[@Gradys_Garage]

There are some people who ride near me that leave their bright lights on (High Beams) when driving. I installed a light bar on the front of my truck (My preference ) and so far, ive only had to turn it on twice to make the other person turn theirs off. (What I do is I flash them once with my High Beams and if they dont turn theirs off, I turn my light bar on and off real quick) (Its not the proper thing to do, but it works)

[@chrisfix]

[@olechuga2]

Sir, for your three (3) videos in the construction of your truck's bedrails, headache rack and mounting system for your light-bar, paint job and electrical setup ... a most excellent set of informative videos. You did your major projects so simply constructed, explained so well as you were constructing them, overall paint job and electrical setup, that you made me feel I was there helping you all the way. You Sir, made it look so simple to construct this time-consuming project, yet produced such an "elegant" home-made job. Your construct ended rivaling a professional job, and yet you made it happen "your" way all-around. Your truck's lights, plus the light-bar's, makes for sone scary sunlight. You are no doubt scaring the bejesus out of all those crazy furry friends, wondering just what has happened to their world at night, and reaching for their "Kaopectate". I congratulate you Sir, for a job simply very well made, and thank you for your hard work, as published.

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

Hey Chris, when you wired the additional 3 switches, are you going to jump them into the same fuse box slot 17, or does each switch need it's own fuse slot?

[@JoshRJameson]

Also do they get their own relay

[@ubreakitirepairit3569]

It's better to use a different slot. The slot he is using provides 12V even when the vehicle is off, but you may want to use a different slot for something that doesn't need 12V when the vehicle is off or even more, requires a fuse of a different rating.

[@ItsIdaho]

Officer: *"I wonder what's this red button do?"* *Dumb ways to die...*

[@Vboystatus]

best straightforward wiring video on youtube for a 12v light and switch system thank you!

[@tom69rust]

13:32, 8 wires are actually enough for 7 switches, since you only need one 12v wire from the fuse box

[@dgtlionbarger]

So multiple switches can come from the one fused power?

[@thadb9684]

dgtlionbarger yes because the wire coming out is the only thing needed to differentiate the switches

[@daltoncox3957]

Im pretty sure he put 8 wires for 4 switches to make the switches light up

[@alfredoheredia1888]

Only if he uses relays in all of the new lights

[@harryl7946]

Use star washers under your ground points. Better grounds. And match the fuse rating for what draws the energy. Get that fuse box fuse down to a 2 amp since the relay only draws millie amps.

[@planethedgehog2427]

Incorrect. Although the relay draws very little power, the fuse is for the power feed from the battery, through the relay and to the light bar.

[@Owenpmorgan]

Great vid as always and love the whole channel! Just thought I'd mention something as I'm an electrician and the switch wiring made me go 'what?' for a sec. If the 12v feed from the fusebox was in the centre pin of a standard (no LED) switch, it would ground the battery in one of the two switch positions, blowing the fuse. In a bog standard toggle switch pins 1 and 2 are connected in one position, pins 2 and 3 are connected in the other. So if you used such a switch with the connections suggested here it would not work and would be very dodgy, especially if plugged in without a fuse. I did a quick google and see the correct pinout of the LED switches usually used in automotive is as in the video, the internal circuitry is wired for that connection scheme. But just in case someone thought that 'this is how all switches with 3 pins are wired' and tried to use another sort of switch I thought I'd point out that the standard config of a toggle switch would lead to blown fuses (hopefully at best). General rule, just double check the pinouts and make sure you know what goes where and don't connect the battery to ground ;) No fault with the vid, just thought I'd add in that extra info!

Where can I buy the olastic tube?

[@InterstellarFrequency]

Even though I’ve almost watched your videos, I’m back watching a older video to remind myself how to do something again. Way cool thanks for the content.

lol when i put light bars in my grille we just grounded it and took the other wire into the cab and it plugs into the cigarette lighter, simple but it works out great, especially because i hate wiring and electronics

[@alldayedcers9454]

So you just wired it to the cigarette lighter wiring or you used a plug?

[@benjaminmasters5375]

Plug, i insert a plug into the cigarette lighter which is attached right to the light bars via a long wire

[@alldayedcers9454]

Cool, and it works like a charm?

[@benjaminmasters5375]

All Day EDCers works out nicely, for a person who doesnt understand wiring and electronics well its perfect, no worrys about fuses and other stuff, just the positive wire plugging in works great

[@ZombieCakeHD]

Benjamin Masters so you just wire the positive to a plug that goes into the cigarette lighter, then grounded the light bar to your frame?

26:50 Look like a scene from the walking dead series 😅

[@brianleabo6295]

When I took class to get my electrical degree in after HVAC. The most repeated thing would be able to draw a wiring diagram and understand. Good job you doing it more than most people

+Brennan Callan you seem very interested in Chris

[@nycfcistrash2097]

+Brennan Callan you spend too much time writing your replies

[@cupofdiarrhea]

+Brennan Callan As someone who holds 27 college degrees and 3 WWE titles, it's cute to see someone throwing out their degree count in a KZbin conversation. If getting a degree teaches you nothing else, it's that being clear and concise in your communications with others is of paramount importance, as knowing how to communicate lets you translate that giant warehouse of knowledge into something you can relate to others (hopefully without coming across as condescending!). Being needlessly wordy or skilled in nitpicking the works of others is not the same thing as being intelligent.

I'm a little late to the party here, but take a shot every time +Brennan Callan uses quotations...

[@FireCrowsWorkshop]

It's not a light bar... It's a collapsed sun!

[@chrisfix]

Fire Crow's Workshop Hahaha, I have actually found a way to harness the energy from the sun and created a light bar!

[@arblineltd]

brilliant video mate, just ordered 4 for my works vans and this has simplified a massive task for myself, thanks a million brother.

[@aurelius6156]

Don’t be upsetti Have some spaghetti XD

[@josepherwin8709]

I’ve learned more about automotive maintenance and repair from your videos than I did in my shop classes in school.

[@BigBoyMemer]

By far the easiest to follow light bar installation tutorial out there. ILY chris fix.

[@sithompson74]

Bit of extra effort could have seen all the wires from the light bar in the metal framework. That's what I was expecting form such a guy as talented as Chris. But that small thing aside, what an absolutely amazing project. Bravo that man
