It is important to test the light first if they work before proceeding with the installation.</p> <h3>The Required Equipment and Tools</h3> <p>Before you start the installation process, you will need the following equipment and tools:</p> <ul> <li>Dual color light bar</li> <li>Mounting brackets</li> <li>Wiring harness</li> <li>Screwdriver</li> <li>Drill and drill bits</li> <li>Zip ties</li> <li>Marker</li> <li>Wrench</li> </ul> <h2>Dual Color Lightbar Step-by-Step Installation Process</h2> <h3 id="inspect-your-package">Step 1: Inspect your package</h3> <p>First, inspect your package for any damage from shipping.&nbsp; Some important things to look for include dents/dings, broken connector pieces, or hardware that has come loose during shipping.&nbsp; If everything is in order, connect the lightbar to your battery (red to positive, black to negative) and test the lightbar.&nbsp; This will give you an understanding of how everything works and a chance to see your lightbar in action before getting into the installation details.&nbsp; After testing your lightbar, make sure you disconnect it from your battery prior to installation or you might ground it out.&nbsp;</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-Amber-and-White-Light-bars-step1.jpg" alt="Extreme LED shipping and packaging" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="choose-install-location">Step 2: Choose The Location For Your Amber and White Light Bar</h3> <p>Identify your mounting point and procedure.&nbsp; Our lightbars come with universal brackets that can be used for mounting your lightbar in popular mounting points such as your roof, grille, or bumpers.&nbsp; Typically, the universal brackets will require drilling holes to mount the bracket to your vehicle.&nbsp; If you prefer not to drill any holes for your installation, there are many custom fit bumpers, roof racks, and brackets in the market for your specific vehicle type.&nbsp; We also have <a href="/led-light-bar-mounts">a lot of mounting options to choose from</a>.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-amber-white-lights-step2.webp" alt="Lightbar installation locations on a 4runner" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="mounting-bracket-install">Step 3: Install The Mounting Brackets</h3> <p>Once you have decided on the location for your LED light bar and identified where the amber and white light bars will be positioned, the next step is to attach the mounting bracket. If the selected location does not already have pre-existing holes, place the light bar in the chosen area and mark the drilling points accurately. Use a drill and suitable drill bits to create the required mounting holes. Finally, secure the brackets in place using the provided mounting hardware that comes with the light bar.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-amber-white-lights-step3.webp" alt="LED lightbar mounting brackets" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="install-wiring-harness">Step 4: Install The Wiring Harness</h3> <p>See the diagram below of our wiring harness to get a better understanding of the basic components to install the wiring harness..&nbsp; At the center of the wire harness, you will find two relays that control the switching for the amber and white lights (one relay for each color).&nbsp; There are 3 ends to the wire harness</p> <ol> <li>The switch end has a 4 pin quick-disconnect that allows you to add a wireless remote (if you have a wireless remote, it plugs in between the switches and the relay)</li> <li>The lightbar end has a 3 pin connector.&nbsp; The 3 pins provide power to the two different color lights and a negative back to the battery (black).&nbsp; ** NOTE: If you are using a different switching/power mechanism than our harness, you can cut the wires on this end (instead of cutting the wires on the light).</li> <li>The battery end has red (+) and black (-) ring terminals to connect to the battery.&nbsp; The red terminal has a waterproof fuse holder to protect the lightbar.</li> </ol> <p>Before installing the electrical, make sure your harness is not connected to the battery.&nbsp;</p> <ol> <li>Start by running the switch end through your firewall into the inside of your vehicle.&nbsp; In many cases, you can find a rubber gasket to put these through or you may need to drill a hole.&nbsp; You can disconnect and then reconnect the switches using the quick disconnect to reduce the size of the hole required.</li> <li>Run the lightbar connector at the install point of the vehicle and connect the lightbar to the harness.&nbsp; The rubber gasket on the end of the 3 prong connector forms a waterproof fit.&nbsp;</li> <li>Connect the harness to the negative battery post and then the positive battery post.&nbsp; If you have a <a href="/relay-holder">relay holder</a>, install it by using factory holes or drilling spots for the rivets.&nbsp; Zip ties or electrical tape can be used to tidy up any dangling wires to prevent damage and make your installation look better.&nbsp;</li> </ol> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-amber-white-lights-step4.webp" alt="amber and white install details" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="connect-switches">Step 5: Connect The Rocker Switches or switch</h3> <p>If you have a set of rocker switches or a <a href="/dual-push-laser-engraved-rocker-switch-x6-x6s-with-wiring"> dual push rocker switch for dual color bars</a>, then connect the switch to replace the factory-installed switch. Mount it in a location that is easy to reach. This will allow you to turn the amber or white lights on and off as needed. The <a href="/dual-push-laser-engraved-rocker-switch-x6-x6s-with-wiring">dual push switch</a> is great if you only want to fill up one slot or if you don't want to install the rocker switches yourself.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-amber-white-lights-step5.webp" alt="LED rocker switch options" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="test-your-lightbar">Step 6: Test both Amber and white lights on your led light bar</h3> <p>To complete the process of dual-color insulation, it is important to verify if your light bar is working. This step will confirm the correct installation of laser-engraved rocker switches and establish a reliable connection with the battery. To do this, switch the rocker switches to the "on" position.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-amber-white-lights-step6.webp" alt="LED lightbars for jeeps " width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3>Tips for Proper Installation</h3> <ul> <li>Choose the right location for your amber and white light bar based on your needs and the intended use of the lights.</li> <li>Make sure to install the mounting brackets securely to prevent the dual color light bar from coming loose or falling off.</li> <li>Check the wiring and connections regularly to ensure that everything is working properly and there are no loose or damaged wires.</li> </ul> <h2>Why Choose Extreme LED Light Bars?</h2> <p>Extreme LED Light Bars are the best in class when it comes to value for money and quality of LED light bars.

Installing RGB whip lights on your vehicle is a relatively simple process that can be done with the right tools and equipment. In this blog post, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to install whip lights for your vehicle. Let’s get started!<img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/bp-extreme-how-to-install-whip-lights.jpg" alt="RGB whip lights on a jeep" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h2>How to Install RGB Whip Lights On Your Vehicle</h2> <p>Before we begin with the step-by-step process, let’s discuss the tools and equipment required. It is important to test each light setting first if they work before proceeding with the installation. Also, it is important to look for other damaged or missing items.</p> <h3>The Required Equipment and Tools</h3> <p>Before you start the installation process, you will need the following equipment and tools:</p> <ul> <li>Two or one LED whip lights</li> <li>Mounting brackets</li> <li>Wiring harness</li> <li>Flathead screwdriver</li> <li>Drill and drill bits</li> <li>Zip ties</li> <li>Marker</li> <li>Wrench</li> <li>Wire cutters</li> <li>Shrink wrap with solder</li> <li>Lighter</li> </ul> <h2>The Step-by-Step Installation Process</h2> <p>To install LED whip lights, you will need to follow these steps:</p> <h3 id="inspect-your-package">Step 1: Do pre-checks of your LED whip light package</h3> <p>Before proceeding with the installation, it is important to inspect the package upon receive to see if any damage occurred during shipping. You may refer to this <a href="/how-to-test-led-lights-with-battery">step-by-step guide to check your LED lights upon receiving them</a>. It is important to inspect the whip lights box for any damage such as cut wires, scratches on the base, or other broken pieces that could come from the harness or other items in the box. Once you have confirmed that the items are in good condition, next is to test your whip lights and harness to make sure they are working properly. To do this, connect whip lights and harness and test each wire individually for brake lights, turn signals, and hazards. This can be done by touching the black wire to the negative post on the battery and the red wire to the positive battery post. Then touch each wire to the positive post, and the led whip lights should light up to their corresponding function. <img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-whip-lights-step1.jpg" alt="Led whip lights for utvs and jeeps" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="choose-location-for-whip-lights">Step 2: Choose The Location For Your LED Whip Lights</h3> <p>Choosing a location for your led whip lights is very important and should be done correctly. There are a few important considerations to keep in mind when choosing the location for your whip lights. First, ensure the lights are mounted securely to a strong and sturdy spot on your vehicle. These are mounted by the bottom and when driving it might add quite a bit of torque from the whip lights bending from the wind. So plastic or other weak materials may not provide a secure attachment. Another key point to determining the mounting location is the desired length you want. If the best spot is low on the bumper you might want a longer set to be seen better or if it's higher up maybe on the fender or roof you would want a smaller set. The last key factor in picking the location where the whip lights will go is if you can get to the other side you will be drilling through. The mounts use a nut and bolt to mount to the car and you will need access to the other side to tighten down the bracket.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-whip-lights-step2.jpg" alt="led whip lights install " width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="install-mounting-brackets">Step 3: Install The Mounting Brackets</h3> <p>Installing the mounting brackets for the RGB led whip lights is a simple and universal setup. First, as we said above you will benefit from mounting to a metal base or area that you can have access to the other side. Once you have picked the area, measure out where you are putting it so each whip light is even with the other. Drill out each spot with a drill step bit. A unique and helpful function of our whip lights is that they have a quick disconnect with the mount and connectors so when installing you just have to mount the base of the whip light first by sliding the bolt part into the drilled-out hole and securing it down with the lock washer and nut. Once that is secure you can add the whip lights to the base by using the quick disconnect and adding the safety pin in. <img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-whip-lights-step3.jpg" alt="mounting brackets for led whip lights" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="run-whip-light-harness-wires">Step 4: Running the wiring for the harness</h3> <p>After installing the whip lights base, find the closest point of entry into the vehicle for Jeeps or ATVs this will be a bit easier with there being more access to the tail lights or inside the cab. The harness has an RGB relay box that can be mounted to any place we recommend doing this after attaching all the wires. It also has two connectors that will need to be run to each whip light. It does matter on what side these get run to, one is for the left and one is for the right side. Once these have been brought to each whip light, pull back the wire and zip tie to give you the most wire to work with when installing the wires for the vehicle's functions and power. You then will need to find the best path to run the power wires to the tail lights that can be on the outside or inside of the car.<img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-whip-lights-step4.jpg" alt="installing a wiring harness for led whip lights" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="install-wires for-tail-lights">Step 5: Installing wires for brakes, turn signals, and reverse lights</h3> <p>These can be installed in any order but we recommend this order because it allows you to use the length where it needs to be used, (Green, Yellow, White, Orange, Black, Red). We also recommend using heat shrink with solder or a crimp on the inside, this will make the installation go a lot smoother. The first step is, You will need to find what wires control what function inside your rear tail light. To do this you can see what color runs to what light. If you are not sure what each light does you can test this by simply turning on your car and having someone turn on your turn signals, breaks, or reverse lights. Once that's found, turn the car off because you will be cutting and splicing wires together. You will need to connect each wire to its designated spot. To slice a wire together you will need to make sure to give yourself as much wire to work with on both sides. So do not cut close to a connector or the end of a wire. Choose the spot that seems to be in the middle. Once the wire is cut, use either a razor or wire cutters to expose the bare wire on each side only cut off about 1-2 cm. You then will want to twist one side together with the whip light wire. Then slide the twisted wires into one side of the heat shrink and the other bear wire into the other side. Then use a lighter to shrink the heat shrink and secure the wires together. You will use this same technique for all the colors. The colors you want to install first are, green which will go to the left turn signal, and yellow will go to the right turn signal. Then, determine the closest spot to attach the white wire to the reverse lights, and then the orange wire will go to your brakes. It does not matter what side of the car these two wires are installed on. So choose the closest spot to splice each of these wires in.<img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-whip-lights-step5.jpg" alt="wiring led whip light to your tail lights" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="install-power-wires">Step 6: Installing the wires for power and negative</h3> <p>To connect the positive Red wire to the ACC power, you will need to find the closest ACC power source. The spot this will be in will depend on the car it's being installed onto. To easily splice these together we recommend using the same heat shrink with solder or a crimp on the inside. To help keep these wires properly secured. For the negative, some cars have a negative post throughout the car. They will be a bolt that has a negative line bolted to the frame of the car. You can connect the negative black wire to one of these this will allow you to not have to solder or use heat shrink just wrap the wire around the bolt and tighten it down.<img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-whip-lights-step6.jpg" alt="battery connections for RGB LED whip lights" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h3 id="test-your-led-whip-lights">Step 7: Testing the whip lights</h3> <p>Lastly, test all functions of the light before replacing any parts back to your vehicle in case the wiring solder is not good. To do this, test all functions so turn on your car and try both turn signals, reverse lights, and then the brakes. Lastly, test the wireless remote as well. Then once it is working properly you can reassemble your vehicle if necessary and your LED whip lights are installed correctly.</p> <p dir="ltr"><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-how-to-install-whip-lights-step7.jpg" alt="RGB whip light functions and colors" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h2>Tips for Proper Installation</h2> <p>Here are some tips to ensure that the installation of your whip lights is proper and effective:</p> <ul> <li>Choose the right location and size for your whip lights based on your needs and the layout of your vehicle.</li> <li>Make sure to install the mounting brackets securely to prevent the whip lights from coming loose or breaking off.</li> <li>Check the wiring and connections regularly to ensure that everything is working properly and there are no loose or damaged wires.</li> </ul> <h2>Why Choose Extreme LED Lights?</h2> <p>Extreme LED lights are the best in class when it comes to value for money and quality of LED lights.

So once the LED light bar is in your hands, it's time to put it to the test to ensure its functionality. In this article, we will explore the step-by-step process of installing your new LED light bar harness and guide you through the essential procedures. It is important to test the harness first before proceeding with the installation. See this blog for a more in-depth process on <a href="/how-to-test-led-lights-with-battery">how to test your led light bar package</a>. Before we begin with the step-by-step process, let’s discuss the tools and equipment required to install a LED wiring harness.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/led-light-bar-wiring-harness.webp" alt="Wiring Harness for LED Light Bars" width="700" height="375" /></p> <h2>LED Light Bar Wiring Harness Installation</h2> <p>Before you start the installation process, you will need the following equipment and tools:</p> <h3>The Required Tools</h3> <ul> <li>Large Flathead Screw Driver</li> <li>Socket Wrench (size varies)</li> <li>Razor</li> <li>Zip Ties</li> </ul> <h2>Step-by-Step Installation Process</h2> <p>To install the wiring harness, you will need to follow these steps:</p> <h3 id="unpack-wiring-harness">Step 1: Unpack the Wiring Harness</h3> <p>Unravel and find each part of the harness; you will have a red and black wire with ring terminals, these are the battery connections. Depending on the harness, you will have 1, 2, or 4 female connectors all coming from the relay which is a black box with a metal tap connected to it. Then once you have found all these there will be one lead left over and that will be the switch/switches which is usually a red circle or a rocker switch.</p> <h3 id="disconnect-switch-from-harness">Step 2: Disconnect the switch from the harness</h3> <p>The next thing you want to do is run the switch to where you need it inside the car. The most common places are found on the dash near the steering wheel or it will be near or on the center console. Some off-roading vehicles will have some uncut-out spaces for <a href="/led-rocker-switches">rocker switches</a>. Once you have established where to bring your switch, you will take the end of the harness and detach the switch from the rest of the harness by disconnecting the white connector. So it is smaller to fit through a smaller space.</p> <h3 id="switch-wire-to-dash">Step 3: Run the switch wire to the right location</h3> <p>Locate the hole on the firewall where all your car's wires go from the engine to the car's cabin. This is usually located on the driver's side of the car. It will have a rubber gasket surrounding the hole. You will need to grab a flathead screwdriver and lift and wedge back the rubber to where you can shove the white connector. This will bring the switch’s connector underneath your steering wheel (be careful pulling the wire though so you do not cut the wire on the firewall’s sharp edge) from there you can lead it to where you need it inside your car.</p> <h3 id="install-rocker-switch">Step 4: Install the rocker switch</h3> <p>If you are installing a rocker switch, it can be installed to either a pre-cut-out slot in your car or you can measure and cut out a rectangle where your switch will slide into. Once that's determined, plug the switch back into the harness where the wire will go through the hole where you want your switch to be. If you have a dual color bar with two switches and only have one cut-out slot? There is an option for that as well. it's called an <a href="/dual-push-laser-engraved-rocker-switch-x6-x6s-with-wiring">X6/X6S Dual push rocker switch</a>.</p> <h3 id="zip-tie-wires">Step 5: Zip-tie the wires</h3> <p>As you backtrack from the switch pull tight on the wire and zip tie as you make it back into the engine bay. (if you get a wireless remote this is when you will connect the box between the wiring harness and switches) <a href="/wireless-remotes-2">wireless remotes are available here</a>.</p> <h3 id="connect-light-to-harness">Step 6: Connect the led light to the harness</h3> <p>Bring the female connector from the harness to where your pods or bar’s male connector is. If you need more wire, you want to do this after the switches. (If the harness is not long enough there is no problem, with multiple <a href="/wiring-extensions-and-splitters">wiring extensions that you can find here</a>).</p> <ol> <li>Hood/Windshield - One of the most common places to wire is through the very top of your hood by the windshield. If it is the pods that you are running the wire to, it will be right there and all you will need to do is plug them together and zip tie them down and make sure they will not shift around. Also, keep in mind that the hood could pinch the wires when closed so pick a spot with a gap. If you are running the wire up to the top of the windshield you can use the rubber gasket on the side of the windshield to hold the wire in place then make sure to add zip ties where you can to secure the wire more.</li> <li>Bumper/fog/knuckle lights - there are a lot of optional routes to take your wire through to get to these places. The key thing to look out for is hot and or moving parts. If you manage to avoid these you will be ok to zip tie down the wire and secure it to most places. The easiest way is to usually follow other wires if it's going in the direction you need then you will be able to just zip tie the wires to your car's wiring this will make sure it won't get in the way of anything.</li> </ol> <h3 id="connect-harness-to-battery">Step 7: Connecting the harness to the battery</h3> <p>Next, connect the harness to the car’s battery. The first step is to loosen the battery’s car connections which are usually held on by a nut and screw. When loosening the battery connections, it's essential you do not touch both sides of the battery. These are called the positive (RED) and negative (BLACK). Connect the positive connection first then the negative. Each battery will be different per car so use your best judgment on where and how to connect the wire to the battery.</p> <h3 id="install-relay-holder">Step 8: Install the Relay Holder</h3> <p>When you have everything connected, you can install your <a href="/relay-holder">relay holder</a> depending on the car you may or may not have pre-existing holes to screw your relay into. If you do not use the same directions as installing your led light bracket and secure it down with the rivet screws it comes with. Once installed, remove the metal tab from the relay and slide it onto the relay holder when finished. This will keep your engine bay clean and safe.</p> <h3 id="test-led-lightbar-pod">Step 9: Testing the led light bar/pods</h3> <p>Lastly, all you need to do is see if it works! Just flip the red switch or rocker switch and light up the night.</p> <p> <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "HowTo", "name": "How to Install a Wiring Harness for LED Light Bars", "description": "Getting your new LED light bar is an exhilarating experience, but to start using it, you have to install it.

With the availability of both white and <a href="/rgb-rock-lights">RGB rock lights</a>, it can be challenging to decide which one is right for you. In this blog, we will discuss the differences between white and RGB rock lights and help you decide which one is best for your off-road vehicle. Let’s get started!</p> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-led-rock-lights.jpg" alt="LED Rock Lights" width="820" height="820" /></p> <h2>RGB vs. White Rock Lights: Which One is Right For You?</h2> <p>To help you decide this, we will begin with the benefits of rock lights.</p> <h2>The Benefits of Rock Lights</h2> <p>Before delving into the differences between white and RGB rock lights, it’s essential to understand the benefits of having rock lights on your off-road vehicle. These lights provide additional illumination in low-light conditions, making it easier to navigate rocky terrain and spot potential hazards. Additionally, rock lights enhance the aesthetics of your vehicle, making it stand out from the crowd.</p> <h2>White Rock Lights</h2> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/white-rock-lights.jpg" alt="White LED Rock Lights" width="620" height="620" /></p> <p><a href="/rgb-rock-lights">White rock lights</a> are the traditional option and emit a bright, clear light that illuminates the area around your vehicle. These lights are great for visibility while driving at night, allowing you to navigate rough terrain safely. They are also excellent as backup lights, giving you a clear view of the area behind your vehicle.</p> <h3>Why Choose White Rock Lights from Extreme LED Light Bars?</h3> <p>Extreme LED Light Bars offer a range of high-quality white rock lights designed to withstand the rigors of off-road use. Our rock lights are constructed with durable materials and feature the latest LED technology for enhanced brightness and energy efficiency. Additionally, our white rock lights come in various sizes and configurations to fit your vehicle’s specific needs.</p> <h2>RGB Rock Lights</h2> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/rgb-rock-lights.jpg" alt="RGB LED Rock Lights" width="620" height="620" /></p> <p><a href="/rgb-rock-lights">RGB rock lights</a> offer a unique lighting experience with the ability to change colors and patterns to match your mood or surroundings. These lights are a great way to add a personal touch to your off-road vehicle and create a customized ambiance. With RGB rock lights, you can select from a variety of colors, including red, green, blue, yellow, purple, and white, and switch between various patterns, including strobe, fade, and flash.</p> <h3>Why Choose RGB Rock Lights By Extreme LED Light Bars?</h3> <p>Extreme LED Light Bars offers a range of RGB rock lights that provide vibrant and customizable illumination for your off-road vehicle. Our rock lights feature advanced color-changing technology, allowing you to create a personalized lighting experience that matches your mood and surroundings. Additionally, our RGB rock lights are constructed from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and reliability in even the harshest off-road conditions.</p> <h2>Which is the Right Rock Light for You?</h2> <p>The choice between white and RGB rock lights ultimately comes down to personal preference and intended use. If you are looking for traditional, bright white illumination to improve visibility while off-roading, white rock lights are the way to go. On the other hand, if you want to add a personalized touch to your vehicle and create a unique ambiance, RGB rock lights are the perfect choice. Keep in mind that RGB rock lights are typically less bright than white rock lights, so they may not be the best option if visibility is your primary concern.</p> <h2>The Bottom Line</h2> <p>At the end of the day, rock lights are an essential accessory for off-road enthusiasts who want to enhance their driving experience and add a personal touch to their vehicle. Whether you choose white or RGB rock lights, it’s crucial to purchase from a reputable and trustworthy provider like Extreme LED Light Bars.

Installing amber lights on your vehicle is a relatively simple process that can be done with the right tools and equipment. In this blog post, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to install the best amber light bar for your vehicle. Let’s get started!</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-x6-led-light-bar.webp" alt="Extreme LED x6 50 inch on toyota" width="800" height="800" /></p> <h2>How to Install Amber Lights On Your Vehicle</h2> <p>Before we begin with the step-by-step process, let’s discuss the tools and equipment required. It is important to test the light first if they work before proceeding with the installation.</p> <h3>The Required Equipment and Tools</h3> <ul> <li>Amber light bar</li> <li>Mounting brackets</li> <li>Wiring harness</li> <li>Screwdriver</li> <li>Drill and drill bits</li> <li>Zip ties</li> <li>Marker</li> <li>Wrench</li> </ul> <h2>The Step-by-Step Installation Process</h2> <p>To install Amber lights, you will need to follow these steps:</p> <h3 id="choose-location-for-amber-light">Step 1: Choose The Location For Your Amber Light Bar</h3> <p>The first step is to choose the location for your amber light bar. This will depend on the type of vehicle you have and the intended use of the amber lights. Common locations for amber light bars is to have them as ditch lights, or mounted on the roof of the vehicle or the front grille.</p> <h3 id="install-mounting-brackets">Step 2: Install The Mounting Brackets</h3> <p>Install the mounting bracket onto the LED light bar after deciding where to place your amber light bar. Put the light bar there and mark the spot where you need to drill. Make mounting holes with a drill and drill bits, then fasten the brackets with the mounting hardware that comes with the bar.</p> <h3 id="install-wiring-harness">Step 3: Install The Wiring Harness</h3> <p>To install the wiring harness for the amber light bar, connect the harness to the positive and negative battery posts. If you have a relay holder, install it by using factory holes or drilling spots for rivets. Then, run the wiring through the vehicle to where the light bar is mounted (on the roof line, grille, or hood). Next, run the switch wire from the battery to the inside of the car. You can do this by finding the firewall inside the engine and using a flathead screwdriver to open up a gap between the frame of the car and the rubber gasket. Feed the switch wire through this gap.<br />Our harnesses come with quick disconnects on the switches to make this process easier. Finally, use zip ties to secure the wiring to prevent tangling or damage.</p> <h3 id="connect-rocker-switch">Step 4: Connect The Rocker Switch</h3> <p>If you have a rocker switch, connect the switch to replace the factory-installed switch. Mount it in a location that is easy to reach. This will allow you to turn the amber lights on and off as needed.</p> <h3><strong>Tips for Proper Installation</strong></h3> <p><br />Here are some tips to ensure that your installation of amber lights is proper and effective:</p> <ul> <li>Choose the right location for your amber light bar based on your needs and the intended use of the lights.</li> <li>Make sure to install the mounting brackets securely to prevent the amber light bar from coming loose or falling off.</li> <li>Check the wiring and connections regularly to ensure that everything is working properly and there are no loose or damaged wires.</li> </ul> <h2>Why Choose Extreme LED Light Bars?</h2> <p><br />Extreme LED Light Bars are the best in class when it comes to value for money and quality of amber light bars.

It allows a low current "switch" circuit to control the electricity flow of the high-current circuit load, like your <a href="/led-light-bars">LED Light bar</a> for example.</p> <p><a title="Amber LED Light Bars 10% Off" href="/extreme-series-amber-and-white-light-bars"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/topic/amber-sale-blog-post-24_03.jpg" alt="Amber LED Light Bar Sale" width="682" height="229" /></a></p> <h2>Why do I need a Relay?</h2> <p>When you create a circuit, a loop of electricity from the battery positive to your LED Light bar to your battery negative, if you just put a switch between the battery and the light, the switch has to be rated for the full current (amp draw) of the light. Our lowest amp draw <a href="/led-light-pods">LED light pods</a> draws about 1.4 amps. While many switches will be able to handle that, for example, the <a href="/led-rocker-switches">Extreme LED Rocker Switches</a> are rated for 20 amps at 12v. There are very few switches that are designed to handle the the draw of one of our larger light bars like the <a href="/x2-white-dual-row-52-combo-beam-light-bar">Extreme LED X2 52" dual row lightbar</a>, which draws about 40 amps. If you are running too many amps through a component not rated to handle it, bad things can happen like overheating/melting the switch, melting the wires, or at a minimum reducing the current that is getting to your lights which will reduce the power output.</p> <p>Another reason you may want to add a relay is to utilize electrical currents from existing "switches" in your vehicle. Let's say you want to have your <a href="/led-light-bars">LED Light Bar</a> come on with your high beams, or reverse lights, for example. Read more about that below.</p> <p>To see additional light bar options, checkout our <a href="/led-light-bars">full line of lightbars</a></p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-x2-52-full.webp" alt="X2 52 inch dual row combo beam light bar" width="400" height="154" /></p> <h2>How to wire your LED Light Bar using a Relay</h2> <p>The <a href="/wiring-electrical-accessories">relay</a> will have 4 prongs on it, marked 30, 87, 85, and 86. Kind of cryptic isn't it? Well if you are just going to use our <a href="/universal-wiring-harnesses">wiring harness</a>, and a switch, you don't need to know what any of this is, because it comes pre-wired and plugged in together. In fact, our lights also have plug and play connectors so the only electrical wiring you need to do will be connecting the harness to your battery.</p> <p><a href="/wiring-electrical-accessories"><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-atp-harness.webp" alt="atp wire harness" width="400" height="195" /></a></p> <p>However, if you are looking to use an electrical current from another "switch" in your vehicle such as your brakes, reverse lights or turn signals to activate your LED lightbar, then you'll need to do a bit of rework. We will refer to these existing functions in your vehicle as a switch, to clarify that these on/off functions that already exist in your vehicle can be used the same as a switch.</p> <p><a href="https://extremeledlightbars.com/x6s-amber-white-30-combo-beam-light-bar-kit"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/topic/blog-post-march-madness.webp" alt="March Madness" width="480" height="240" /></a></p> <p>First, an explanation of what the 30, 85, 86, and 87 numbers are in the picture:</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-40-amp-relay.webp" alt="40 amp relay" width="300" height="300" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li><strong>30 and 87</strong> create the switch to your LED lights. By default this switch is open, so current cannot get from the battery to your lights.</li> <li><strong>30</strong> is your power source for your LED lightbar. It connects to the positive (+) side of your battery or to a switched power source that only gets power when your ignition is on.</li> <li><strong>87</strong> goes to the positive side of your LED lights.</li> <li><strong>85 and 86</strong> use electrical current to create a magnetic force, which then closes the 30 to 87 switch and allows the electricity to flow to your lights. Without this current, no magnetic force is created, so the 30 to 87 switch stays open, and your lights stay off.</li> <li><strong>85</strong> connects to the power source that you want to control the switch. For example, you could splice a wire off your high beam switch wire or off your backup light wire</li> <li><strong>86</strong> connects to a ground.</li> </ul> <p>(Note: 85 and 86 can be reversed, but our harnesses have them setup this way).</p> <p><a href="https://extremeledlightbars.com/extreme-5d-30-single-row-led-light-bar"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/topic/blog-post-madness-in-march-sale-x1-30_24-03.webp" alt="" width="840" height="70" /></a></p> <h2>What if I don't always want my LED light to come on with my high beams or backup lights?</h2> <p>Good question! So you'd want another switch on your dash that you turn off and on. When it is off, and you put your high beams on, your LED light will still be off and vice versa. In this case, you need to wire the dash switch in between the trigger current, i.e. the line you spliced off your high beam wire or your backup light wire</p> <p>With our <a href="/universal-wiring-harnesses">wiring harness</a>, all you need to do is cut the wire coming from the switch to the 30 prong on the relay and wire it to your high beam lead or your backup light wire. That way, when you do have your high beams on, the current from that goes to the dash switch first, and if that is off, the electricity can't get to the 85/86 circuit to create the magnetic force to close the 30/87 circuit, which turns on your LED lights.</p> <p>Check out our <a href="/wiring-electrical-accessories">Wiring Accessories</a> for <a href="/wiring-extensions-and-splitters">harness extensions</a>, <a href="/led-rocker-switches">rocker switches</a>, and more.</p> <h2>Still have questions?</h2> <p>Check out our blog post about <a href="/how-to-know-which-off-road-led-light-bar-wiring-harness-you-need">How to Know Which Off-road LED Light Bar Wiring Harness You Need</a><br />or our <a href="/dual-color-bar-wiring-diagram">Wiring Harness Diagrams</a>.

Ditch lights are usually mounted at the bottom of the windshield near the edge of the hood using mounting brackets, but can also be mounted on roof racks and bumpers. Check out our category of <a href="/led-light-bar-mounts">vehicle specific ditch light brackets </a> for more mounting options.<img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/extreme-led-ditch-lights.webp" alt="The right ditch lights for your build" width="1162" height="530" /></p> <h2>What is an LED Ditch Light?</h2> <p><a href="/ditch-lights">LED ditch lights </a>are usually low profile <a href="/led-light-pods">LED light pods</a>, much smaller than <a href="/led-light-bars">LED light bars</a>. <strong>This is to prevent any obstruction of vision while on the road.</strong> You will sometimes see ditch lights mounted at a 45 degree angle, this is to improve the driver’s peripheral vision while driving. We also offer LED ditch lights with side shining and forward shining light to avoid the need to angle the ditch lights.</p> <p>Ditch lights can be extremely beneficial if you are planning to use them for off-roading. Night trails can be difficult as it is, especially if you’re following a narrow or advanced trail. <strong>Ditch lights can help prevent accidents by increasing visibility of obstacles, trail markers, and even wildlife</strong></p> <p>Speaking of wildlife, if you live in a rural area or somewhere where you pass through rural roads and the back country at night, ditch lights can help you see wildlife and hopefully avoid any collisions. Many car accidents are caused by deer and other wildlife and can be a very expensive fix on your vehicle. Ditch lights can help you avoid these accidents and save your expensive rig and maybe even a life!</p> <p>Improving visibility on the side of your vehicle can be beneficial for commercial drivers as well; ditch lights help many professional drivers navigate through narrow and poorly lit areas every night. Our LED ditch lights are also affordable and easily installed, meaning you don’t have to miss any time on the road.</p> <p>Now that you understand more about the purpose and function of LED ditch lights, you may be asking which LED lights will work as ditch lights. The main thing to look for when shopping for ditch lights is the angle of light output. The larger the degree, the wider the light will spread. Here are some of our favorite choices for LED ditch light pods.</p> <ul> <li> <h2><a href="/side-shooter-led-light-pod-kit-pair">Side Shooter LED Light Pods</a></h2> </li> </ul> <p><a title="Side Shooters" href="/side-shooter-led-light-pod-kit-pair"><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-side-shooter-led-light-pods.webp" alt="Side Shooter LED Light Pods" width="745" height="745" /></a></p> <p>Our side shooters are definitely a favorite for ditch lights due to their front and side lighting in a single pod. Each pod features 6 forward facing LEDs in spot pattern, 3 side facing LEDs in flood pattern and over 3,000 lumens. The side lighting is only one side of each pod so as to not cause hood glare; this set comes with a pod for the driver’s side and one for the passenger’s side. With our Side Shooter LED Light Pods, you get the best of both worlds: forward driving lights and side flood lighting!</p> <ul> <li> <h2><a href="/extreme-stackerz-kits">Extreme Stackerz Kits</a></h2> </li> </ul> <p><a title="extreme stackerz kits" href="/extreme-stackerz-kits"><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-led-stackerz-kit.jpg" alt="Extreme LED stackerz kit" width="620" height="304" /></a></p> <p>Our Stackerz Kits are the perfect choice if you're looking for a unique look or a specific fit. These modular LED light pods are only 2-inches and can be installed separately or assembled together, making them extremely versatile. These can be configured into a light bar of any size or shape! Assemble multiple Stackerz Pods together in a row or column with the <a href="/stackerz-connector-and-screw-pack">connector kit </a>and a pair of the <a href="/l-mount-for-stackerz-pair">"L" mounting brackets</a>.</p> <p>These pods are made of rugged aluminum and feature a high output single LED, meaning you don't have to sacrifice light output for such a small package. Plus, with the option of spot or flood lenses in amber, white, red or green color, the custom possibilities truly are endless.</p> <ul> <li> <h2><a href="/extreme-series-pods">Extreme Series LED Light Pods</a></h2> </li> </ul> <p><a title="extreme series pods" href="/extreme-series-pods"><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-series-led-light-pods.jpg" alt="Extreme series led light pods" width="894" height="245" /></a></p> <p>Our Extreme Series are some of our most popular light pod series for multiple reasons. These light pods feature optics that couple with an internal reflector to focus all the light onto the magnifying lenses to eliminate internal loss of light and increase overall light output.</p> <p>These pods are a great choice if you’re looking to match your pods with your light bar as we have so many options. We even have <a href="/stealth-series-led-light-pods">low-profile Stealth pods </a>that give a smooth, sleek look. Choose from flood or spot pods, flush mount or regular mount, and amber or white to find the perfect pods for your rig.</p> <ul> <li> <h2><a href="/led-scene-lights">3” &amp; 5” LED Scene Lights</a></h2> </li> </ul> <p><a title="led scene lights" href="/led-scene-lights"><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-led-scene-lights.jpg" alt="Extreme LED Scene Lights" width="762" height="245" /></a></p> <p>In our opinion, scene lights can be some of the most handy lights to have on your vehicle. This is due to their widespread output of light. Our scene lights have a 120 degree beam pattern for wide, even light.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Though typically used for camping or general lighting at a worksite, scene lights are often used as ditch lights while offroading as they really help light up everything around you. Plus, at just 5 or 10 watts, these lights are very efficient in preserving your battery life when you’re off the grid!</p> <ul> <li> <h2><a href="/3-round-pod-light-with-cover">Pro Series 3" Round Pod Light with Cover</a></h2> </li> </ul> <p><a title="3 round pod light with cover" href="/3-round-pod-light-with-cover"><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-round-pod-light-with-cover.jpg" alt="Extreme 3inch pod light with cover" width="620" height="198" /></a></p> <p>These pods are a perfect option if you’re wanting a sleek look with a little extra protection from rocks and branches. When things get crazy on those night trails, the last thing you want is to lose a light! The rugged housing and caged lens help to protect the light against large debris, making this the perfect light for anything from offroading to camping.</p> <p>Another reason many people add a pair of these to the hood of their vehicles is to increase safety at the workplace! This light also has a blue center light that can be used for daytime and nighttime and the caged lens cover is detachable, making the versatility the perfect light for any jobsite.</p> <ul> <li> <h2><a href="/475-45w-round-cree-led-spot-light-5w">Giro 4.75" Round LED Light</a></h2> </li> </ul> <p><a title="round cree led spot light 5w" href="/475-45w-round-cree-led-spot-light-5w"><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-giro-round-led-light.jpg" alt="Extreme Giro 4.75 inch Round LED Light" width="620" height="303" /></a></p> <p>Looking for a round light with a bit more “oomph” than the previous light pod? Well these lights may be the missing piece you’ve been looking for! With 45-watts per pod, these lights are the perfect addition to any build that needs just a bit more light output than the typical small LED pod.</p> <p>The powerful punch in the small package makes this light great for mounting where space is tight, but you still need a powerful light.</p> <p>Looking for something for the front of your vehicle? Check out our selection of <strong><a href="/rally-lights">LED Rally Lights</a>.</strong></p> <p>Rally lights are larger than standard light pods and are typically mounted on the front of your vehicle (depending on size/build).

In this blog, we will walk you through some of our suggestions for adding headlights and fog lights to your vehicle without breaking the bank (or your back!)</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-led-headlights.webp" alt="Extreme LED Headlights" width="700" height="375" /></p> <h2>How to Choose the Best LED Headlights and Fog Lights for You</h2> <p>LED Fog Lights are one of the LED vehicle lighting options that are quickly rising in popularity and have become a favorite for many off road enthusiasts. Most drivers choose to upgrade their halogen bulbs to LED lights due to their easy installation with little to no work or tools required.</p> <p>Not only are they easy to swap out, but LEDs will last you much longer than standard halogen bulbs. Most people are shocked by how much light one LED bulb can put out. Once you upgrade your fog lights to LEDs, you’ll never go back!</p> <ul> <li><a href="/4-led-fog-light">4" Fog Light Kit with Adapters</a></li> </ul> <p><img src="/images/thumbs/0007213_4-led-fog-light-kit-with-adapters_625.jpeg" alt="LED fog light kit with adapters" width="401" height="401" /></p> <p>These 4 inch LED fog lights are the perfect addition as install is easy with little to no modification required. Each light has 30 watts and 1500 lumens per light, coming out to 60w and 3,000 lumens total. With a 6000k color temperature, these give you style and nighttime visibility without sacrificing any light output.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/jeep-wrangler-led-fog-light-4-with-rgb-halo">4" RGB Fog Light Kit with Wiring</a></li> </ul> <p><a href="/jeep-wrangler-led-fog-light-4-with-rgb-halo"><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-four-inch-rgb-fog-light.webp" alt="RGB Fog Light Kit with Wiring " width="384" height="384" /></a></p> <p>These LED fog lights are just like our 4” Fog Lights but with the addition of the RGB halo.

These also have a timing function and music mode and can be connected via bluetooth.</p> <h2>Led Light Bars as Fog Lights</h2> <p>Many people ask “can I use a light bar as fog lights” or “do I need fog lights for the snow?” Or maybe you don’t want to swap out your fog lights at all but instead, add a bit more lighting. This is why we created so many options for pod lights and light bars!</p> <p>We have a large variety of <a href="/extreme-series-amber-and-white-light-bars">amber and white light bars</a> ranging from 3” to 40” and up to fit on your front bumper to add extra visibility. Our amber LED lights are perfect for snowy driving conditions as the amber/yellow color helps pierce through the white snow. Check out our <a href="/extreme-series-pods">amber and white LED light pods</a> as well if you’re looking to add these to a tight spot or are looking for pods to match your LED Light bar.</p> <h2>7” Round LED Headlights</h2> <p>7" round headlights are the ultimate sign of classic and high performing vehicles.

Well, worry not! Here’s a good read that will help you answer these questions.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-wiring-harness-for-led-lightbar.webp" alt="Extreme LED wiring harness" width="700" height="375" /></p> <h2>What is an Offroad LED Light Bar Wiring Harness?</h2> <p>A wiring harness is an organized set of wires, terminals, and connectors that run through the vehicle to relay information and power, thereby playing a critical role in “connecting” a variety of components (including lights). In the case of our harnesses, there is a relay to allow a small amount of power to run to the switch to get an indication of when the light should be turned on. When the switch is on, it lets the relay know to send the power from your battery to the light.</p> <h2>Which harness should I get?</h2> <p>This is one of the most frequent questions we are asked about. We have to understand first what you are trying to accomplish since we have different types of harnesses fit for your needs - making your lives easier - just plug and play! Below are some tips on what you should look at and the types of harnesses we offer.</p> <h2>Things to Consider in Choosing a Harness for Your Light Bars</h2> <ul> <li> <h3>Type of light</h3> </li> </ul> <p>We have different light bars to choose from and the compatible harness is usually recommended at the bottom left portion of the product. The lights have different end connectors, either DT or ATP, depending on the power of the lightbar. All of our pods are going to be DT connectors while larger lightbars (in particular the dual row that needs more power) will typically be ATP.</p> <p>Our X6/X6S series all have a three-prong connector that fits a 3P-21 harness that includes two switches. One of the switches controls the two end sections of the light bar which have amber lenses, the other controls the middle of the light bar which has clear lenses. This allows you to control each section individually to have both on, both off or one only one on at a time. (Note: The amber and clear lenses can be changed out. <a href="/x6-lenses-amber-clear-flood-or-spot">X6 Cover Lenses</a>, <a href="/x6s-lenses-amber-clear-flood-or-spot">X6S Cover Lenses</a>).</p> <ul> <li> <h3>Number of lights to hook up</h3> </li> </ul> <p>Now that you know which light you want to use for your vehicle, let's now look at how many you want to connect to each other. If you were wondering if we have harnesses available to control multiple lights on only one switch - no need to worry ‘cause we have that for you!</p> <h2>Wiring Harness Types</h2> <ul> <li> <h3><a href="/wiring-harness-for-22-and-smaller-lights" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wiring Harness with DT Connector(s)</a></h3> </li> </ul> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/product/wiring-harness-dt-connector.jpeg" alt="Wiring Harness with DT Connector" width="545" height="445" /></p> <p>These wiring harnesses are for lights that state they use a DT connector (Depending on the power and size of the lightbar, It will have a DT connector, all of our pods have one as well) We have 3 types of these that allow you to control one, two or four lights from one single switch. If your arrangement requires 3 lights or more than 4 lights, we also have <a href="/dt-wire-harness-splitter-1-male-2-female" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DT splitters</a> that will allow you to combine your lights to fit the build you are looking for.</p> <ul> <li> <h3><a href="/1-light-wiring-harness-with-switch-for-30-lights">Wiring Harness with one connector (ATP)</a></h3> </li> </ul> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-wiring-harness-to-control-1-light-atp.jpeg" alt="ATP Wiring Harness with DT Connectors" width="620" height="302" /></p> <p>Has 1 ATP connector to control one light. Use these wiring harnesses for lights that state they use an ATP connector (typically these are our bigger light bars that take in more power like the dual rows )</p> <ul> <li> <h3><a href="/x6-wiring-harness-with-switch"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">3 Prong Light Bar Harness (3 prongs)</span></a></h3> </li> </ul> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-dual-color-light-bar-harness-for-one-light.png" alt="Picture of Dual Color Light Bar Harness for One Light" width="620" height="322" /></p> <p>This harness is for the X6 and X6S series since it has 2 separate lights (amber/white). This harness will allow you to control the colors of the light independently on each switch or wire both lights to one switch.</p> <h2>Still need something more?</h2> <p>See our next blog regarding extenders, splitters, and custom wiring to solve all of your light bar wiring needs.</p> <div class="blog-footer"> <h2 class="blog-faq-header">Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <details> <summary class="blog-faq-question">What is an Offroad LED Light Bar Wiring Harness?</summary> <p class="blog-faq-response">A wiring harness is an organized set of wires, terminals, and connectors that run through the vehicle to relay information and power, thereby playing a critical role in “connecting” a variety of components (including lights).

This results in different beam patterns that vary by different product lines.</p> <p>As a generalization, the following terms are true across our products lines:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Spot</strong> - Spotlights will throw a far narrow beam.</li> <li><strong>Flood</strong> - Floodlights will have a wide beam that does not go as far as a Spot beam.</li> <li><strong>Combo</strong> - Combo lights have a combination of spot and flood technologies typically giving the furthest light toward the center of the bar or pod and the widest light toward the outside.</li> <li><strong>Scene</strong> - Scene lights are even more concentrated at close range than our flood lights. Scene lights are great for work light scenarios.</li> </ul> <h2><strong>Light Color</strong></h2> <p>We use a <strong>combination of colored LEDs and colored lenses</strong> to create different lighting effects depending on the line of product you are interested in. As a generalization, the following terms are true across our product lines:</p> <ul> <li><strong>White (Clear)</strong> - Under normal conditions white lights are going to provide the brightest lighting experience.</li> <li><strong>Amber</strong> - When there are particles in the air (dust, fog, rain, snow), white can reflect off of these particles making it difficult to see. In comparison, amber will cut through the particles better.</li> <li><strong>Combination</strong> - We provide a number of combined options in both our light bars and pods so you can switch to the most appropriate color for the occasion.</li> <li><strong>Other Colors</strong> - Other colors of lights serve a number of purposes such as hunting at night and can be achieved by adding one of our lens covers to our white lights.</li> </ul> <h2>Sizes</h2> <p>The named size of our light bars and pods is a general measurement of the size.

Once a specialty product, there are now numerous models of LED light bars from which to choose, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. If this is your first time shopping for a mounted light for your truck or off-road vehicle, you may be unclear as to the differences between these models and how you can be certain that the product you choose best suits your needs. Thankfully, you can use a few distinguishing factors to separate unreliable models from those that are worth your money to ensure that the LED light bar you choose will provide unmatched illumination when you need it the most.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-extreme-led-light-bar-guide.webp" alt="LED Light Bar Buying Guide" width="815" height="544" /></p> <h2>Why LED Light Bars?</h2> <p>First, it should be mentioned that not all light bars make use of LED bulbs. There are also a fair number of models out there that utilize halogen or high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting, and you may be curious as to why an LED light bar is the superior choice. The difference is five-fold:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Efficiency</strong> - LED bulbs are among the most efficient on the market, using up to half as much wattage as their HID counterparts and as much as a tenth as halogen models.</li> <li><strong>Size</strong> - LED bulbs are tiny despite their power, meaning that the mount you choose will take up very little space and add very little weight to your vehicle.</li> <li><strong>Length</strong> - With an average lifespan of up to 40,000 hours, there’s a good chance that the bulbs in your mount will outlive your vehicle.</li> <li><strong>Durability</strong> - LED circuit boards are not susceptible to damage caused by vibrations or impact, making them an excellent choice for the bumpiness and unpredictability of off-roading.</li> <li><strong>Style</strong> - LED lights can be created in various colors, shapes, sizes, and styles. If customizability is your thing, you’ll be certain to find a model that perfectly suits the look of your vehicle.</li> </ul> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/bp-led-light-bar-on-toyota.webp" alt="Benefits of using led light bars" width="820" height="462" /></p> <p>All these benefits admittedly make LED light bars more expensive than halogen or HID models. For that extra cost, though, you’re getting a superior product and one whose durability and long life will save you money in the long run. And while environmental heat can play a larger role in the performance of LED lights than it does for other bulbs, that problem can be remedied by purchasing a quality model with a dedicated heat sink. The question, then, is what makes for a quality LED light bar.</p> <h2>LED Light Bar Brands</h2> <p>As the LED market has grown, certain manufacturers have distanced themselves from the pack by consistently producing bulbs that surpass the competition regarding both performance and reliability. One such manufacturer is CREE, which has spent over twenty years developing and honing its LED technology. Their bulbs are used by many companies as the lighting component of their mounts and have earned their place as the industry standard. What’s more, the previously mentioned issue with environmental heat is much less pronounced for models that make use of CREE bulbs, as their protective heatsinks are typically much more effective than those offered by cheaper and less reliable models.</p> <h2>LED Light Bar Features</h2> <p>Now that you know the benefit of LED lighting and going with a trusted manufacturer, the only question that remains is what exactly you plan on using your LED light bar for. As mentioned, LED light bars now come in a wide range of features and capabilities, which means that there’s almost certainly a model out there that fits your exact needs.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Length</strong></li> </ul> <p>Obviously, the first concern is whether the bar you choose will fit on your vehicle. If you’re looking to mount it to the roof of a full-size truck, you’ll likely be looking for something along the lines of a 44" or 50" LED light bar. The 50" model offers both amber and white lighting within one bar; the amber provides mid-range floodlighting while the white offers a longer, narrower spot beam. Both can be used independently or at once, offering you a great deal of on-the-fly flexibility in your lighting. That is not to say, however, that those features are contained to longer models. A 22" light bar, for example, offers the same flexible lighting capabilities in a less powerful, more compact package perfect for mounting to your vehicle’s grille.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Beam Angle</strong></li> </ul> <p>While those models offer both spot and floodlighting (as well as a combination of the two), not every LED light bar provides all three beam angles. Generally speaking, you’ll want the long, concentrated light of a spot beam for driving, as its powerful, narrow illumination will allow you to identify far-off hazards before they pose a threat. If you’re more interested in using your light bar to illuminate an area - say, a worksite - the width provided by a flood beam angle will likely be more of use to you.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Resistance</strong></li> </ul> <p>Despite their advanced technology, LED lights are unfortunately still susceptible to defects caused by water and dust intrusion to their components. As with heat issues, though, that concern can almost entirely be addressed by purchasing a model that boasts high-rated protection against those dangers. The rating in question is known as ingress protection, or IP; the five scores common to LED light bars (which indicate the hazards they’re tested to protect against) are as follows.</p> <ul> <li> <p>IP65 – dust, nozzle-projected water</p> </li> <li> <p>IP66 – dust, powerful jet-projected water</p> </li> <li> <p>IP67 – dust, temporary immersion in up to one meter of water</p> </li> <li> <p>IP68 – dust, constant immersion in one meter or more of water</p> </li> <li> <p>IP69K – dust, high-pressure, and high-temperature water spray</p> </li> </ul> <p>Generally speaking, a good rule of thumb is to consider the worst hazards that the vehicle to which your light bars will be attached will realistically encounter; then, if possible, buy one grade up to be safe.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p> <p>Adding an LED light bar to your vehicle is one of the easiest ways to improve its capabilities, to add a new degree of safety and usefulness to your everyday truck or off-roader. We hope that this guide has given you the information you need to search for the perfect model.

Well here is a little insight that we hope will help in making your decision.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/blog-beam-pattern.webp" alt="Extreme LED Light Bar Beam Pattern" width="700" height="375" /></p> <h2>The Difference between Spot, Flood, and Combo</h2> <p>Spot, Flood, or Combo?</p> <h3>Spot</h3> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/blog-icon-spot-light-beam.png" alt="Spot light beam pattern" width="150" height="150" /></p> <ul> <li>A spot beam has a narrow beam spread of only 8º. This is great for task-specific lighting. For example, when you want nighttime road or trail visibility you want the light focused and intense in a particular area. The spot pattern is great for that.</li> </ul> <h3>Flood</h3> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/blog-icon-flood-light-bar-beam-pattern.png" alt="Flood light beam pattern" width="150" height="150" /></p> <ul> <li>Flood has a wide 90º beam pattern so the light is more spread. When you want to light up a wide area, like your campsite, or a work area, the flood is the right choice.</li> </ul> <h3>Combo</h3> <p><strong><img src="/images/uploaded/blog/blog-combo-light-beam.png" alt="Combo light beam pattern" width="150" height="150" /></strong></p> <ul> <li>When you want versatility, the Combo is a good choice. It gives a mix of spot beam pattern LEDs and flood beam pattern LEDs all within the same light. The trade-off is that you are not splitting up the beams so neither the flood nor the spot beams produced are as bright as a dedicated spot or beam light.</li> </ul> <h3>The Best?</h3> <p>Well that all depends on your specific situation and budget. If you can afford it, a great combination to have is a dedicated spot coupled with a dedicated flood. For example, it is typical for us to outfit a Jeep Wrangler with a 20" spot LED light bar mounted on the bumper which is used for road/trail visibility. Then have either a couple of 6" flood LED light bars mounted at the lower corners of the windshield or a really nice set up is a 40" LED light bar mounted across the top of the windshield.</p> <div class="blog-footer"> <h2 class="blog-faq-header">Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <details> <summary class="blog-faq-question">What beam pattern for my LED Light Bar should I get?</summary> <p class="blog-faq-response">That all depends on your specific situation.

See our picture gallery below to preview some of these lighting locations.</p> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/blog/blog-light-bar-mounting-location.webp" alt="LED light bar and pod mounting location" width="700" height="375" /></p> <h2>The suggested Equipment and Tools</h2> <p>Before you start the process, you will need a measuring tape. This is important because it will provide all the information you will need on the size light bar you will want to get after picking the location. Or it will help you determine the location you want to go with based on the size light bar you want to get. To determine if a bar will fit or not the important measurements are where the brackets will be mounted to the car and the space between the two mount points for the LED light bar.&nbsp;</p> <h3 id="where-to-mount-your-led-lights">Where to mount your LED Light Bar or Light Pods?</h3> <p>Some locations are easier to mount and wire than others. Here is a list of locations that we will review, in order of those that are easiest to mount first:</p> <h3><a href="/led-light-bumper-and-grille-mounts"><strong>Front</strong> Bumper</a></h3> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/bp-extreme-how-to-choose-an-led-light-bar-or-pod-mounting-location-step-1.webp" alt="bumper mounted lightbar on a Subaru" width="550" height="550" /></p> <p>The easiest location to mount your LED light bar is typically on the front bumper. Often there are already holes in the bumper so purchasing additional mounting hardware is not required. Even if there are no existing holes that will work for your mount location, drilling a bumper is a quick and easy job so you can mount your new light exactly where you want it. From the bumper, it is also a snap to get the wiring inside the engine compartment.</p> <p>The mounting flexibility of the bumper also makes it suitable for just about any LED light. For example, You could place a <a href="/extreme-5d-30-single-row-led-light-bar">30 inch LED light bar</a> or two <a href="/5-led-light-pod-7200-lumens">5 inch LED Light Pods</a> on the front bumper.</p> <p>The cons of the bumper are that the light direction is coming from the same direction as your stock headlights. Though this isn't a huge downside, you won't get the advantage of lighting your way from multiple light angles, which often provides overall better visibility than just one angle.</p> <h3 id="lower-windshield-mount"><a href="/led-light-hood-mounts"><strong>Lower</strong> Windshield <strong>Pillar Mount</strong></a></h3> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/bp-extreme-how-to-choose-an-led-light-bar-or-pod-mounting-location-step2.webp" alt="Ditch mounted stackerz on a Subaru" width="550" height="550" /></p> <p>The lower windshield pillar mount is a great place to mount a pair of our <a href="/led-light-pods" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LED Light Pods</a> and offers a greater amount of light angle differentiation from your stock headlights than the bumper mount location, increasing visibility. This location does require additional mounting hardware, such as our JK pillar mount or TJ pillar mounts, but they are pretty economical in price and simply bolt on using the existing mounting holes on your Jeep (no drilling required).</p> <p>Wiring from the pillar mount location requires some drilling, but it is pretty straightforward and can be easily filled with a cheap plug that you can get at Ace Hardware, Lowe's, or the like, in the unlikely event you decide to remove your lights at some point in the future.</p> <h3 id="upper-windshield-mount"><a href="/led-light-upper-windshield-mounts"><strong>Above</strong> the <strong>Windshield</strong></a></h3> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/bp-extreme-how-to-choose-an-led-light-bar-or-pod-mounting-location-step3.webp" alt="Roof mounted dual color light bar on a 5th gen 4runner" width="550" height="550" /></p> <p>Above the windshield is excellent for allowing you to have the greatest amount of light angle differentiation from the headlights, providing the best overall visibility. It also has the room to use the largest of LED light bars, like our <a href="/x2-white-dual-row-52-combo-beam-light-bar">52 inch dual row LED light bar</a>, giving you the most amount of <a href="/faq#lumen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lumens of light</a> than the other locations. This location does require you to purchase additional mounting hardware, and wiring will require some drilling, but if getting the maximum amount of quality light is your goal, then this is the ideal location. Plus, it adds a certain badass look that you might be going for.</p> <h3 id="combination-of-mounting-locations">A Combination</h3> <p><img class="center" src="/images/uploaded/bp-extreme-how-to-choose-an-led-light-bar-or-pod-mounting-location-step4.webp" alt="Kitted out 5th gen 4runner with extreme led lights" width="550" height="550" /></p> <p>Now no one says you have to pick just one! You can combine any of these locations to give you even more light and mean aesthetics.

These are typically bars in lengths of 40 inches or longer.Lower Windshield/A-Pillar Mounted: Many offroaders add ditch lights to their vehicles because they are small and easy to install while adding extra light to the side of the road while driving, hence the name ditch lights. These provide extra safety as they illuminate more of the trail while offroading but also work great as close up lighting as many include flood or scene lights, providing extra light for projects like setting up camp for the night.Bumper/Grille Mounted: Most offroad vehicles or aftermarket bumpers have a spot where you can easily add an LED light bar.
