    I need a bit of guidance on installing the caliraised switch, the factory looking one. The info I received from caliraised was for their harness. I'm using a generic auto zone harness. I would like to know what the green, red 1 and red 2 go to. Thanks!

    Green comes from your power source, ideally with a fuse. This can either be straight from the battery, or from switched ignition power. Ignition power is the better choice. This is to power your relay, so it does not need to be a big wire, or a big fuse. Most relay coils draw about .25 amps, so 18g wire and a 2 amp fuse is more than enough. Note that if you wire it straight from the battery, the light bar will function even with the truck off.

    Red 1 will go to your relay coil. Either relay coil terminal will work.

    Red 2 will be connected to your dash light circuitry. You can jumper a wire from a nearby switch.

    Black is obvious.

    I'm currently in the process doing the same setup, just waiting on the switch from Amazon, although I'm wiring mine so that it only comes on with high beams. That way I don't have to turn on/off high beams and LED bar at the same time.
