Got my light in today. I got rough country 20in black series LED light bar and a pair of there led reverse lights with DRL function. I will post up picture of the Install as I go and any questions I have.
First off my rocker switches have led lights that light up the words light bar and rear lights. Heres my plan, for now I plan on hooking up the lower lights to the parking light via fuse tap in the fuse box. so the lower lights on the switch come on only when the head lights/parking lights come on. The top lights on the switch come on when they are powered up reguardless. Question are fuse taps reliable and a good way to rob power or should I tap directly into a wire and solder the wires together?
The reverse light I will say are pretty soild. The harness included with them is alot better than I figured it would be. It has quality connectors nice sheathing to protect it , I'm very impressed for the money. These light have DRL function and I will use the DRL function as my supplement back up lights. I will tap into my trailer wiring for the back up light switch wire and then there will be a rocker switch in the cab to turn on the main "flood" function. This will help hooking and unhooking trailers at night or anytime I need a little extra light. The lights will be flush mounted in the rear bumper.
The front led light. It is the 20 in black series it looks great I'm going to mount in in the lower grill insert. I will cut out the lower mesh and flush mount it between the front parking sensors. Also I plan on installing my switches next to the usb plugs in the center console. The picture (not my truck I have the 8.4) I'm posting has it circled where I will be installing the switches as long as I have room I think i should as the OEM CD player goes there if equipped.
Hopefully by the end of next weekend I will have everything mounted and wired up. I will post pictures along the way any questions comments or concerns send them.
