Great video only if you could go more in depth on how you got all those wires to the engine bay and what power source did you connect all those wires to
My toxic trait is I believe I’m an expert after watching this. Thank you 🎉
Watched the vid to see what locations you mounted them to. Word to the viewers though, ground connections can be localized to the light...the entire chassis/frame is a ground, so don't feel it necessary to run ground wires throughout the vehicle, just the power wires. If you want them to turn on with a switch, as well as with the doors, you'd essentially need to do a double relay system, one relay for the main switch, with a secondary relay triggered by a wire that gets ground or power once the doors open (a chime, a ground signal which turns on the interior lights, etc.). I'm going to do a more detailed video since people seem to want wiring explanations. You wouldn't want to run this direct through a switch, even though it's low amps...wouldn't be wise, unless the switch has lots of margin for amps.

You can use a voswitch or Spod to hook these up they are designed to do this.
Looks awesome Dex!!! Funny I just put rock lights on mine this past weekend too. Keep up the good work. 👍🏽

I got a blue 2002 tj with a 3 inch lift and I just put my hard top on today. Any recommendations for rock lights that change colors via remote.
I bought magnets off amazon and glued them to the back of my rock lights. Now I can stick them anywhere on the body. Try it out sometime

Or just buy lux lights they are designed with a magnet for mounting and it uses the metal to disperse the heat from the light
I'd like mine connected to dome lights. I suppose via footwell lights. How do you get from the rocksliders to footwell lights and keep your jeep waterproof?
Awesome lights man. I’m a new subscriber!
Great video :) one thing ... for those of us new to this .....how to finish off the electrical connections would be awesome ...l have the wiring done but how to get he’d unit connected to power and connect the trigger so it works when you open the door ??? Can it run off the tough country controller or is it better connected to the battery ( opt7 quantum lights ).... keep up the good work !!!!!!

Did you guys not route all the wires together and then that one cord to a power source? Did you guys wire each cord to a power source?
Looks awesome! What gauge wire did you use?
Neil!!!... wtf!!! no wonder you're not answering my calls... need you to get back to Toronto to do my installs. 😤 but seriously, it was nice seeing you guys hooking up.

Did you figure out how to separate the inner fender from the tub because it took me about 5 minutes and then I put the wires through the little hole behind the tail lights fishing it up through the grommet inside of the tub in the back and then through the cab
Did they come with extra wiring?
ive been thinking to add these to mine... looks awesome

Dude, I like your rig and vids.consider turning your pillar light out at a 45 degree angle. With a light bar, bumper lights and headlights you have a ton of forward light overlap. Turning your pillar lights will give you a much wider sweep. I run duels at 45 and 90 degrees. I have a 270 degree sweep of visibility. Just my two cents! Keep the vids coming! Thanks

Zip ties are an interesting way of installing them. Let me know how they hold up. I would be afraid of ripping them off. Check out DCS lighting they make frame mounted rock lights so you can just put them in your frame holes no drilling required. I did a video on them. Great video though can't wait to see those tires on. What did you go with?
@adventuredex
6 жыл бұрын
+The Bearded Jeeper Thanks for the comment Kyle! Yah zip ties are not my preferred choice for installations HOWEVER because these rock lights are so small and light plus there is not a real good way to “bolt” them without drilling and cutting.... that’s why zip ties seem to be the way to go. Espically since the strong plastic zip ties can be mounted to anything and will last a long time! I will look into the brand you suggested tho! Also I just posted a pic of the wheels on IG!!
Geez, w a pita to wire each one seperately. Most rock lights come with IP68 plug & play harness wired to a single module. No splicing, soldering, heat shrink. Then just 1 set of hot/grounds to switch pod. Now that you got some wheels, maybe you should've waited to do some new fenders before rock lights because you might have to re-do some if and when u get fenders...and you're right, might not serve purpose off road but nothing wrong with a little eye candy!

Can you wire the rock lights to each other and have one wire running to the box instead of buying extensions for the rock lights in the rear that need them
@onemanband1349
4 жыл бұрын
Yes you definitely can. Those little lights don’t pull hardly any amps. You can wire all the lights in sync with each other and then just run 1 power and 1 negative and be done with it. That is definitely how I’ll be doing mine.
Bad ass ! New Sub here !! Wulfy
How far apart should you mount your rock lights if you have a 9 foot in length area and how many lights should you use?

so did you wire all the lights to eachother, then run on of the lights wires to the battery or switch pod? so if you had say 8 lights, all 8 are wired together and then the 8th one goes to the switch pod? i want to do rock lights, preferably RGB that are wired to my switch pod, no controlled on and off from phone

So you say it’s an 8 piece set yet I count you installing at least 14 lights. 1 in each wheel well. 2 behind the grill, 2 under each bumper and 1 under each door. How did you do all that with an 8 piece set?

Good eye! You are correct, GTAJeeps sells a standard 8 piece set but I added on a new extras to have a better effect. Thanks for watching!
I purchased 4 thinking that’d be enough 😂. 2 in the grille and two in the front fenders. I be buying an 8pc next. 4 on the step bars. 2 on the fenders. 2 on the rear bumper.
? I’m new at wiring so if you wire it do you run lead power to just one light then jump it from light to light

Installed this on my Jk last year, but the length of the kit sucked. Pay attention to the lengths of the wires when ordering. Buy the longest that is available, mine barely would reach from wheel well to wheel well.
