    when you guys rotate
    your tires do you just go front to back - back to font? or do you cross the front tires? I have ben told both ways is the way to do it.

    I take front to same side rear, that rear to opposite side front. That front to same side rear and rear to opposite side front. So left front, left rear, right front, right rear. And I just have 2 tires off at a time. The first tire you take off will remain off until you're finished.




    If that makes any sense.

    Ordered one of these. Going to wire the relay to the high beams with a override switch so i can turn the bar off when i want to use my high beams onroad. Anyone have any experience with opt7's led bars? ive had a set of their HIDs an they were real nice quality.

    It doesn't really matter which way you do it as long as it's done the same every time and after 4 rotations (5 if you have the spare in the mix) the tires should end up on the same side. I usually bring the rears forward and cross the front to the opposite rear side. The only logic behind doing it that way is that the fronts will have some cupping and more less on the shoulders (probably) and going to the opposite side rear will even it out quicker? Again, it really doesn't matter as long as you're consistent.

    toccatas are wired negative switched for the headlights. LED bars are wired to be switched on the Positive side unless otherwise stated.

    this wil help you in your quest. You are Converting - - -

    Convert a Negative Output to a Positive Output http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page1.asp

    I do these in my boxes i build for people all the time

    Michael, if you wire it in this manner, when your high beams are on so will the light bar. Given that you use the trigger from the High Beams.
