From a technical standpoint, the installation is separate from but must respect your Tahoe's core electrical framework, particularly the headlighting system. It is paramount to ensure that your decorative lighting does not interfere with the vehicle’s essential safety lights. The installation should never tap into the wires for your 2000 Chevy Tahoe led headlights, brake lights, or turn signals. This could cause backfeed, confuse vehicle modules, or lead to circuit overload. The proper method is to wire the rock light/underglow control module’s power directly to the battery through a dedicated fuse, with its switch or trigger connected to an accessory or ignition-only fuse. This ensures the lights can only operate when you choose, independent of the vehicle's safety lighting systems.

The goal is a robust setup that looks professional and avoids damage from debris or corrosion.
