    What’s the part you think you might have trouble with?

    there are a lot of YouTube videos to assist if needed and questions here.

    might be someone to help out as well

    Come to SD and I’ll do it. Brackets then wiring with the right harness is easy. You got a switch?

    man you got this!!! It’s not bad if you go one side at a time and mount the lights to the brackets first before install. I did mine and and even changed the brackets out for different ones. Most annoying part is running the switch wiring through the fire wall, even then not bad.

    Running the wire through the fire wall is the part I’m not confident

    that’s fair, the best way is to use a screw driver to pull back the main harness boot and then feed the wire through. Many use the clothes hanger push or pull method and it’s okay and kinda sketchy if you miss.

    screw driver to pull the boot back and feed the wire through. There is also a spot in the firewall you can drill through that has nothing behind it and then can feed the wire through. The area is the white circle in my photo on my firewall

    I can tomorrow, it’s too dark to see right now. There is another option if you plan on running more accessories; a switch panel like Aux beam or switch pro. Then you have to only run the switch panel through the firewall once and then everything else hooks up under the hood

    Metal clothes hanger is the way to go. Make a little hook at the end of it and wrap it with some electrical tape and your good to go.

    This makes it so easy, but then you’ll have extra switches left over. So you know what that means…. More lights! Hahaha!!!
