So my light bar came in while I was at work and I had a 9 hour shift today so it was killing me knowing it was just sitting waiting for me. Anyway, got home with just enough light to get started. The hook up was the exact same as the light pods so that wasnt the hard part.

I pretty much just mirrored the first wiring harness so I have 4 red wires coming of the positive battery terminal, 2 black wires coming off the negative terminal and 2 grounded wires. Very simple. The hard part though was figuring out how to mount it. Its a 32 inch so it fit very snug in between my grill guard (ill have pictures showing that).

The brackets made it not fit so I drilled a hole on each side of the grill guard, which was a pain in the ass to make them line up correctly, but I got it eventually!

Like I said, very easy install if you have experience with any type of wiring what so ever. And holy ****, its so damn bright! For 40 bucks, im super pleased! One of my favorite addons so far. Not only is it very bright but it looks pretty bad ass too. :naughty:

If you guys have any questions shoot them my way and ill help as best as I can :favorites13:

Now I just gotta figure out where to put these light bars. I think behind the upper and lower grille is the only place on my truck...

Probably two 8-10in bars for the bumper cutouts and maybe a couple pods for reverse lights. Or some single rows for reverse lights

Thanks! Yeah for sure. There are better ones on there but I believe this one is made by cree. But for 40 bucks its worth every penny.

Just remember to seal it up with silicone. I think some water got into mine when I took it to the car wash. There wasnt any moisture behind the lense but some of the LED's in the bar were flickering on and off. All is well now though. I think the water that was in there just got burnt off maybe. lol Idk. It works now so thats all im concerned about. :roflsquared:
