    For those of you who are running Squadron Sports for your ditch lights, how are you able to get it to power with a switch panel?

    I should have tested the lights prior to completing wiring to see if the lights would power up. I did this prior to my CaliRaisedLED ditch lights and they worked, but I'm not sure what step I did wrong in the process of trying to wire up my Squadron Sports to my Auxbeam.

    So what I did was cut the 2 plugs from the relay, fuse, and switch leaving the plugs (Black and White) on its' own.

    Twisted the whites to whites, and blacks to blacks to create a split for the Black and White wire that would eventually run to the Auxbeam. Crimped the twisted whites to the single white wire, and crimped the twisted blacks to the single black wire.

    I figured white to whites and blacks to blacks would be correct, but is this the reason why there isn't any power running to the ditch lights?

    Educate me on this...

    If you don't have power running to the aux switch these are wired to there will be no power to run these lights. Cutting off the wiring harnesses batter hookup will make this harness solely rely on the power coming from your aux switches. The way you have the harness now would be our 64-0117 harness mod allowing you to utilize the pair harness to any powered aux switches or switch units that supply power. The Squadron Sports will require 2.2 amps or 30 watts per light to illuminate.
    Best,
