Classic...unfortunately it's hit or miss as to whether instructions are included. Should be 3 wires I believe, flood, spot, ground. Ground is obvious and then one will activate the two rows of flood optics and one the two of spot optics. I ended up wiring those two to a single wire so the whole light turns on at once. I used 14 gauge wire for them and have never had an issue. Are they still coming with the 3-wire weatherproof plug? Those 7560's are huge!! Are they going up on the rack?
Yeah, those babies are pretty huge! There is a PDF on their site for the installation, it just tells you which wires are which in the Deutsch connector, and tells you to wire the other Deutsch connector that way. I'll have to experiment a bit regarding putting them on the rack...
Saw this at shop I was getting some work done. Will do this to my King Ranch next month. Weatherguard tool box, Ranch Hand headache rack with LED lights and with integrated bed rails, Ranch Hand brush guard all painted to match.

That is sharp. That is exactly what I'm looking for regarding rails. I have a weatherguard tool box....

I have a bunch of sketches from when I was working on the Magnum design consisting of how I was planning to mount these lights using their accompanying mounts and unfortunately they don't seem to be easily mounted on a vertical surface. I had wanted to make a curved aluminum block to replace the small one which bolts to the bottom of the light, thus allowing the bracket to be mounted higher up in the rear. Ended up having 45 degree mounts added to the rack to simplify it. Can't wait to see what you come up with! I would have got those big ones but back when I bought them they were mounted on my back rack brand rack and the mounts were not quite wide enough for those suckers!

HOLY cow those are huge. Big enough that they come with TWO mounts each...crazy. So much light, that's what I love about mine. Never have an issue seeing behind me when plowing...nice job man those look awesome up there with the beacon in the middle!!

Thanks, I am pretty happy with them. They certainly light up the night, just have to remember to shut them off and not blind anybody. Kind of disappointing that they don't come with a wiring harness. I was ambitious at first, planned on wiring the floods separate from the spots. Went to two auto parts stores looking for three conductor fourteen gauge wire, couldn't find any. Ended up buying a black oil resistant 14 gauge extension cord at home cheapo. I could not get the connectors that came with the lights to work. Had to make my own. Happy with the final outcome though.

I'm shocked! I sell 14/3 oil/weather resistant rubber sheathed wire at my hardware store (we're an Ace) and I use it for automotive all the time! I too abandoned the idea of wiring them separately. It took me quite a while to get those little triangle connectors to work. HUGE pain in the you know what...

Yeah, I had quite a bit of time invested mounting the lights on the Magnum rack, had to grind some nuts to fit the slot..I put the pins on the wires, and even put a bit of solder. I plugged it in to do a test on the battery, no joy. After several attempts those ends were chopped......It would be so simple to include 25-30 feet of wire with the ends already on, or so it seems to me......

Reason: Edit
I went on the road today for the first time since mounting the lights. I can hear them whistling in the cab.... I'm thinking it's space between light and the bracket causing the problem? Need to do something about that.....
Hmmmm..... Maybe that little space where the bolt heads are? Had the same issue with a ski rack once. Kept wrapping suspected whistlers in aluminum foil until I found the culprit!
BTW, does that Magnum logo look easy to remove? I’m kind of an anti-sticker Guy.

I hadn't looked closely at the sticker, will check it out tomorrow...

Oh mine whistle too. I always thought it was the aluminum fins on the rear. I learned to live with it....
i have a quick question if i may. I recently purchased the magnum wiring harness to wire my new headache rack. I have 17 F250 with the ghost trailer issue. I initially wired the lights to the 7 way running down the frame but now it constantly says I have a trailer and senors dont work. I have read this forum several times and I believe the magnum harness will address my ghost trailer issue, just dont know where it is supposed to connect to the truck wiring. I see that it is a T with stock Ford connector, but where does this ford connection get plugged in? I am unable to locate a similar connector on the truck. I see one connection at the rear of the truck on the inside of the frame on passenger side, but the wire colors do not match so I am reluctant to lug it in until I have some assurance that is where it belongs. Any help would be appreciated
Jbaldwin2, I'm sorry I can't answer your question, mine was installed by someone else...Regarding the whistling, I taped up the little space where the bolt heads are, no joy. I will turn the lights the other way to see if it is the fins. Regarding the Magnum sticker, I'm not sure if it even a sticker. Not something I would attempt to remove...
BTW, does that Magnum logo look easy to remove? I’m kind of an anti-sticker Guy.
Yes, it's a sticker. It's starting to peel off the rack on the company truck. Definitely will come off!

Face the rear of your truck. Locate the trailer hitch receiver. If you were to slide right under the back of the truck feet first so that you would be looking straight up at the bottom of the receiver (where your trailer hitch would slide in), look to your right. On the inside face of the hitch on the passenger side is where this plug is. My truck had two plugs attached to that inside face - one actually plugged into the harness and another plug capped just sitting there. It's one of those. I can provide a photo this evening if you'd like. Magnum harness WILL fix your issue.
