LIGHTS! The more the merrier!

[mongo]

if it hasn't been answered before, i can confirm that an OEM lightbar easily integrates into a CT not just a CB!
purchased one here on the forum and installed it myself. I believe the green wire carries data, but i also noticed that there is something that looks like an IR port on the bottom of the bar. i was careful not to cover it, as it may communicate with the camera bay. Either way i have full control through the software. i even figured how to integrate my Sasquatch lights with the bar. Though i understand that they are now called Zombie lights not Sasquatch lights.

Green wire is LIN control data. No secondary optical data link on the bottom of the bar.

So what is this then?

So what is this then?

Probably a fixturing feature for assembly. I see no transparency in that hole, nor does the lightbar require line of sight (nor even mounting) on the vehicle to function.

Yet more lights. Rock lights/underglow are cool but the install is a bitch. running through all 4 fenders, under the frunk, five of the mudflaps, and of course the running boards. but it sure looks cool, and they go with the light-shows. Microphone activated!

How do they work with the light show?

I'm looking of an after market light bar that does not attach to the windshield
Can recommend one

There's a microphone, probably in the controller. That is installed under the frunk. I played 007 and it picked up the base line. I had the volume set at default, so I'm happy. Should work even better with the volume at full.

I got a 6 and a 4 for 10 lights. if you do that you have to get a splitter.

This is an insanely cool thread. I just realized you were open to interior lights too.
I have lots of those. Hang tight. Pics to follow.

Anyway. My interior theme is kind of “trashy limo” but my family and I really like it. It’s one of the things that makes cyberbandit unique.
Almost everything in there can be made to dance to music and there are many many color combos which change seasonally. So there is a lot of red and green or candy cane colors around Christmas etc. lots of blue and white for hanukah and so forth.
Took some work but I’m happy with it and would be delighted to share tips if anyone is interested in a specific part of it.

Finally got the right night to get pictures of my new Chase Lights, AKA Whip Lights, or Laser Lights. I think the install came out pretty clean.

Wow…please explain how to do that…
What is a whip light?

That's Awesome!
What is the star field effect. a projector?
I have the door sills and puddle lights, but mine are grafiti instead of logo.
I've seen the grid ceiling somewhere, but your pics make it incredible. I will have to get one of those! It's actually a cover of some sort, correct?
anyway, must be a blast to ride in!

A 'normal' whip light is like a lighted antenna.

I couldn't see myself with those, so i went with whip less whip lights.

The star field effect is not a projector. Those are actually fiber optics that are individually passed through drilled holes in the liner and then stuck on there with hot glue. Then the fiber optics are trimmed like you’re giving the roof liner a haircut.
It’s a shit ton of work but the results are pretty spectacular in my opinion. You can make them twinkle, dance to music, change colors and all sorts of other cool stuff.

I recognize my interior lighting is next level crazy but it’s part of what makes bandit unique.

Just to add to the crazy, note that this is the grey interior in my first Cybertruck. I actually redid this a second time on my new CT after trading it. That how much I like it.

That seems like an incredibly time consuming process. can you do that in a day? Looks fantastic. My wife gives me a hard time when i'm installing fog lights.

Yes. It’s unbelievably time consuming. Now that my wife has seen how much joy these projects bring both me and the kids she actually helps me with them.
I recognize I’ve won the lottery marriage-wise. I even like my in-laws a lot which seems to be out of the ordinary when I talk to other people.
That said..while I love diy stuff in the truck this is one project I left for the professionals.

My friend Kornell Lloyd owns a business in Phoenix that offers this service and he’s done it for me three times now in just under a day but with an assistant. So four hands and a fair amount of experience. Once in the x and twice in the CT.
It’s really awesome in my wife’s x too because of the dome type roof. Very cool effect.
Pics unfortunately do not do it justice.
