Lightbar Wiring How-To?

[ElJayBird]

I'm looking to install a lightbar and ditch lights pretty soon. I'd like to run the wiring into the cab and use the blank switch panel so I can control the lights independently.

I haven't done much in the way of wiring before so hoping to find a guide somewhere. I've googled around a bit but coming upon empty. Anyone know where I can find a write up?

I don’t have any guides but your welcome to give me a call sometime and I can go over some ways we (dissent offroad) have done them in the past.

Depending on the light you buy, it may come with a relay and switch. If not, you'll need to decide if you want to go "balls out" with a SwitchPros 9100 or source individual components.

Once you sort that out, it's a matter of running wires up the windshield trim (or under it), and then passing your switch wires through the driver's side firewall grommet.

I would say it's a 2 banana job, with the hardest part getting all the wires tucked away and cleaned up.

I'll add that I did want to avoid the random discoloration (not structural) that aluminum can display which could present a mottled kind of appearance in a shaley gray shade.

Where to lead wires from Engine Bay through Firewall to Cabin

I am thinking about installing flood LED lights when my nudge bar arrives. I cannot find it, but I am sure with all mods done on this forum it is an easy answer. BTW I have the 16LC. How and where in engine bay do I lead wires through firewall inside the cabin to install the switch?

Switch Panel / Switchpros Install Underhood Tap Points

Lots of people have installed these but I couldn't find a good reference as to where to tap for various things underhood. Here's my attempt to document some of the more common taps and triggers. Including a much wanted stock fog light override function. I'm using a 1/4" gland fitting to route...

Oh man - perfect! Thanks for your help!
