So after checking out the GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept most of the days I came across their roof light set up. Looks like it's on the inside of the widow and tucked into the headliner out of plain view in the cab. With some orange LED strip at auto zone and kept in place with double sides tape it should be a done thing. I know there is 3 or 4 wires under that steering wheel that I believe links to the tow lights? If so which one is for the marker lights and then I can tap into it and daisy chain 3 of them like the HD concept. I think I would go with 4" left and right and 7" in the center any thoughts/ input?

Could turn out half decent!

I was thinking along those lines but in my light bar.... Then I just dropped the idea for more pressing mods

Well Mark II is up in place but I can't find a marker light wire inside the cab. I thought the 4 wires under the dash was going to be a snap to work but its a dud. These don't look like they will show in that day but I am using a 9V battery and it might not have enough juice.

All done!!! I forgot that I had my Bullydog tap into the radio power and just tap the LED's into it. This was really simple just need about 6 feet of wire (I'll get the gauge in a sec) just make sure it's thicker then the wire on the LED's and just daisy chain them up and be sure to tuck away all the wires. I removed the a pillar to make sure it was all clean. I have to come up with a plan to cover all this white take on the top of my window now.

Alright guys already thinking about the Mark III for a few reasons. One the tape on the window isn't a good look and also with the hot and cold I know they'll start to fall off soon. Second and something I'm not a fan of is that they don't show in the day time and last reason it is a pain in the butt to get these guys on a straight line. So what is the new plan?

Now a few things come to mind with the lights, one is the angle with our windows will this fit flush or is the angle to sharp? Next I already have my daisy chain in place but this strobe light you have to press the red button to change the strobe settings. I hope that when they turn on from the radio power they will stay solid and not want to blink every time they turn on. Any input you guys might have would be great!!! :cheers:

Funny you posted this new update!

I opened up my ebay app yesterday looking to kill time while on the can. I search "Hummer h3t" and because I clicked on a similar product awhile back that was this first thing that popped up! (or one like it)

I got to thinking that it would make for a much cleaner set up then the tape method of the other attempt, but I was worried that it didn't have "memory" of the last setting and would srat up in the wrong mod each time you fired up your rig.

TAPDH3T has a similar setup with his police lights (I think), maybe he can chime in!

With this set up if you ditch the strobe box and just give it power it will stay solid but I'm worry how much light will come into the cab.

Well the Mark III is in!!!




These are a lot better (I hope) and I didn't want too much light coming in so I raped it a few time with painter tape. It still comes in the inside but not that bad.


I really hope this works out.

This kit cam with 9 more white lights that I plan to install four in the cab for the feet area (OEM yellowing lights are getting old) and there isn't a set in the rear so all the time I need a flash light to look on the floor. Four more on each door to have lights on the floors when getting into the T. Anyone want me to make a step-by-step for the 8 LED's?
