Light bar install/wiring

[jwheeler]

Where are the pics of the reverse light? Did you wore them to come on with a switch or when you put it in reverse?

I'll take some pics in a little bit. I wired them to the other switch in the cab.

I want to be able to use them for light.. Lol so not only when in reverse. I wish I had them the other night while hooking up a strap to a F250 that I had to drag (wouldn't start and locked in park) across a trail to get him out of the way.

Work light basically, they're obnoxiously bright to come on with reverse lights.

My little pods I've got back there are plenty bright but those two little bars have a lot more spread. Looks really good.

Yea.. I can be from 20 yards to 200 yards away from a very tall wall and it lights the whole building up lol.

Do you have those wired up to come on automatically with the reverse lights or are they on a separate switch?

Separate switch. Would be some pissed off people otherwise.

I figured but I was curious and had to ask.

I did this in my 2010 in the panel under and to the right of the steering wheel...

Got these switches from http://www.otrattw.net/home.php

What is the install like on something like this? Just trim out a big square into the dash?

Those switches are awesome...Definitely need to get moving on these light installs

I had them in my shopping cart... And on the way home from work I was thinking of a better place to mount them.. I just couldn't think of a better place than where mine are, and well... Kinda sad

Yeah man.... I removed that trim panel....measured several times and cut a hole....it's all good...it was below and to the right of the steering wheel.

They sell the panel and all... the switches run about $12 each or so.... definitely worth it. They are very high quality for sure.
