I mounted my 17" bar using the winch mount holes, they are spaced at 10". If your lightbar is the sliding bottom post type, it will work. As long as you use a good carling switch and appropriate size wire, a 20" lightbar does not need a relay. Never hurts to have one though.
Nice Jeep! Thanks for the info. I do have the adjustable light bar, but the included hardware is junk. Do you think the switch will cause any issues? I was going to install it on the A-pillar. I really like the look of it. Thanks.
Why are you buying that switch when the wiring harness you're buying comes with a switch. Also, just don't connect the ground (black) wire to the switch and it won't light up. Much less annoying.
I'm about to install my 20" LED and I purchased the same wiring harness. My question is when they ask to wire the red wire to a switch wire which wire did you tap into?
There is an inline fuse from the relay to the battery included on the wire harness. I did not install one from the switch to the battery. This was my first install like this.
Mine had a fuse from the relay as well but one of the guys here on the forum that has helped me with my subwoofer mod install told me to put an inline fuse from the switch since it didn't come in one.
Just found this write up on The other site. You are correct. There should be a fuse from the switch to the battery. I will be working on that tomorrow. As I said before, this is the first time I have done this so I am still learning.:whistling: Here is the write up.
Do what I did and save yourself some time and money buying individual relays and go with the bussman relay/fuse panel. I'm guessing you are going to be adding more stuff on and having one already installed makes it easy to hook stuff up in the future. First jeep and I'm currently in the process of putting on reverse lights, 2 sets of cube lights, a 20 inch light bar and a 50. The relay fuse panel does a good job of cleaning stuff up and keeping it sealed. If you don't plan on adding anything else then I would still install a single relay with a fuse. The wiring harness you have should have both.
I know this is an old thread, but does the Plasmaglow's light bother you while driving?
