the sun full day but its not even firing up, any clue what could it be? How to fix?
Another great video. Can you do a POV of your other 2 trucks like you did with your first gen?
Yeah it’s on the list!
Even if they have them so that they turn on at night automatically would be fine also. Which I believe would be fairly easy.
Great review with all pros and cons. What about wind noise at higher speed (75 miles on the highway or faster)? Any noise coming from this cab lights?
Nope! No noise at all.
@@JustDiesels Great. Thanks. Will order my lights now. It's a must have for every truck owner. And, no hazzle with leaking cab lights after drilling .
I wonder how these would work in northern Canada with snow and minimal day light.
@justdiesels how long did test them for? Some people said they aren’t lasting after only a few months
Is there another company that makes these wires less light but cheaper
you could wire that switch to a simple trigger board to have it come on with parking lights

What headlights are those ?
Hi Just Diesels...with the off/off design. what mode does it come with? Bright or medium? (i know it's not strobe)
I bought these about a month ago for my 2006 chevy silverado 1500 and from what I'm seeing it sounds like everybody likes them I haven't had a chance to put them on yet but I was wondering has anybody or you had problem with these coming loose? or coming off? or the adhesive losing its stickiness in over a hundred plus degree weather ? and also with the vehicle sitting for an entire week at a time exposing the Sun? If anybody could give me feedback or let me know that be great
It’s the same 3m adhesive that holds on half the badges and trim on your truck from the factory! It works fine.
Hey I was thinking about putting them my 4runner are they to big I know people why I like the look and something different thanks
Dont get them. They absolutely suck. Ive had mine for a year and they never work right and now they come on by themselves
Which combo goes best with baja amber fog lights?
Thankyou. Great information.
I have the good old traditional OEM Cab lights thinking of trying to find away to get rid of eather with a light bar or 4"-6" round lights for off road with both white/amber lights? Whats your thoughts or opinions? Thank you Ron
Where are these made? Where are parts sourced from? Also for $400 they should have at least a 3 year warranty IF the product is all it’s advertised to be.
Had mine on for three months and they quit working at night. Strange
What is the purpose of the amber cover in front of the led if you are running an amber cover…is it necessary or does it make it even more amber?
It does make the light more amber!
Just diezzzzels? Or diesel??? LOL.. Love your videos man. Great channel!
Thank you!
Has anyone used these in a Northern US or Canadian winter? If so, how do they hold up charge wise? I'm having my doubts with the cold and snow.
I just installed these lights on my truck and honestly they are worth the money.
Ralph, how long did it take from your order until you received them?
@@samoyfire A few days, they are shipped via usps but they will ship it ups or FedEx if you ask them.
@@ralph7254 How are they working for you thus far? Thinking about ordering today...Thanks!
My major concern is the 3M tape, how reliable is it? I assume it means no car wash, but beyond that, what is the durability?
It’s extremely strong. It’s the same tape that holds on your emblems and trim and those stick on for the life of the truck!
Are those the amber bulbs? They don't look very amber colored
Still prefer wired but, this makes me wonder, might be amazing project lights for things, they are definitely onto something.
How long did it take for a full recharge once they were completely dead
Do they have them for a 2022gmc sierra 2500 I only see lights for dodge and ford
The price is too steep
Have you found less expensive ones with the same quality?
.
How do you resync the light?
I’d love to see how these look on your 7.3. Have you considered putting them on it?
I have, but I want to see if I can put the guts of these in the OEM light housings 😈
@@JustDiesels that’s would be awesome!😈
Are the bulbs and lenses universal with stock cab lights that come standard on diesels?
They are not.
Solid video
I have them on my 07 5.9. And I find them annoying cause you never know when they’re fully charged so you’ll turn em on after “charging” for 2 day’s and when you get home an hour later they’re dead. You also dont know if they died during the drive. Wish they had a battery indicator of some sorts. I think it’s a cool idea but would rather them be wired into my light switch and have an oem spec even if that means drilling.
As in all DOT required cab lights they are on a separate circuit as in all large 18-wheeler trucks. This function is used to signal others as they desire. We have mimicked that ability with our Cab Over America lights, so you can have that option to control your lights via your remote, separate from your running lights. I hope that explains our products capabilities better. We have 12+ hours of run time on a full charge with a 3:1 charge ratio, this will give you plenty of use as the battery charges daily even in cloudy conditions. Thanks again for choosing us for your cab lights. We are always here for your support
We are the only patented proprietary wireless cab clearance in the world and our price is less than a shop that pulls your headliner down and drills 15 to17 holes in your roof. At Cab Over America we have used a very expensive high/low temp battery to allow our product to function well in extreme environmental conditions. The battery cost is around $30. each. We did not compromise on our quality and durability. I hope that explains our cost and market price. Remember those holes will eventually leak and you will have to deal with that expense.
We design a product simple to use, by all. Unfortunately, not all our customers use Bluetooth and their vehicles don't have it. Our product is sold worldwide in many applications to include ATVs and can work with almost any truck new or old, domestic or foreign. We have no plans to go Bluetooth or hardwire to individual vehicles, although our patent covers that option. I hope you reconsider I am positive you will like our product. Thanks, you can see our lights and order at caboveramerica.com
if you are not getting a good run time on a full charge please let us know and we will gladly replace them. We have less than a 1% failure rate but once in a while it happens. Hope this helps.
Will they charge if they are covered in snow? Is there a chance the batteries will freeze?
They definitely won’t charge since the solar panel is obscured, but they won’t freeze!
My ‘08 headlights suck, can you share what you did to yours bc they don’t appear stock.
They’re a custom built HID projector retrofit. That’s the way to go if you want the best you can buy!
Is the sight trust worthy as far as your card info
Curious what did you paint your grille with? I’ve tried many products and always chipping...
This is a premiered factory grille that was painted to match. That’s the best route to go since painting the chrome doesn’t stick!
What would you recommend for some type of fog light on my 2016 Ram 1500 Tradesman? The front bumper doesn't have the oem openings for factory fog lights.
If there’s no openings in the bumper, you’ll want to swap to the OEM bumper with fog light openings.
How would these work in Canada though?
Do you live in a cold climate? I’m in Toronto
Definitely getting these
Need lights for the mirrors now
How many hours after a full charge do you get with the new on lights? And if two people are next to each other with cab over America lights is each key fob specifically synced for each set of lights so someone else cannot turn them on with their key fob from Cab over America?
They claim over 10 hours and I'd say that's accurate. I've yet to have mine die on a road trip that's 6 hours plus at night! One remote will turn on other sets, so that is something to consider if you park next to friends with the lights. I have two sets and both turn on with the remote.
Something you didn’t address that I was curious about, once the suns goes down and they are fully charged how long do they stay on like per say you were driving all night on the highway how many hours would they last till they run out of battery?
It’s hard to say since I never sat there with a timer until they died. I did a few 4 hour road trips at night with them on and they ran the whole time though!
12 hours of run time on a full charge with a 3:1 charge time ratio
How do they hold up in the cold though?
So I live in northern Alberta where it gets minus 30 to 40 during the winter, would these lights be durable enough to make it through that?
Honestly I wouldn’t know since I live in So Cal!
@@JustDiesels ahh gotcha, maybe I’ll call em
How well do they stay put with being parked outside in sunlight with 100* weather
Had them in 120 degree palm springs heat without issue. Remember they use the same adhesive that holds on all your factory emblems and trim, so it’s not coming off!
Wish they were powerful magnets instead !
