How to Wire Off-Road Lights

Here, KC HiLiTES will show you step by step how to install our #6308 wiring harness onto your vehicle so that you can easily wire off-road lights. This wiring harness installation guide applies to Jeeps, Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, UTVs, or anything else that you can put off road lights onto. It's pretty simple to do, but can be awfully frightening for those who aren't used to working on electrical systems.
www.kchilites....
In this video, we used a Jeep Wrangler to demonstrate how to wire off-road lights, and specifically we used our Gravity LED Pro6 lights with amber covers as you see at the end of the video.
For over 50 years, the KC brand has been a symbol of outdoor freedom, adventure, quality, and performance. We take features engineered for off-road racing and design them into unique lighting and adventure products used by those who have a thirst for the paths less traveled. We stand for the outdoor enthusiasts - from off-roaders to hikers to mountain bikers and anyone in-between - because that’s who we are, and we make products to allow us to adventure further.

WOW!!!! THAT IS VERY SIMPLE AND BASIC. I CAN DO THAT!!!!

[@gc6867]

Cant thank you enough. I have a jeep and I been real scared to experiment with putting light on. Thanks for making it easier to understand.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. A TOTALLY AWESOME UPGRADE!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING.

[@robertd4468]

Sorry video, you connected to the battery and never once mentioned colors

[@janis1951]

If you’re going to install driving lights you need to connect them to your bright light circuit using a relay so they only work when the bright lights are on. Guess I’ll keep looking for a diy video that’s more than basic “switch on, lights on. I was hoping KC would have done a better job!

[@marcosandoval1831]

How do you get the wire switches inside the cab?

[@thetrailaheadofus]

I purchased these lights and already have an S-Pod type system in place. I don't need the provided switch, but I can't find anything that shows or explains how to install without provided switch. In this scenario; If the Yellow is Supply, Red is Load, Black is Earth does that mean...Yellow is Positive, Red is Negative and Black is Ground? I wish I knew more about wiring, but hopefully someone can help? Thank you.

[@28Jcarlo]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@thetrailaheadofus]

Ya, I was told to basically tape up or cut the yellow switch wire. For now, I have it taped off, incase I use it in the future. Just ran the power wires. @@28Jcarlo

[@28Jcarlo]

sounds like we only use black and red! thank you for the reply! @@thetrailaheadofus

[@rogercueto]

Can you guys do a video on how to connect 4 lights? Do I need two switches or just two wiring harnesses with obviously two relays going to one switch?

[@christopherroy7748]

I would also like a answer to this. I am installing 4 KC Apollo Pro 6's on the roof of my jeep. Can I use 1 switch? Also, and suggestions on running the cables to the roof?

[@rogercueto]

@@christopherroy7748 you use two harnesses with two relays and run both "turn on" leads from the relays to the switch. You'll have one ground and one source from the battery to the switch which essentially controls both relays.

[@ClimberD-tn3xl]

I REALLLLY need a video showing how to hook up my 20' KC lightbar to my S-Tech switch board. Halllllp

[@freedomchariot-8254]

Installed my dual flex lights with your harness and it was a breeze.

[@BadaBingFilms]

Ok, so where does the white wire with lug go???🤬🤬🤬

[@maverick_jl]

I'd be using my AuxBeam switch, are there instructions on how to connect to a switch? Assuming you just remove the relay from the harness & connect directly to the switch?

[@nickpatoka7096]

Where would you route the wires if you had pillar lights ?

[@ntopacio74]

I just purchased the Slimlite LED. I'm going to be connecting it to an AUXBEAM 8 gang switch panel. Which part of the harness do I connect to the Switch panel? Can I cut the rest?

[@alexz7111]

You should go through Junction box, fuse, relay for the switch and if possible through ECU for indication Instrument panel light.

[@AceGoodheart]

Speak English doc.😊

[@alexz7111]

wut

[@crosisofborg5524]

What gauge wire is needed for 4 daylighters on my roll bar?

[@Omni0369]

Weird question but can I have multiple things on my positive because with have the amp wire there rn

[@USMCFish77]

So you all provide a switch but don’t provide any instructions on the hole size to drill for it. Awesome….

[@alreade8477]

I hooked my lights up and the illuminated switch stayed lit. Any suggestions?

[@4-LOW]

Do the 3" KC cube lights use Deutsche style connectors?

[@AceGoodheart]

No, but they use German. 😉just kidding

[@ashelarry1184]

And the switch install???

[@AceGoodheart]

Exactly. I'm not sure how I'm gonna install my switch. I really didn't want to drill a hole in my jeep's paneling, but i might have to.

[@gutajo01]

Can I connect a set of APOLLO KC Lights to an 8 switch panel System

[@2460speedy]

Should the wires go through the high beam?

[@ryanfischer2889]

I wouldn't want to wire the off road light into the high beam. That way if you just want to use your high beams you can. My lights are on a seperate switch. I have am on a subaru outback

[@stogierogy]

No mention of the relay that comes with the kit?

[@gsabella4]

@@stogierogy This must be a different kit. I just installed 2 KC wiring harnesses into a friend's F350. Both had the relays. I will say this job was not quick nor easy haha. We had to pull out old wiring harnesses too, which were a mess, but damn, this video is like PERFECT case scenario.

[@angelitovalerio4364]

Just a quick question, I have a 2002 Ford Escape, it have the default fog lamp wire harness can I use that to light up my Led Spot Lamp or do I need to use a new wire harness? Thanks

[@marksuperfly8426]

I don need a video showing me to spread out the harness and make connections. I need to to show me where to route the wiring, how to get to the auxiliary switches. Worthless video. Skips the key parts of the install and says presto ! All done, yay us !

[@zakrichardson4196]

I installed the Switch Pro on my dashboard and I want to connect the wire with the switches for the lights to the Switch Pro instead. Would I need to clip off the wires with the switch, strip it and crimp a spade onto the end?

[@ntopacio74]

Did you able to figure out which part of the harness you connected to the switch pros?

[@guyanakenny10]

Where is the relay

[@sideeffects6570]

You never said, which color wire goes to what part of the battery👎

[@br00klyngreek13]

my question is...if you have a spod....why are you wasting your time with all that wiring?

[@shervingholian4814]

This has to be one of the worst instructional videos I’ve ever seen. You need a cameraman to follow you around so we can actually see what you’re doing.

[@kchilites]

Sorry you feel that way! We are slowly redoing all of our install guides and creating a whole wiring series soon! This was 5 years ago when poor Taylor was doing this ALL by himself, we are constantly implementing feedback and trying to improve our install guides often! Thanks for watching and hope you’ll stick around to watch our new videos!

[@darrenbrooks1443]

3:47 long video, and the only real thing they showed was zip-tieing the wires. These kits are fairly simple to install, but you won't know that from this. Look elsewhere for better instructions.

[@extreme6productions507]

You didn't show what colors to the battery,,, 😖

[@monsterpoo]

i was afraid.....until he said there is nothing to be afraid of....and then i wasnt afraid anymore

[@AceGoodheart]

There's nothing to be afraid of. That is until your Jeep catches fire.

[@Jeep.Generation]

Nice job!

[@victorcontreras232]

Can I use my raptor aux controls instead of the one it comes with?

[@andreavolpato9028]

Where does the ground go?

[@rabbibacongrease88]

Do you guys make a harness with 10 gauge wire?

[@davidcooper6618]

Switch wired directly to the battery? lighted switches will stay lit and run battery down without going through an accessory circuit to light the swith on when key is on. Did i miss something?
