way easier way to run the wire through the firewall there is a little rubber gasket that goes through and you can push through there instead of going outside the door area

[@guywesley2475]

Tim thats what i did it was much easier

[@SWMP1523]

Tim The thing that's difficult on that is for my truck it's really hard to get to from under the hood so I did the same thing he did

[@juniorgillenwater968]

not if you drive a 2015 chevy 2500 its a bitch firewall

Or at least put it inside the door rubber seal.

This was SUPER helpful brother. 11pm at night over here getting it all installed thanks to you man! Amazing tutorial! Thank you for sharing with all of us! 🙏😎💯

I’d go through the firewall. Less chance of crimping or breaks. It looks cleaner too.

[@zeke6662]

Thank you for video. Really helped me figure out what needed to be done. Im running it to a roof rack though so bit different running of the wires

[@richardplastino792]

Thanks for showing me how to install this exact light which I just bought. I'm night blind and going through the Eisenhower/Johnson tunnels on I-70, which are 1.7 miles long each way, is absolutely terrifying. Since traffic is one way in each tunnel, this will get me through the tunnels safely without killing me or my fellow drivers. There are lights in the tunnel, but they are so filthy and weak, they might as well not be there for me being night blind. I was surprised at the number of comments from those who try to make themselves feel good by making others feel bad by complaining about running the switch wire through the door seal rather than through the firewall. This light is not a fixture on the space shuttle and I sure am not going to drill a hole through the firewall of my car. I'll do it just like you did it. It will work fine and you know the saying, "Perfection is the enemy of good enough". Thanks again!

[@jessicaetrifonov369]

So glad I found this video. I'm about to add a light bar and grill guard on my van. I was wary about bolting to my vehicle. This is a great idea mounting it on the grill guard.

Man, I want to start by thanking you for sharing this video. I have bought an E350 4x4 Van with a long 50inch light bar on the top. I recently bought the same wiring harness as the one you used and was having seconds thoughts if I could wire the light bar on my own or not. This video convinced me and helped me do it on my own.

[@carloslemus2284]

Thanks for making it so simply an installation. I found a rubber cover on the left hand side where one of the A/C hose goes trough and stuck it in there so that the rubber on the door doesn't get worn out and also to keep the water from going inside when is raining hard.

[@TruckMaster]

+Carlos Lemus thanks for the comment I wish I could go back and fix the video but since then I ran the wires through the rubber grommet on the driver side firewall

[@stephenjones4310]

Great video! Did the Nilight light bar hold up well? I've used cheaper light bars before and got maybe a year out of them.

[@LORDRA1DEN]

Thanks. Good video. I think the only thing I'm going to do before I do this is use RTV on the light bar. I saw another video with how to take these apart and do that, just in case. Mine, same brand, came with a plug that doesn't mount like yours in the video does. It's the round kind. But I just checked and the other plug seems to attach to the wire, so I might swap them.

Question I know when you order the lightbar they sent you the lightbar and also a couple of coupons but also there is one paper in there that says if you make a video and send it to them you get a special gift just wondering what is the special gift

I ran mine to a switch under my hood and connected my power and ground to my fog lamps so when I turn on my fog lamps from inside the truck it will also turn on my light bar and if I don't want it to I just throw the switch under the hood and I can continue to use my fog lights without the light bar

When you order the light, did the second box come with it? Or was that a different order?

At least in 2023, if you order the lighting unit and the harness as a package, they come in one box. And you definitely need the harness unless you're a master electrician specializing in vehicles.
