So here are the LED lights themselves.
Got the cable and the two little mounting screws down at the bottom.
So the wiring harness comes with these little adapters right here that help plug in the
lights to the harness itself, sticking it in the circle end of the plug, clamping it
down with pliers.
And that will make it easier to plug into the harness when it’s underneath the car.
I’m going to push this bolt through the bottom of it so when you flip over the light
fixture it’s just going to wrap up underneath like this and that bolt is going to sit inside
of there and it’s not going to turn when you put the nut on the bottom of it because
the edges of that groove are going to hold it steady.
And then you can take the two nuts in there, line those up with these two grooves in the
side of this bracket.
Then you can position it and angle the light however you want.
Alright, looking at the wiring harness can be a little bit intimidating at first.
You can see that we have the main relay right here with these two connections and it just
kind of v’s off in two separate legs.
It’s actually pretty simple so I’m going to explain what’s going on.
So this is the main part of the wiring harness.
You have a fuse in there that kind of regulates how much electricity gets to the light.
And then these two connections right here, the black and the red, they are what’s going
to go to your battery terminals.
Black goes on the negative, red goes on the positive.
And we’ll work with the black leg first; it just goes to the lights themselves.
You have these two black and white cables; they are going to go to one of the lights.
And that’s going to go to the other LED light on the other side of the bumper.
So this particular wiring harness has two legs and you’re installing two lights.
Now the other leg that comes away from the relay is this white leg, and it’s for the
switch.
So what happens here is the switch itself, obviously you click in on and click it off.
The black wire is going to go to a ground.
So basically any screw that’s attached to the frame, just stick it in there and screw
it onto the frame.
And then the red one needs to go to the battery itself.
Without a good ground and without that being on the battery, the switch isn’t going to
work and the whole wiring harness isn’t going to work.
So keep that in mind.
Everything for this project you’ll be able to find in the video description below: this
wiring harness, the lights, everything.
So check out the video description below for the parts.
What’s sweet about these connections that I just installed is that these clear rubber
parts go inside the blue plastic and it’s pretty much a water tight connection already.
I’m probably going to put electrical tape around it anyway just to be double sure, but
they fit pretty snugly.
Black to black; white to red.
So I’ve dry wired everything together and it looks like everything’s working.
Now that I know everything works I’m going to go ahead and mount it to the car itself…and
organize the wires.
I’m going to stick the LED light right here in this little hole.
It’ll fit perfect right in there.
I’m going to bolt it right down through the plastic here.
There’s a little metal bar right behind it.
That will also give it a little more stability.
This bumper’s pretty solid so I bet if I went straight through the plastic as well
it would be just fine.
So the bolt that goes down through the lamp into the bumper has a 13 millimeter bolt.
I’m also going to take a locking washer and a metal plate and stick it on the bottom
as well to give it more stability inside of the bumper.
It’s down inside of there though, so I’m not…I don’t have a good camera angle so
I’m going to skip that part in the video.
Then it has the two screws in the back holding it to this metal plate and that will allow
it to adjust up and down.
Somehow you have to get this inside the cab of your car.
So you can turn the lights on and off on the inside.
Now every car’s a little bit different, but this particular car has the little hole
right there inside of the firewall where some other wires are going through.
So I’m just going to have to maneuver my way through this plastic sheath and get my
controller inside of the car.
If you get super desperate and you can’t find a little hole through the firewall, you
can always drill one, but that is a little bit dangerous as well.
So the plastic connector was a little too big, so what I ended up doing was feeding
the black and the red wires through, cutting the white wire, and splicing it back together
again once I fed it through the backside.
So that little white plastic connector is on the other side of the firewall.
So I have it all wired up now.
I’ll explain it really quick.
So you got the…from the switch you got the wires coming through the firewall.
This is that ground I was talking about earlier.
There’s just a screw on the frame that was already grounded to something else, so I just
put the ground in with that.
If you’re lights are dim or they’re not functioning correctly it might be because
the ground is not good enough.
So make sure there’s a clean ground anywhere on the metal frame of your car.
You might need to scrape away some of the black paint to make it a better connection.
Then with the battery, I have the two red cables that go to the battery.
The one black cable that goes from a negative to the relay.
And then I found a pre-drilled hole in the frame that I just had an extra bolt and just
stuck the relay and screwed it in.
And then you have the other two lines coming down here.
One goes to that light and the other one comes to this light right here which I’m going
to install right now.
Now I just need to organize the wires, make sure they are not ever going to touch anything
hot inside the car.
And we’re good to go.
There she is installed.
I’ll do some night shots so you can see what kind of distance the lights throw.
The camera isn’t doing justice to the LEDs but you can see they go straight forward and
up into the trees as well so it gives you more of a…kind of like a bright effect.
And then here are the brights on with the car as well.
So between the LEDs and the brights, the LEDs definitely go farther, but the camera’s
not showing the depth perception.
And that is it.
