difficulty installing a light bar
How hard is it to install a light bar without the wiring harness that came with it? Is it basically 2 wires with an on and off switch?
I found a used one for sale but it doesnt come with the harness.
Thanks!

Re: difficulty installing a light bar
Hi
I bought one just like it, it's really no problem.
One mine there where 3 wires 2 positive and one ground.
One positive for the 2 inner lights on the light bar, and another for the 2 outer lights.
I just wired these 2 positive together with a single one using a bigger gauge (hope this is spelled right).
And then I put a reley on it with a on/off switch.
The biggest problem was to get the big gauge positive all the way out to the battery.
Best regards
Rene

Re: difficulty installing a light bar
If you have the factory harness, it's plug and play.
All you have to do is drill a hole for the switch in the overhead console.
The part number for the kit (including the lights) is 89006865.
I bet some savy parts man could come up with the component part numbers.

Thanks, so the wiring isnt too complicated
How do you connect the wiring, you dont drill a hole in the roof?

If you get the factory harness, the wiring is already through the gromet, like Vettester said, plug & play.

Re: difficulty installing a light bar
Called 3 dealers today, no one carried it. Talked to a few members here and they said it wasnt worth the trouble.
Decided to go with a custom one or possibly the Delta.

Re: difficulty installing a light bar
Check this out - it may help - http://www.axxense.com/Lightbar/H2_L...ructions_2.pdf
The lights pull a lot of current - usually way too much for a dash or overhead console mounted switch - this is why you want relays. The switch trips the relay, which, in turn, turns on the lights, thus handling the high current draw.
