I installed a 42" curved light bar on my 16' Ram 2500. I put it in the lower bumper. Took 10 mins to take off clip then I made 2 brackets that mount to the bumper support. It sits pretty flush, I may have to adjust the bar so I can make it for best ise on the road

My question is the wiring coming from the relay. I'm guess 2 goto the light, 2 goto the battery and the last one is the switchpleae let me know if I'm doing this right. Would like to have it hooked up tomorrow

I'm not sure well you can see. But they are 3 sets of wire. One is the switch one has a positive and negative on it and the last one is real long with 2 male clips on the end just wondering if that's for the light

Thanks again!!

Here is a diagram of how they are usually wired. Hope this helps.

Hey thanks for the help. The wiring harness itself was pretty self explanatory. It's really bright and I love it. Just have to figure out a good place to mount the switch. Right now I have it laying in the center console. And it's just 3m tape on one side so it sticks to something. Might do that fI rnow until I get a aux button for where the controls are for the heated seats and steering, etc !!

Installed mine last week in the dark. Never knew that panel was there haha. Just went out and ran it behind and through that panel for a better spot than just tucked down by my seat rails haha.

FYI who ever reads this...I have a Rough Country, the difference in our harnesses is like a brand new Mercedes Benz vs a Geo Metro on fire :uhoh2: Not trying to insult, just be careful with the cheaper stuff.
