light bar installiation help

My 50" Curved Cree bar just came in today! So excited it came In earlier than I expected. Can't wait to install or I'll maybe take it somewhere to get it installed cause I know I'm going to need help and specially on the wiring part lol any suggestions on how to install it? Mainly the wiring part

 

Did you buy a switch?
How are you going to turn it on?

 

I'm sure it came with it. I haven't open the package that has all the wiring yet. Lol I was running late for class so ill Check it out when I get home

 

If it came with a "standard" harness with a relay, most of it is just plug n' play and finding a place for your switch. Personally I bought my LED bar from another TW member and outfitted it with some deutch connectors for the positive and negative, and wired up the positive/neg from the harness with the other end of the deutch plug. You don't have to be fancy though, I've seen people use insulated/waterproof butt connectors, it's just not my taste in how I wanted to wire my stuff up.

Rest of it is connecting the fused positive to power (battery in your case probably) and the negative to a good ground....I just used the battery body ground bolt (you'll see a small wire coming off from battery negative to body, affixed with a screw). The harnesses I've bought just tie the relay negative in with the negative that runs to the LED light so you don't need multiple ground wires.

The annoying part is running your switch wires thru the firewall via whichever access point you want. Most just go through the boot that the main wiring harness goes through on the driver side. Then route those wires to location of choice and affix your switch as you like.

I threw away the included crap switch and bought some switches from OTRATTW to use for my electronics.

Also check your LED harness fuse. The harness I bought had a 40A fuse which was overkill for my lightbar and wouldn't have done me much good for circuit protection purposes.

 

I checked the wiring package and yes It did come with all of its proper wiring plus the switch
