30" Light Bar Install - Easier Than You Might Think

I installed a Rigid E2 30" using the Cali Raised brackets. It definitely made it a little harder but I got it done. The light was a little shorter so the supplied bolts weren't long enough. I used an assortment of washers and a pair of longer bolts and got it in.

 

That would have made my job easier since I had short and long bolts if the bracket slots were the same size as my bolts. Modifying $60 brackets pretty much sucked. I'm not sure how you managed to get all those washers in there. My big mitts gave me fits without a stack. Well done.

 

@pwalnut how'd you get highs and fogs at the same time?

 

I think I misspoke.

In the photos in my write-up, I'm pretty sure I did:

• Lightbar
• Lows + fogs
• Lows + fog + lightbar
• Lows + highs + lightbar

 

Damn, i was hoping you found a solution to the 3rd gen, any time fog light mod situation.

 

Wire the fogs to the parking lights

 

I think there is a write-up on how to do it for the 3rd gens, just have to find it

 

Ya its kind of a toss up...I went with the Rago Fab brackets and a black Kodiak bar. I also ended up having to grind out the bracket slots to fit the bar bolts..

 

But I want all my cake when I eat it!

 

lol I feel ya man...I was all ok this install is going to be easy...BOOM right off the bat the bolts dont fit

Install is easy though switch and all.

 

Sub'd for later. Nice write up

 

So I have a Rough Country wiring harness and the wires to the switch are White, Black, and Blue.

Black - Negative
Blue - Positive?
White - Control?

I cannot see how the wires go into the relay due to covers and housing

 

See below for some posts that may be helpful

 

Thanks.

Will it harm anything to have the power and control wires backwards? I'm sure the black is ground so it can't be wired in reserve polarity... At least the black better be ground....

 

That looks really good!

Would you be able to take some more photos of where the bar is mounted and how much room is around it? I want to do this but I think my supercharger cooling pump might be in the way of where the bar would go.

This is where my pump is mounted.

 

I don't think so, you should be okay. One of my quotes I put was for someone else that may have had the same harness as you if the colors were the same.

 

But that was backwards of what the other guy said about his white and red wire. That's why I'm confused

 

So this works. Going to solder up tonight and install. Not going to mess with the constant light wire. It lights up when the bar is on

Rough Country harness and Mictuning switch.

Harness to switch
Black to black
Blue to red2
White to green

 

Thanks for the help. All done

It's a darker blue

 

Great thread. One of the few mods I plan on adding.
