Hey, great video! As someone who’s new to the SXS stuff, I’ve really enjoyed the videos you put out! One thing to keep in mind with wiring gauge, if you go thinner on the wire you want to make sure to calculate wire length, amperage and wire gauge. Too much amperage for a given length of wire will cause the wire to heat up and can be an issue. With the 5A fuse, I’m sure you’ll be fine - but I would double check and make sure that the fuse is the weakest link (in terms of amperage) and not the wire itself, otherwise the wire will burn up before that fuse ever blows. Nonetheless, I’m sure 18G wire is fine for this length at under 5A. Looking forward to more videos!
@GLifeUTV

U are absolutely right. But this video would me 10 mins longer trying to explain amperage draw to correct guage wire and fuse. .. 5 amp is definitely safe for 18guage wire at 12v

Great video and really helped to clear all of it up, with the exception of the blue and white wire.

Great video can u do one or explain to me how the wiring goes though I didn’t buy a wiring key and am trying to DIY everything I got a relay a rocker switch and the lights ready but I’m lost on how the wiring goes does the switch go to battery or does relay or both of them and on the neutral wires can I put them into one wire and go to - on battery?
Great video, it explained the process well. I have a question, I’m installing 4 rear lights on my 2022 Commander. Can all 4 be wired to the same switch or do I need two switch’s. I’d like to hit one switch and have all four come on at once. Thank you

Also if u ride in rocky/gravel terrain expect to have to repair some spots from time to time. Also i recommend using edge sealer on all edges and make sure they are completely sealed or they will peel. Also all the textured plastics need to be treated first. Using a heat gun. Heat them until the plastics turns dark. Just don't over due it and melt it.. it is alot of work. Best would be have a wrap company make you a wrap if u want flames or go paint. Good luck bro🤙

I'm having trouble. How do I wire the switch from my Polaris ranger pulse bar which has three wires red (constant hot) ,yellow (hot when ignition is on), black (ground) to the 5 pin switch where the light on the switch and the power to the switch is off when the ignition is off and lights up when the ignition is on and works... basically like a stock switch. Please help!!! Can I use the yellow wire from the pulse bar (hot when ignition is on) to run to my switch as positive like you state in the video, I know on the Ranger forum some said something about using a relay and that using the yellow wire can blow a fuse or something but I don't see why it would. Please please help.

I have 2 small LED lights on the frt of my Polaris currently on a 3 prong switch such as you showed early on in your vid. Can I use these 5 prong switches to light the LED's without a relay. I had to use a relay on the Reverse LED's due to the lights still on dimly when the SxS was running. This is due to the SxS supplying constant power on the reverse circuit and it's a switched ground. I could put it on the keyed circuit but you'd need to have the key on to use, since I don't have an accessory setting on my Ignition I have to have the bike on the run position which causes the injectors to cycle etc which can be harmful if done too many times.
