    Hopefully this is the right subforum to ask. Installing an extreme LED light bar with their intended wiring harness. I’ve come to find out that there is like 4 extra feet of wire that I now need to hide. Where has everyone been hiding this extra wire? Pulling it into the cab and hiding under the dash or tucking it in the bay?

    It is your truck

    Myself I would pull it into the cab and cut off the access unless cutting at the light is easier

    .I size universal wiring kit long enough for most applications

    Any reason why you can`t ?

    When running Custom wiring unless the user wants it left long I cut it off.

    well I feel dumb. Didn’t even think about cutting it . However I still don’t think that will fix all my issues as the harness is shaped like an octopus and I’m not looking to rebuild the entire harness. That should clean it up some though. Thanks for the suggestion.

    I wonder why it is shaped like that A light bar not like fog lights where you need a split.

    extra cable ties holding it together??

    Cut and splice, or hide behind fogs.

    probably because the light bar runs two different color lights that you can run independently.

    You could fold it up, electrical tape and put flex tube over it.

    Also looks like the flexible downspout drains for your rain gutters
