[@UrbanVanlife]

[@babblingbrooksoutdoors]

Spot on job mate 👌 the vans coming along nicely also....where did you get those cable seals from ...eBay and Amazon are well expensive 😭

[@UrbanVanlife]

i got mine from amazon mate the links in the description , there about £13 each but i think its worth the cost

[@babblingbrooksoutdoors]

@@UrbanVanlife nice one mate, I guess you can't put a price on your van not leaking !

[@DrummingWebby123]

Entirely possible I’m being thick but there’s no footage of you mounting the top front bar is there? I’m looking at installing a light bar to the front of my Crafter but not sure if I want to just bolt straight onto the roof or not lol!

[@UrbanVanlife]

You may want to check this video out bud . It shows how we fitted the new bar . kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ6mmHdtm6h0gtk

[@DutyRon]

Super clean installation looks fantastic 👌🏻

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thank you sir . I do like tidy

[@rosiejohnson1756]

Hey. What did you use to step up your bottom ones? Ours just arrived, trying to get some sort of idea as to how to fit them!! thanks

[@UrbanVanlife]

We used Bicycle Handel bar spacers . But after fitting new lights we scrapped that idea and used the brackets that came with the lights

[@rosiejohnson1756]

@@UrbanVanlife so really what I should have done is not be so keen and waited until your auxbeam video and bought them instead!! FFS haha

[@UrbanVanlife]

To be honest the bottom ones are a Very similar strength it’s only the top one that has a greater power but We had no issues with the ones that we had on I would recommend them to anybody we only fit of the aux beam ones because they sent us them for free so it was an easy upgrade but the ones we had on did a perfect jobb

[@Me-lf5oj]

Good job you deserve 👍

[@UrbanVanlife]

Many many thanks for watching

[@VictorVictor-hq7ui]

When I saw night vision on your screen, I thought you meant real night vision, not led light bars. 😂

[@kenmackenzie7338]

Hi mate, just looking at fitting these. What was the cable size you used for the top and bottom light bar and the two work lights at the back? The van looks like the dogs bollocks by the way.

[@UrbanVanlife]

to be honest mate i used heavy duty 240 that they use for floodlights on buildings , its multy core and trebble insulated , plus my mate had thousands of meters off a job he was doing which was over , so he gave is a load to do the 240 in the van , its massiv over kill for the lights but i guess safe AND FREE which is and was a bonus

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Yes! I need lots of lights. I see nothing at night lol. Oh and she is not mean! Lol

[@stenicholls]

Brilliant it’s come so far good effort mate

[@UrbanVanlife]

It is getting there mate we just finishing off fiddly bits before the next big push . Then things should start to take shape and it look like a camper van

[@stenicholls]

Urban Explorer can’t wait to see it bro

[@dantheman9395]

Love them! Awesomeness

[@UrbanVanlife]

thnaks buddy hope your well , its nice being able to blind people now

[@dantheman9395]

@@UrbanVanlife alive and well. Hope y'all are well? 👍😎✌️

[@BruceLauderdale]

Cheese and Rice! Not sure you have enough lights mate, NASA has sent me a comparison of last week’s satellite image at night to this week after the install...

[@UrbanVanlife]

im thinking we need more , but emma is like NOP thats enough , but what is zombies come i mean it could happen and i want to be ready for it , and would one more hurt , i mean just 1 more 42 inch one on the roof lol

[@BruceLauderdale]

Urban Explorer Emma is right...

[@BruceLauderdale]

She’s always right... I’ve seen how you are… she's always right!

[@paulbignell6977]

do you have a canbus system and how did you connect to it

[@UrbanVanlife]

The led bars are wired in separately to the vehicles lighting system and doesn’t effect the canbus system

[@roymiddleton5760]

Can't believe he loused the beard 🥰

[@UrbanVanlife]

mate it had to go i was looking homeless , some people can grow even and amazing face hait , saddly im not one of them , and drinking tea was a nightmare it got all over me lol

[@jojebia1648]

so why did you fit them?

[@UrbanVanlife]

So we could see better of a day time

[@pw9062]

Think you need a relay for those tbh

[@UrbanVanlife]

The switches are relayed

[@pw9062]

Oh right relayed switches ............

[@markmangan8586]

😊👍

[@UrbanVanlife]

cheers dude

[@Wizardof]

Begun. The LIGHT WARS have....

[@UrbanVanlife]

Can never have too many lights 😂😂

[@Wizardof]

@@UrbanVanlife MY TRUCK HAS FOUR. LIGHTS.

[@dozukime]

Dont you need a relay?

[@BruceLauderdale]

dozukime or a few!

[@UrbanVanlife]

no not at all the switches i have gone for are rated for 50amp , a relay only supply the power to the light from a cheap switch , this is the reason we have relays so car makers can make cheap crappy switches , plus im not going from the main fuse box in the van as well they are linked to a independent system which has a breaker in it to protect the whole circulate

[@UrbanVanlife]

only when your use in cheap swiches , if your wsich rating is higher than the load you dont need a relay , i mean it actualy dosnt protect any thing, there just there cos people make cheap swiches , to save money

[@theurbanlegenduk1760]

@@UrbanVanlife I was going to ask what rating the the switches are but you answered that question and your answer is quite right 💯💖👍

hahahha shes mean ans bullys me , all the time im a victim hahahhaahhahaha , and i think you guys need lights all the lights as many as you can get
