How did you do all your wiring? And keep it organized?

Zip ties and conduit. Do you know how to wire in a relay and a fuse with a switch? You have to have all of it for it to operate safely and effectively.

Not that hard. Just ground the light bar to the frame and follow this schematic. Hardest part is running wires, not hooking it up. If you use a switch with an led in it the third wire is just the ground for the switch.

How you have it wired up? To your fogs? I want a spot led. For farther away. So maybe with my high beems? Or a separate switch?

Lol, no... I blur my plates for DMV searches that can be done here in the states to get personal data.

All my lights are wired and switched independently of each other. Bumper light is a spot/flood, but I screwed that up and will have to fix it. If you can cram a 2 row light in there that would be the best option for light output. Every thing is run to my switches inside...
