I've got a light mount, led light bar & 6 pod lights that I would like assistance with installing when they arrive: I've installed plenty of lights before, but with the upfitter switches...not so much. I'm a hands on learner & although quite intelligent, sometimes have a difficult time puttingwritten instructions/electrical diagrams to use.
any assistance one might be able to provide would be met with great beer & conversation

Where are you located at and what year truck are you working on?

I'm in Mountlake Terrace on the king/snoho line

2014 F350SD Lariat+ SC LWB 4X4

 

With my Transmission being down that would be
a little too far for me right now. But we do have some
members up that near you.

so, please, by all means, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I see it:

1) after mounting my lights (I HOPE they're females

2) power wire from lights to pass through wire

3) opposite end of pass-through to wire for whichever particular switch I should choose to use

4) simple as that...no <additional> relays needed & simply be mindful of amp rating of accessories

can it really be this simple

 

Depending on what brand of lights you got it should come with all the wiring, I know Rigid does.

If not then could you post a picture of the wiring diagrams that come with the lights?

 

thanks: I got it figured out: if anyone didn't know & wants to:
1) black wire to negative terminal of battery
2) red to pass-through wire in engine compartment
3) opposite end of same color "pass through wire" to upfitter switch wire

VIOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What, no truck ****?

We need pictures! haha

 

off-brand 180W LED light bar on an N-Fab light bar with multi-mount. there are 6 more "pods" that I'll be installing, but they're still in transit: at least I"ve got a little more light for our logging road travel tomorrow evening




this first shot is nothing...just the lights from a local business & a street ligh



Now we move into the "low beams only shot


High beams


off brand 28" (60 LED's) 180W Led light bar - spot/flood combo. I've still got a bit of aiming to do, but that comes this weekend

 

Very nice upgrade.

It's a long ways down the road for me to worry about light bars but it's nice to know how well the cheaper ones work and if they last.

 

Did someone say free beer?
