How's everybody doing and thanks for tuning in to Wicked Warnings, your number one source for
construction and emergency safety strobe lighting equipment for cars, vans, buses, bicycles, tricycles
and real nice beautiful 2022 F-150 pickup trucks just like you see here. So if you've got an F-150
and you're looking for a basic, simple, quick, full kit to install a mini light bar like this with
no damage, no holes needed to be drilled except one for the switch if you choose, then this is
the video for you. I even have a wireless switch you can upgrade to if you'd like
so you don't even have to drill a hole for the switch. What are we looking at right now anyways?
It's a 2022 F-150. It's an XL model. Nothing fancy, just a great all-around work truck
and what you see up there on a Drill-Free Mount is a 16 inch Permanent Mount Whelen
Mini Century Light Bar. This is a brute of a light bar, nice and large in size, very
durable. We've been using it many years and had great success with this light bar. For the price
point, it can't be beat. It has many different patterns. This particular kit also includes a
momentary switch so you can cycle through the patterns to find the one that you like that day.
Here's a nice side shot so you can see. This light bar does sit just above the cab. I would say about
three and a quarter to three and a half inches. So you want to make sure you leave yourself a little
bit of room in your garage opening or if you're a frequenter of underground garages, check your
ceiling clearance. However, it does provide a 360 degree warning, as you can see, all the way around
the vehicle you're going to be able to see this beacon which will satisfy many of the Department
of Transportation requirements for a 360 degree beacon visible on the vehicle's highest point. This
is of course the vehicle's highest point as well. Here you can see a view of the back corner here.
Now that mount does sandwich in between the roof and the third brake light. You remove the third
brake light. I got a great in-depth video on how to attach the light bar to the mount and another
one on how to attach the mount to the vehicle. I even have a third in-depth video about how
to fish a wire from here through the headliner and down and forward. Don't fish it on top here
because there's air bags and stuff in there. You want to tuck it behind here and come down and
forward staying away from all of your airbags. Again, no damage, this is completely reversible.
Here's your view from the back. I'm going to wrap this one up kind of quick. I'm going to
show you the switches next. Here's a quick side shot of that bracket and of course,
we put our Wicked Warnings sticker on it there. Support our brand. Customers seem to love that.
Alrighty, speaking on the switch. We just got a nice three-quarter switch here. It's lighted.
We're going to let you pick whatever color you like and as far as our momentary
switch here, you may receive one with a different color, they are assorted. Some are black, some are
red. It just depends on what we grab at the time but you can select the color of this
switch if you'd like. Now that was very easy to wire. We just popped out this headlight switch,
ran our wiring all behind there and we went down here and through the front firewall through the
factory boot using our wire insertion tool. I'm going to link that wire insertion tool. We also
ran the wiring, as I said, down this way and to the back to the light bar, up through the roof.
Just to show a little bit of how we wired it here, you can see our wiring. It comes up here.
We ran it right along the firewall underneath the air box. Here it is here. Goes underneath the air
intake. We ran it right along the back here. Kept it nice and tidy, comes right over here, goes into
our fuse kit and powered right off the battery. Power and ground from the battery right here and
that's our fuse kit. Now I went ahead and I did a little bit of extra wiring here on this particular
project for something we're going to do later but that's not got anything to do with the kit.
So this will be very easy for you guys to wire. So let's talk real quick about what you're going
to get in the kit. Of course you're going to get the light bar. Of course you're going to get the
mount. You're going to get a momentary switch and a three-quarter rocker switch, as I just showed you.
You're also going to get one of those fuse kits for your battery. Comes with all the different
fuses. You really don't need much more than five on a light bar like this and as far as wire, I'm
going to give you first and foremost, a 30 foot piece of 18-5. Now it's going to take it from the
light bar mount under the headliner, down the side forward to your switch. I know 30 is a little long
but some of these trucks are four doors, so you may have a little bit of extra on that wire but that
way, you have more than enough to route it nicely without having to run short. I'm also going to give
you a 25 foot piece of 16-2. The 16-2 is what's going to run from the battery right across the
front of the motor there and through the firewall to your switch. Okay, you'll get some uninsulated
connectors, as well as an assortment of heat shrink. We're going to put some 1/8", some 3/16" and some
1/4" in there to help you waterproof any of your exterior connections and the only thing
that we don't have on this kit currently is your terminals and your split loom, otherwise
everything's listed to the lower right here on the website. You can see exactly what you're getting
and if you need a simple easy light bar kit for your '21 or newer F-150, here it is. Everything
will be in there for a great install. Thanks again for watching Wicked Warnings. Appreciate
