What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[mountie]

I used LED strips with 3M high bond adhesive tape on them, cleaned the area with alcohol and dry wiped it, and stuck them in place across the bottom of the door. They’re still on 2 years later.

Good to know.... Thanks!!

I was hesitant to trust the plastic finish of the door panels to hold the 3M glue strip for a long enough time.

I put them on the metal of the door, not the panel. Not sure what your intention is but mine was to light up the ground when the doors are opened, like puddle lamps on steroids. I’m not sure how well they would hold on plastic.

My reason for the LEDs too.. ( It bugged me the puddle lights are lit for a short moment)
I had considered mounting on the actual panel so if the panel does get removed, it stays on the panel & no wires to disconnect. I will figure both surfaces, and see what I come up with.

You can splice into the door light harness--if you have those on the rear doors--and drop the wires down between the door panel and door.

Here you go guys. They're wired into the door light wires like Tony said. Bright as hell at night, they really light up the ground. I just bought a roll of cut-to-length LED strip lights. You just cut them to whatever length you need, and peel the rubber coating off at one end which exposes the soldering pads. I used heat shrink tube over where the wires connect to waterproof that part.
