Light bar
Disco_Stu:
I've almost finished mine, been stealing the odd hour here and there to make up a wiring harness for the bar (4 spots), now thats done I've just got to wire my relay in and run the feed and earth up the snorkel, should be done by the weekend time permitting.
If you want any advice or pictures let me know, I'll put em all together in a thread when I get chance but you may need it sooner.
Used so far
1.5 reels of 27a red cable
1 reel of 17a black cable
1 meter of 8a red cable
1 meter of black 8a cable
4 brass bullet conectors
1 twin bullet connector terminal
1 30a fused relay
1 inline fuse
2 35a/10mm ring terminals
Got it all from motorworld or halfrauds. The price difference is staggering between the two shops...
This is just to wire them on with main beam. To wire a switch in also needs a few more bits.
I think I need a couple of 30a female spade terminals to wire the supply to and from the relay, I'm not happy using standard blue 15a ones on a circuit where everything else is rated at 30a plus.
There is a wiring diagram in this thred, it may help:

Good luck, Stu.

Ok wired up all the lights to the bar checked that they work now just need to get the bar on the roof wire in the relay and switch. Jeff
Banjo:
I made a light bar yesterday, waited until it went dark, then found out i have four new interior lights :shocked:. How far back do they need to be, also are some lights worse than others ( for glare ).
TechnoTurkey:
I'm going to spray the middle of my bonnet matt black as it needs a paint anyway, will leave the sides green though so it looks 'normal' from the side!
I'm just finishing wiring my bar up but the way I've done it means I cant get all the wires 'internal' to the bar so they are zip tied to the back in a bit of black ribbed trunking, should look ok but used thicker wires to handle some wattage upgrades in the future.
