Description
FEATURES
- Surface Matched Fit - Profile CNC machined back to perfectly match and seal the cab using 3d scans. Takes 25% more time to machine, but seals way more than 25% better!
- Invisible S2 light hardware - 12 less visible screw heads. S2 lights are secured from the internal side of the housing. **Patent Pending**
- 11mm, 3 watt (up from 1w and 6mm) red running/brake lights. 3x more power and easily replaceable.
- Plug 'n Play with factory wiring harness - New integrated circuit board plugs into the factory brake light harness for the 3 red running (clearance) and brake lights.
- New simple and strong mounting system - 3/16" aluminum threaded "backer plates" instead of factory plastic nuts or the dreaded sheet metal panel nuts. Super easy, super secure, and easy to return to 100% stock!
- Updated "edgier" design with 45 degree chamfers and corners instead of radiuses.
- Matte fine textured black outdoor powder-coating instead of gloss black - Looks a bit more finished.
- OEM cargo camera mounting - Reuses the factory camera and camera retainer that works perfect.
- NMO cable wires - NMO antennna equipped housings now have a short cable with a standard PL-259 connector, and then uses a standard extension cable to reach your VHF/UHF radio head. This allows you to disconnect and remove the brake light housing at the cab instead of pulling all of the cable out of the cab. Also allows for easily replacing the cable if it were to get damaged. Also allows for a more custom fit length. 8' works good for radio heads mounted behind (or under) the back seat. 12' works good for radios mounted in the center console or under the passenger seat.
- All new and freaking amazing mounting system. No more dumb clips! See the YouTube video for the best explanation.
VEHICLE FITMENT
This product only fits vehicles that have an OEM camera. Please select your vehicle from the drop down list so that we provide the right OEM integration harness.
NMO ANTENNA MOUNT
The antenna mount option adds a custom CNC machined brass NMO antenna mount to the top of the housing, The mount includes your choice of 8' or 12' RG58 cable terminated with a PL-269 connector ready to plug straight into your radio. That cable is easily replaceable with premade cables of different lengths from any HAM radio store or Amazon. Please note the base of the antenna mount is not powder coated it is raw brass. We recommend the following antenna and cap for the NMO mount:
- GJ Cap
- Browning BR-158-S 150-170 MHz VHF NMO Antenna
- Larsen Plastic Rain Cap for NMO Antenna - Black
STARLINK MINI MOUNT
This option allows you to install a Starlink Mini onto your 3rd brake light. The brake light will include the Starlink Mini mount and will be drilled/tapped to accept the SwarfWorks Starlink Mini Mount. You can add this later however you will need to either send in your brake light to get re-drilled/tapped or you can do it yourself. The Starlink Mini mount also has dual NMO mounts (one on either side of the Starlink Mini) if you select NMO as an option.
WIRING HARNESS
All wiring harnesses are cut to length and pre-terminated with weatherpack connectors and wrapped in soft loom for easy installation in your truck. The factory integration for the marker lights and cargo light uses the factory connector and does not require any cutting or soldering.
Basic Harness
This harness provides integration of the 3 marker/brake light LED's with factory wiring harness as well as connecting the center light to the cargo light circuit. Two additional circuits are provided to connect the outer lights to the factory upfitter switches in the passenger kick panel.
Reverse Light Harness
This harness has all the features of the basic harness, but also connects the center light to the brake light circuit so that it comes on automatically when the truck is placed in reverse.
Stop/Tail/Turn Harness with Reverse
This harness includes a stop/tail/turn controller to integrate the outer to lights with the factory brake/turn signals. It includes inputs for connecting to your aux switches for:
- Master power to turn the system on/off
- Strobe Function
- Strobe pattern change (momentary switch to be optionally mounted in the dash)
- Constant on override to disable the turn/brake integration
- Connects the center light to the brake light circuit (optional) so that it comes on automatically when the truck is placed in reverse.
LIGHTS
Choosing which lights to select is really a personal preference. S2 Pro's are twice the brightness, but about twice the price. If you're running the center light as a white reverse or cargo light, a Sport wide angle or work/scene works great. Go with an S2 Pro for extra punch! For amber (chase/dust) lights, spot lenses can be seen from a long ways away. But if someone is close behind you and there isn't dust or snow, they can be very bright. A driving combo works great because one half of the S2 is spot, and the other is a wide angle. S2 Pro's again provide an insane amount of light. S2 Sports are no slouch though. You really can't go wrong. You can always change lenses later on.
