Why wouldn’t you connect it to the auxiliary switches like Ford has prewired everything for 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@edgarloza4636]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It clearly has it.

[@ccclaw13]

Very odd indeed. Plus it would help to see how to do it properly. I'm guessing they uninstalled it right after this

[@miceshinoda]

Yea not sure why, though it might be that you'd have to drill a hole to get the light bar wires through

[@ccclaw13]

@@miceshinoda the wires are tied up under the hood by the firewall so it would actually be even easier than what they did

[@bryan70546]

Does this bronco have the AUX switches? If not then that would explain why they did it the way they did.

[@t28001]

Dont pinch that wire between the rubber plug and the firewall - simply cut a slot in the rubber so the wire is not frayed on the metal - the whole point of the rubber is to make sure you dont cause a short when that wire rubs on that sharp metal edge.

[@anonymoushuman524]

Okay 2 questions here. 1. The gap created by the light bar's wire into the bonnet. Won't water go through it when it rains or car wash? 2. How do I cut the switch wire and just connect the whole thing to auxiliary switches?

[@mutmasterj]

What wire color do I use if I wanted to use aux switch instead?

[@t28001]

For this light - you should use Aux Switch 1 - which is the Yellow wire - that yellow wire - needs to connect to the brown and white wire which goes to the glove box.

[@grimreefer5159]

There is a wire that runs up the passenger side mounting bracket but the video I saw said you have to drill a hole to access it. Not a fan of that. You're best bet is to search op a diagram of the aux switch wiring.

This is clearly not a permanent install XD what a mess.

[@j4yp3r]

Was that wiring ran down the outside of the a-pillar? That's not considered "installed". Also that wound up excess wiring that was zip-tied and tucked inside the fender is not considered "clean" wiring. This video would be great if I had a rust bucket of a 4-wheeler but definitely not an install standard on a $60k vehicle.

[@ExtremeTerrainBronco]

You can tie this into the factory auxiliary switches (circuit D) if you prefer not to see the wire and have that option available!

[@Sighlense]

So then go ahead and drill a hole in your 60K vehicle for your "clean" install. Nobody's stopping ya...

[@classictravis]

How do you wire to the Aux Switch? Do you have to cut LED cable?

[@ExtremeTerrainBronco]

You would have to cut and splice into the auxiliary switches. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

[@t28001]

Aux 1 to 50" light bar goes...... Yellow wire in Aux bundle to Brown/White or solid white which goes from Engine Bay to behind glove box - from Glove box there is a wire that goes up the A Pillar (its Grey and Orange) - connect the wire you chose brown/white or solid white to that grey/orange wire. - I will also add - grounding of a light up here is super important - use the Ground on the passenger side airbag above the window - its solid and this way all your connections are inside the vehicle - way cleaner and easier to manage than other videos I have seen trying to ground outside on the mount points.

[@classictravis]

@@t28001 Thank you!!

[@jethroise6245]

​@t28001 you can splyce straight into the yellow aux 1 wire in the engine bay. No need to route the aux yellow wire to thr circuit unless you want to route the light bar cable to a different part of the truck

[@richardsturgis7540]

Does this make noise while driving

[@anonymoushuman524]

It does for me.

[@frasersmith9747]

How do I link this to the aux? =

[@ExtremeTerrainBronco]

Ford has wiring diagrams specifically for this! However, for this lightbar you can tie this into the Non-Power Circuit 'D' (Grey/Orange wire) which comes out of the the right hand visor. That corresponding wire that's pre-routed to the engine bay can be attached to any of the AUX switch you choose!

[@roberttaskerjr]

How sloppy. Ford has uplifter switches for lighting.

[@bryan70546]

Not every bronco has them

[@grimreefer5159]

So just leave a big ass wire flopping all over the windshield? "professional"

[@darrendaine4914]

Another useless explanation that doesn't show how the wire goes up to the light bar on top down the a pillar and in under the hood That's the important part how crappy does it look that they don't even show you?

[@osamaismymama7907]

Most of them are stuffing the wire in the gap between the windshield and the A pillar, then using silicone to keep it on to the A pillar in the gap. They didn’t do that here in this one because I’m sure they immediately took it off.
