That is sick. I saw one of the ram trucks that was lifted and put like a 60" bar under his front bumper - pretty wild.

You got a ground, power and acc
Most lighted rocker switches have three wires, just a toggle usually has 2 wires.

see the reason I asked is that my wiring kit that came with my light bar is a push button..and I think only 2 wires going to it...to the battery and the light bar. I could be wrong....am I ?

I did this but I have the active shutter system. Removing that causes a CEL, so consequently, I didn't leave it that way for long. I installed a 20" LED bar.

If I'm reading this right you installed the 20" on top of the active shutter system. Care to share the details? I would like to do this and wire it in so they come on with the High Beams.

I have a shop trying to figure how to mount lights with the active shutter. What does the shutter do?

Stock slat grille blocks too much light. The grille slats have a downward slant to them. I have 2 10" Cree bars behind my grille. No grill the output would be awesome.
