Light bar install/wiring

[AustinB]

Heres a few pics from the local area lol.. Id have to do some miles to get to an area with no other vehicles. Not long shots, but you get the idea.

They will both sequence low, high, led bar.
It's a flood/spot combo.

Looks good. Looks like your spot may be a little low?

I thought so too.. I adjusted it to the next notch and it was too high lol.

[sbarron]

set your bilsteins at 2.6..

 

[AustinB]

I think you mean 3.0 .. They're at 2.8

I can throw a spacer in there.


IMO

 

[AustinB]

Or 2.6 would work on the higher notch.. 3" would work on the current one.

Sorry.

Because alcohol

How was installing that Westin light mount? I just put on the same one and it required a little motivation for the bolt holes to line up.

I had the same issue on the drivers side at first.

Thanks... It only took me around 8 working hours lol! Which is embarrassing, but it has been many years since I've wired something in.. And have never used a relay before.

Looks good. Now go blind some people, get pulled over, and go to jail!
Watch out, they do this in Cali: Lunatic Stops His Car In The Middle Of A Freeway To Attack Other Driver

My first week in cali... This little geo metro was chasing down an escalade... He got close enough to him and started beating the escalade with a rubber hammer, then threw it .. I had to swerve around a hammer in the road lol... They were doing about 50 in a 35 and did not give a fk about anyone else lol.

At that moment, I knew I miss home.

Yes, the Cali road rage is strong. People in TX never try this because they could get shot in the process.

SportyJames, SO TRUE!! I would have had mine on my lap when he stopped in front of me on the highway

I could carry concealed all the way across America.. Then I had to lock it up at the CA state line. Felt naked.

What light bar is this?

 

[sbarron]

What light bar is this?

"It came with my Auxbeam Light bar" From post #17.

I got the 2 7" bars installed in the back yesterday [emoji106][emoji106]

It's not fun running wires from the back to the engine bay.. Good times.

For such small led light I would connect it directly to 12v plug inside the cab . I don't think there is no need for harness with relay from the battery for such small light.

I don't remember how much amp you can get on the 12v plug, but it was between 16-20amp. More than needed for small lightbar. Put it a 15 amp fuse and you're likely never have any problem with you truck 12v

And this is my 30" lightbar, but for this one I needed an harness with relay since it's drawing 25 amp.




This Low( Hid 4300k ) and High beam ( oem halogen )




And this is the lightbar only

 

[AustinB]

I've already tapped into the plug for my gps (trying to avoid a bird nest of wires), but the harness was free and I already had it mounted and ready to go [emoji106]

I may be adding rock lights to the same circuit.. Or on their own switch, not sure. But on the "bright" side... I can always put a 50" light bar in the back and not have to change the wiring lol.
