Underhood lights mod adds more HP than OEM motor.

Saves $10k on motor upgrade for less than $50!

Less than $10 lol

Red lights add and even 100hp . Red paint adds 200hp. Just those combined that's almost 400hp

Cheap Chinese Rgb footwell lights. Different modes...strobe, solid, fade, etc. I think they were $10

Had an idea for a 3rd brake light for the wifes car. 100cm led strip with 3 different modes (chaser mode, dual brightness, flash). Got it in the mail and one of the modes didnt work so they sent me another one for free. Which is fine cause I never planned on using any of those modes, so I just cut the control box off and wired the strip directly for a simple on/off mode illumination. So I used the extra one on the Denali. 3m self adhesive tape. Perfect length for the rear window.

Follow the wire for the rear defroster into the harness through the rubber hatch grommet. From there you'll need to remove the passenger side panel and top panel to gain access just inside the headliner to reach the 3rd brake light wire which can be fed through the hole that connect to the original light. Fill that hole with whatever you want. I just cut the wires off and stuffed the original oem plug back in it.

Its self explanatory but since I've never seen anyone do this I figure I'd go into a little more detail. It's always difficult to execute a mod that's never been done before, even as simple as this one. From mounting to making sure it's still functional and also looks right in perspective on the vehicle with the rest of the lights.

Plus its winter here and I'm bored out of my mind.



Btw I made sure I had enough slack in the wires so if the light goes out or I need to change it I can easily unplug it by only taking off the inside plastic trim on the hatch. Otherwise if running the wire to the fullest extent the connector would be through the grommet and I would have to run the wire through it all over again.

The visuals

And yes from the inside theres a slight reflection but not enough to distract. The camera enhances the light and makes it look way brighter than it really is.
