My lightbar....

[sbarron]

I'm looking to get a 40-42 inch curved light bar for my front bumper. How many watts is yall's light bar? I'm looking to get one off of eBay. Also I purchased a rocker switch off of amazon and most of the light bars I see on eBay have the one with the switch built in. I don't like that switch. Is there a wire harness yall can recommend that is the right wattage for the light bar and the switch. I just want to do every properly and not screw anything up. When it comes to wiring lights, I'm clueless.

At 40" you're in the amperage that you'll need a relay. At that point, you can use any switch you want.

Is there a wire-harness I can get that will have the relay and not have that other switch attached to it.

I was under the bumper a minute ago looking at the plastic cover. I have a 2015 1500 express. Will a light bar even fit in the bumper right there? I just looked a little small to me.

Yes it will. You can fit up to a 42 inch. Just get any harmed you see and buy a separate switch that you like. They are pretty cheap.

I also see wire harnesses with 1 lead or 2 leads. Which one would I get for a 42 inch light bar? Also what is a good wattage for a light bar to be? I see some that 240 watt, 300 watt, and so on.

I have had both. Not a huge difference. Just purchase a lightbar that comes with the harness.

Had to switch my switch location. I kept hitting it with my knee when I got in an out of the truck.

Also ordered a replacement panel.

did you have any issues mounting switches right here? this is where i would like to mount mine? that piece just pops out right?

That will work, I'm unsure of the 560W and 56,000 lumen claim. Just make sure it's 18AWG anything smaller will melt. From the looks of it you will not have an issue.

Is it advisable to mount a bar in the bumper with aluminum instead of steel? Much easier to cut and drill.

Yes, aluminium will work just fine.

?????????? Looking at where the lightbar needs to be mounted it requires a mount that raises it above the tans cooler. Can anyone one point me in a direction as to where I can find some.
