DIY LED Light Bar Harness - How-To Make Your Own

[@bunmi5125]

Dear Bleepin Jeep, I am NO reading or writing English well, just understand your speaking about 35%, but I able to follow your drawing picture and wiring the spot lights to my 2016 Toyota Hilux and it's working perfect. You are a God sent. Many many Thank you from Vietnam to you Sir and God bless you and your family.

[@danielbonner8309]

Broooo. Watch about 10 videos trying to figure out how to wire my prebought harness to not have constant power. This is the one that made it click. Youre the MAN!!

[@DarnellHannah]

I'm very thankful that you took time out to explain this whole process in this video. You are a God sent, this was a perfect video. You taught with patience, slow speech, and proper english and even had visual demonstrations. EXCELLENT

[@RealStraightTruthBroadcast]

i agree

[@oscarsanchez6233]

I followed your directions step by step for my 2003 honda civic si. The fog lights work like a charm and I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for a shop to do it. Thanks brotha!!!

[@RealStraightTruthBroadcast]

Thank you for helping many people, you just taught me a huge lesson in wiring light in 20 minutes. thank you for your patience .

[@vity44]

Very educatioal, easy to understand, the best so far Ihave seen, you shoul be a teacher. Thank you.

[@ty6896]

Hey! Best tutorial about how to wire a switch to a relay! Thank you so much! I was a little stumped when it came to wiring an LED switch to a relay.

[@11E9]

Thanks for putting this together! I just used this diagram and instructions to create my own wiring harness. It wasn't any cheaper than buying one premade for me because I didn't have any of the wiring or parts on hand, but if I ever need to make another, which I will, I have everything I need! Thanks again!

[@bowmaster24]

You saved me. Couldn't find the color diagram for my light bar and I've made peace with the fact that I need to just make a another harness. You da man!

[@nuggetzor]

This is by far the best for dummies explanation I have ever watched for lighting harnesses and the logic behind them. Thank you so much

[@ezmoney82]

I like how this guy always explains stuff thoroughly and doesn’t bullshit. Keep it up brother

[@928PvAz]

Im so so sooooooo thankful for this video. It was well detailed in just wired my very own first led pods on my 2013 F150. Because of this video, i saved money by wiring my own Led Pods. I was so scared to mess around with the cars electric, but i did, and i was sooo happy!!!!

[@lllamaaa9315]

This 100% worked, easy to do if you follow along! No wiring harness would work on my car and doing this made it work! Thank you for the help

[@bleepinjeep]

Ya no problem

[@dee3368]

You made this easy. And got right to the point.I've watched several videos on here on how to wire up these.people just ramble on about things that have nothing to do with wiring or do not show the whole process.great video thank u

[@luisacosta2280]

Bleepin Jeep is that Guy. There are so many DIY self Led light videos, why would anyone feel it necessary to make another video of a preassembled factory harness??? This guy on the other hand breaks it down to the nuts and bolts, another True DIY self video on a DIY self harnes. Friggin awesome Video Man !!!

[@mattdovi2255]

this guy is great, out of the 5 questions I had pertaining to my jeep (JK, but similarities amount many jeeps) 4 of them were answered so well I was able to do it myself. This most recent one here (wire harness) was great because my LED bar came with two fog lights as well and the wiring harness but the wing harness was cheap and i wanted to run the two fog lights and LED bar separately. Went to Advanced Auto and for $30 bought 3 packs of 14 gauge cable, connects, two fuses and relays and 30 amp fuses and was able to make the wiring harness go where I WANTED it to go as well as hook it up to the rockers I had bought.

[@walterk1221]

Don't exceed seven feet wire length using AWG #14 in a circuit fused at 30 Amps.

[@mattdovi2255]

+Walter K I've been doing it no problem. What would be the issue?

[@KoffoMotors]

This video was very helpful today. I have just been able to wire my LED off road lights to my Tundra without buying anything. Thanks for the great video. Kudos to you.

[@ronschwab75]

Finally a great video on how to make your own wiring harness THANK YOU!!!

[@salmanfarooq1354]

wow....what a tutorial. I love it. Great demonstration with short wires and connections.

[@asianredneck6259]

Best video I've found on KZbin on how to wire a relay, also took your time to let us screenshot the diagram

[@asianredneck6259]

+BleepinJeep haha your welcome, and I do watch a lot of videos from you, even thou I have a wrangler, your Cherokee is close to everything in my wrangler

[@rickeybones7952]

i just used this wiring diagram you made to wire up my led light on my atv .. I just wanted to let you know that you made a perfect video 2 thumbs up

[@bleepinjeep]

Awesome thanks!

[@aaronkarch181]

You are a extremely comprehensible teacher , visual aide is a big plus ! thank you for taking the time to make this video, truly appreciated. I am wiring a 20 inch cree bar to my 2016 argo , this will be most helpful . cheers man !

[@koraykaranfilci142]

The best and the simplest explanation ! Thanks

[@cameronishype7384]

Well done. Definitely saving me money from buying $20 harnesses and having to wait in the mail! Haha. I appreciate it man. Definitely helped.

[@JohnDoe-lm3oj]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You're an mvp

[@Strider-bc2iq]

One of the most useful videos ive ever watched on youtube

[@kingkrapper108]

Thank you for your help I finally got my lights working after billions of videos yours worked

[@paxtonwirtz]

Most helpful way to understand replays and a 101 for any wiring thank you

[@moesislek4902]

Thank you very much. The pre-owner of my xj jamboree installed it like your cheap way. Now i can install it the good way. Greets from austria

[@bleepinjeep]

Moe Sislek Danke

[@jasonp4860]

thanks for the diagram, helped me hook up my own harness instead of buying a cheap one.

[@qualityreno9689]

best tutorial on the subject on youtube. thank you for posting this.

[@trials_bike-xu3xf]

This is exactly what I needed thank you for such a great demonstration. Cuz I got a used light bar and it has the in line fuse but no relay or switch and not nearly enough wire. I already have a spare relay and plenty of spare wire. All I need to buy is the mounting brackets and the switch. I just am not the best with wiring yet so this video will help a lot!!!

[@bleepinjeep]

no problem, thanks for subbing!

[@LSEtrucks]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Lots of useful Information for someone like me who's never hood up lights!

[@hwajeongkid25]

I see a light at the roof of my SUV! This video works great! Time well spent thanks a lot

[@WestWire]

Great video I just got a 22 inch light bar for my truck and have a wiring harness from fog lights I never installed found a 40amp relay from a stereo wiring kit I removed from a car I traded in and with the switch from the fog light wiring kit is a 15 amp fuse which I now know thanks to this video how to properly and safely put together. Thanks

[@roberthayes5249]

thanks for a great, informative and easy to follow video. This is the best on youtube for those of us that are not experienced 'auto electricians'. I will also refer friends to this when the need arises. I'll definately be following it word for word when I fit a light bar and other lights to my '97 TJ. Regards. Bob-Skegness, UK

[@emzye4641]

Excellent tutorial 👊 best one out there by far. Thanks will be attempting this very soon

[@bleepinjeep]

Have fun!

[@kopyit7033]

well done mate! pretty much better and cheaper. you are good instructor.

[@3olemrac]

Thank you so much for your video, I feel more confident now to experiment in my old truck!

[@alexwen2786]

Thank you for explaining everything in simple terms.

[@emfl4437]

Excellent video, exactly what I needed to guide me through wiring leds

[@TrumanSparx]

Great video! All of the information I was looking for was here. Well done!

[@theregularguy5409]

it's crazy how informative this video is, thank you so much, now i know how to wire lights. Additionally, would the wiring be the same if i'm installing an on board compressor, or a CB radio?

[@Miikecash27]

Thank you so much for this video imma just start making my own wire harness now thanks good video

[@dynaJoe2002]

I want to thank you with your explanation and diagram It gave me the confidence to wire my our lights...Thank you thank you thank you....

[@jrodbats]

Best explanation ever! Thanks for taking the time to do this video!

[@shanestewart2955]

thanks for all the "details!" totally helped me install my led lights on my rubicon!

[@loganandmatt11]

I thought it was a great video! I used it to hook up my 20 inch light bar on a ford ranger. Allthough on the relay I had to put the wire going to the fuze in the 87a spot instead of the 30 spot then it worked great! Now all my buddies want me to hook up their lights like this!

[@mohammadkhan-gl2yw]

Nice one Thanks very easyto understand.

[@shawnmo2204]

Thank you very much. You’ve made this look like child’s play. Your explanation was perfect and easy to follow along. Liked & subscribed

[@ExploreWithSandeepG]

Brilliant , super informative and superb way of delivering technical content ... !!! Thanks a lot.

[@rastagamer4808]

Excellent job in explaining everything!!!!

[@billsmith147]

Thanks for the great video. I have been looking for this video for 6 weeks.

[@92GQ]

Nice work. Simple explanation and drawings. Glad I came across your page.

[@walterk1221]

An unmentioned issue with the pre-made harness is they are never the correct length. A DIY harness can be matched to the required length.

[@gevorgnazaryan8720]

Exactly the video I have been looking for

[@gshffr]

best video on KZbin for relay wiring. incredible job buddy!

[@Sunshine0955]

Slowly is key! Well done sir, I totally understand now!

[@farivera2815]

Very good explanation, thanks.

[@msark1741]

Thank you. Great length of information. Keep it up.

[@greym6436]

Thank Sir for sharing this tech wiring info with us. This has been something, that I have always wanted to learn! Im only comfortable with the R/C hobby car world wiring. Once again, thanks for the info bro.🤘

[@djroydj7857]

I was able to follow your drawing picture and wiring and i get my roof light work thank you

[@OHIOVALLEYFIREARMSANDBAIT]

Thank you for a great video. Easy to understand. Thank you!

[@EdgeofEternityBillCameron]

Great instructions. Thank you.

[@anthonycampbell4534]

Know this was posted years ago. I have grounded to the Kawasaki Mule frame. In line fuze continues to blow as soon as it is inserted. All positive and negative wires (14 gauge) are soldered. Relay is used. At a loss. Harness came with LED light bar and two additional spots. Harness was not long enough so used 14 gauge to lengthen.

[@KarpucMotoring]

Finally easily explained!!!

[@joemurray1279]

Sick! so neat and organized i like it. thanks for the video now i can wire up my 2 12inch light bars the right way and not the hack way!

[@minato450]

Amazing.. GOLD Content.. love it.

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

thank you for this.. im adding amber pillow strobe lights to my Ghostbusters car, and i dont know much about this stuff. i may have already blew one light, but with your help the other one will work.. one question, what size fuse should i use? and what size relay should i use? (with the relays i understand 12 volt, but some say 30 amps or 40 amps.. i am not sure?)

[@illetertPlummer]

I was gonna make one cause the light bar I ordered didn't come with one. I walked into my local autozone and they had a light bar relay kit for 10$!

[@Finesse79]

Nicely explained. Thank you!

[@joshuabushared5619]

Oh I just noticed the headlight guards are on the bumper. So sick!

[@SuperScareface007]

Excellent video

[@Gianfranco_Estremadoyro]

Great video! very well explained and very detailed, easy to understand and use! thank you!

[@p2nv]

Great video. Just wanted to know, the in line fuse from the relay to the battery determines the max output of your circuit even if the relay supports up to 40A?

[@pierremounier7305]

Hi, great video. Cleared up alot of questions I had. However there is one question which is what do you do if your switch only has 2 prong connections, not the 3 prong type? Btw, this application is for a quad. Thank you

[@ferdieveloso7937]

nice and easy to follow... thanks for the video...

[@kenadair585]

finally a video that helps me!!! great job man, very helpful!

[@katanaburner]

Very VERY well done. Thanks for the explanation. Very well done :) Thank you!

[@dewabj3941]

Thank you for your tutorial.. Very helpful!

[@colbydrake7048]

I made my own 2 to 1 harness for my dual light bars on my roof of my truck for around $30 and gonna be making another one soon due to me having a 52" and little 12" or so facing backwards

[@joshhead9368]

Awesome video man thanks a lot

[@lionwolf5768]

Thank you for this video although I didn’t build my own I was able to fix one that I ordered that was wired wrong so thank you

[@baro4178]

Very informative. I have a question for you. I purchase a 5 gang switch panel and they are all hook up together with only a positive and negative wire to hook up. I purchase a light bar harness and would like to use a switch on my panel. What is the procedure to take the switch of the light bar harness?. Thank you.

[@guilhermebarbosa3785]

Thank you that salved my installation very well done

[@cwaddy878]

Excellent explanation, thank you. You made it click for me.

[@adr8nalin92]

Great understanding of how relays work thanks will use this on projects

[@chrisarmstrong5038]

Your videos are so good...

[@ranjeetchoudhary7298]

Sir please make a video on headlight wiring harness with low and high beam connections

[@rightyouareken7587]

Good video. Best 4x4 channel on the web by far. How would I wire my new lights to a Toyota OEM fog light switch? I have blanks in my 80 series dash where I want to put a toyota fog light switch. I would rather not use a generic off/on switch. Thanks

[@rightyouareken7587]

shop.cruiserparts.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_40_205&products_id=33929&zenid=ddc7085a6badd38651ebf383e78a6a36

[@saldav420]

Great video bro thanks

[@bigshortstack2929]

An alternative method would be to use a remote starter solenoid for a Jeep or a Ford/Mercury mounted on the inner fender well. Then, get the necessary wire to hook up the circuitry. Use a switch rated at least 25 amps......50amps would be even better and an inline fuse holder that has the matching gauge wire leads for splicing into the current supply wire going to the switch. It wold also be a good idea to put a circuit breaker instead of a fuse, in the heavy gauge wire going from the solenoid to the lights. That way, if the lights were to be wrecked by a limb or some other object, that circuit breaker would cut the heavy current to the light structures.

[@SinjinCerasani]

Big big help, thanks so much!

[@jacobmelchior3128]

If you have a switch with only 2 prongs you use the power wire coming from the relay and than you just have to ground it? is that correct? just not 100% sure because the way you showed it you have a 3 wrong switch. thank you.

[@seahawksforever9504]

I got the same exact on off switch as yours from beginning of the video around 1:30. Could we just cut off the on off button switch and add a new switch? I understand we can hook up positive, negative, and the other wire go straight to accessory for auto on when key is in and off when key is off.

[@autodidacticartisan]

I bought some 20amp rated Marine switches that only have two connections. I assume this is because they're strong enough to not need a relay. Is it safe to wire them without a relay? I'm only running two 4inch pod LEDs per switch. Im also planning on each circuit including a 15amp fuse at the battery to fail before the switches. These are quality switches that cost me a pretty penny which is why I'm confident in them and also hesitant to throw them away for some that will accept a relay circut.
