Having been unhappy with the interior lighting of the Bronco, I upgrade the interior lighting using Govee LED under lighting kit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0969PDDP5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and wired it to Aux 6 Switch. The default setting is white but it can also be set to any color or sync with music( I will never use that feature, but is there for those who want a disco Bronco). I couldn't be happier with the results, its like daytime in the car when I turn them on. I can also dim the lights using the Govee app but for the most part I never have the need to open the app. The default white full on works for my purposes. Hard to beat for $50 in parts and a little sweat equity.
The whole process took be about an hour an half to wire. I used the Aux 6 switch and wired it to the rear white/orange aux wire in the passenger side rear. I had to remove both covers of the air roof air bags to fish the wire along the roll cage (yes, made sure to secure the wire to not interfere with the opening of the air bags) to the rear cover of the roll cage. The covers are the only trim pieces secured with bolts. The rest of the top trim and side trims are all held in place with body clips. I pulled down the rear roll bar trim piece to store the LED driver/Control and fished a wire down the passenger side pillar to tie into the Orange/white aux wire. I stuck the lights on above the airbags on the soft top front brackets using 60lb double sided tape and the rear lights on the rear roll bar just behind the passenger seats. The install is clean and you hardly notice the lights until they are on.
I put these in today after seeing the OPs post. I have them wired to the aux switch. I think mine was red when I first powered them up. But I changed it to white and it keeps the memory when I turn it on and off. The app is a little confusing at first until you play with it a little. It took me a while to figure out if you scroll down and select all the lights and change them to white and whatever temp/brightness you want it should keep that setting.Hey OP I just had a question on these:
Your post says the default color is white…i put these in my black diamond over the weekend, but it seems to me the default color on mine is red.
did you select your default color?
Also saw this review on Amazon, so just a little confused.
Thanks
ok that’s simple enough, I figured that was it
I assume you did like me and left the rock light power switch on and stuffed everything inside/behind the cross bar trim panel?
The under glow might be cool too??Having been unhappy with the interior lighting of the Bronco, I upgrade the interior lighting using Govee LED under lighting kit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0969PDDP5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and wired it to Aux 6 Switch.

Yes I did leave the power switch on. I actually have the lights loose right now I was playing with different locations with double sided tape before I run them permanently. I do like the OPs placement though and am probably going to go with that. I think I’m going to design some kind of slightly angled mount for the fronts and 3D print it so it looks a little cleaner.
The trim panels for over the doors are held in place with 2 screws, the rear piece is clipped in place.
yea, the soft top gives a much better option. I’m still looking at a way to get mine totally above the airbag.
Is yours a soft top or hard? I can’t use OP’s placement for the front bc I have a hard top.
Yes it is a soft top. I am looking to make a bracket that mounts to the bracket for the hard top. It’s kind of a perfect placement. Far enough forward that you get light in the front seat without blinding you and enough in the back to light up the rear seating area. I would just like a cleaner look so will be making a bracket to make it look more factory. If I can take a look at a hard top to see how it mounts I can maybe design it to clip on the bottom and clear any hardware that the hard top has. I’ve never really looked at how they are when the panels are installed.
looks like you are blocking your airbags. You dont want those lights shooting at you in an accident. looks like you screwed them too. I would check for damage to the airbag.I got mine mounted pretty good with 3m tape
I bought the 6 pack for my 4 door
yea I got the 6 pack of these for $44
So, I’m using 3m tape I didn’t want to drill.
