I'm looking into getting off road lights on my truck soon. I'm not sure when but I wanted to get some input to consider.
On my ram I have the bed bars, or "roll bar", whatever they're called. I am planning on adding lights to it, I'm thinking four 6" lights on the bar. Has anyone wired lights on a bar like this before? I'm thinking the simplest way to do this would be to wire them down the bar, through the bed then underneath the truck to the front where I would connect them - but I've never wired lights before. Would this be the easiest way to do this?
I am also looking into adding a light bar to the grill, behind the grill, on the bumper, something of that nature - maybe even doing this instead of the lights on the bar for the time being. I've debated adding some short light bars next to where the flood lights go(if I had them). Where would be the easiest place to mount lights on the front? I'm open to any ideas y'all might have, even other ideas outside just lights. I'm looking to add character to my truck and make it look nice, haven't changed anything up much since I got it.
Thanks everyone in advance.
