    Hey guys,
    Could use some wiring help.

    I installed my LED bar yesterday and it came with this wiring kit:


    http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D1CQVIY?pc_redir=1408455675&robot_redir=1

    And it has 3 wires from the relay to the switch (black, white and blue).

    I picked up this switch locally for $5 that I'd like to use, but not sure how the wires from the harness would be setup to it?

    http://m.ebay.ca/itm?itemId=321179078058

    Any one help out here? I'll be brutally honest about my wiring skills, and they're very inexperienced, so need some blunt instruction!

    Thanks guys.

    So can you connect 7 and 8 together, and then to a ground?

    2 and 3 would be white and blue wire from current harness (I think.. Would have to figure out what those wires connect to?).

    Do you have to connect 6?

    I used a rocker switch from pepboys, it only had three posts one for the led inside, on for pos and one for neg. Hopefully you already figured out that blue is the hot, white is pos and black neg. GL with install.

    With wiring, if you are not comfortable get assistance it doesn't take much for a fire to happen.
    Yes you can run both negatives together, I'm not familiar with the wiring of the relay to the switch so do a search on Google and multiple light bar installs with pop up.

    I actually just tapped mine in to the park light circuit.Didn't need them to be dim-able. You can tap into the wires at the light switch, under the steering wheel cover.
