Light Bar Install

I’m looking at installing a Baja Designs 30” light bar on my bumper. Am I able to run a separate, single on/off switch or do I need a switch pro or something of sorts? Thanks in advance!

 

You can do either. I have a single switch going to my 30 inch grill light.

 

Exactly what @crashngiggles said, either option works for the wiring, it is totally up to you as to how you want it. But functionality it will be the same.

 

You should post a pic when you're done!

 

Just really depends on how much you plan on adding down the road.

 

As the previous post says... if you plan on other accessories, a switch pro (or similar device) makes it very easy. Only have to run the switch pro wiring through the fire wall once... and can hook up a bunch of stuff easily. if you go independent switches, then each wire will have have to go through the firewall.
Although I guess if you don't know... once you run that one wire for the light bar through, and you decide to use a switch pro or similar in the future, you can use the single wire to pull the switch pro through.

One perk of the BD light I got (I believe S8), you can separately wire the amber backlights to turn those on independently of the main light (see picture below).

I put a BD light bar behind my front grill. And honestly... it's the least used light I installed (for me... I've encountered exactly zero scenarios where I wanted to use it). Other lights (side scene lights, rear lights off the back of the roof rack and flush lights in the rear bumper all get used regularly.
