Thanks for showing me how to install this exact light which I just bought. I'm night blind and going through the Eisenhower/Johnson tunnels on I-70, which are 1.7 miles long each way, is absolutely terrifying. Since traffic is one way in each tunnel, this will get me through the tunnels safely without killing me or my fellow drivers. There are lights in the tunnel, but they are so filthy and weak, they might as well not be there for me being night blind. I was surprised at the number of comments from those who try to make themselves feel good by making others feel bad by complaining about running the switch wire through the door seal rather than through the firewall. This light is not a fixture on the space shuttle and I sure am not going to drill a hole through the firewall of my car. I'll do it just like you did it. It will work fine and you know the saying, "Perfection is the enemy of good enough". Thanks again!
This was SUPER helpful brother. 11pm at night over here getting it all installed thanks to you man! Amazing tutorial! Thank you for sharing with all of us! 🙏😎💯

I’d go through the firewall. Less chance of crimping or breaks. It looks cleaner too.

way easier way to run the wire through the firewall there is a little rubber gasket that goes through and you can push through there instead of going outside the door area

So glad I found this video. I'm about to add a light bar and grill guard on my van. I was wary about bolting to my vehicle. This is a great idea mounting it on the grill guard.
Man, I want to start by thanking you for sharing this video. I have bought an E350 4x4 Van with a long 50inch light bar on the top. I recently bought the same wiring harness as the one you used and was having seconds thoughts if I could wire the light bar on my own or not. This video convinced me and helped me do it on my own.

I have been wanting to install one of these, but didn't know how to route the switch. Thanks for the tutorial. It makes it totally easy now. Great job 👍
I just put mine on. Works great. Thanks so much. Excellent instructions
This is actually the BEST Nilight installment video on KZread.
Looks like that bumper bar is a "bit" loose, make sure to tighten that too!

Thanks for this. Just bought one earlier to throw onto my little Dakota for the occasions that I go out onto forest trails at night.
Thank you for video. Really helped me figure out what needed to be done. Im running it to a roof rack though so bit different running of the wires
I have a rough country bull bar on my Silverado 1500 Z71. It's an 04' so I have the same body style. I appreciate this video man. Helped me a ton with my install. My bull bar came with two rubber grommets for the pre drilled light bar holes. Helped with fumbling with the bolts. Lol. I'm a bull in a China shop but again thank you so much for the video!!

Thanks for making it so simply an installation. I found a rubber cover on the left hand side where one of the A/C hose goes trough and stuck it in there so that the rubber on the door doesn't get worn out and also to keep the water from going inside when is raining hard.

Good stuff man just got mine and installed them on my truck thanks for the video 👍
Thanks. Good video. I think the only thing I'm going to do before I do this is use RTV on the light bar. I saw another video with how to take these apart and do that, just in case. Mine, same brand, came with a plug that doesn't mount like yours in the video does. It's the round kind. But I just checked and the other plug seems to attach to the wire, so I might swap them.

How far are the holes on your bull bar where you put on the light bar? The two holes on my brush guard are close to 20".
Thanks buddy this was very helpful. I'm gonna be putting one on my Chevy blazer lt.
Question I know when you order the lightbar they sent you the lightbar and also a couple of coupons but also there is one paper in there that says if you make a video and send it to them you get a special gift just wondering what is the special gift
Curve light bars look amazing too
Does the built in fuse box for the light prevent it from draining the battery since it's directly connected to the battery? I'd like to get the ditch lights and the light bar but I don't want them to suck my battery dry.
Great video! Did the Nilight light bar hold up well? I've used cheaper light bars before and got maybe a year out of them.

I’m confused as to how you connected the positive lead to the battery. Where was that mounted?
Thanks for the video. Putting my eBay special on my pilot after work.
Very good video, straight to the point and helpful. Thank you👍
I installed one on my f150. Works great just where it connection is way to short since my battery is on the passenger side I have to reach all the way over to turn on and off
ThNks ! Doing one on my tahoe and wanted to check drilling points
So I have one similar to this and where you attach the positive wire to the battery, it’s not big enough to go over my terminal. Any thoughts of what to do to get it on there?
Are the extra two leads on the switch for a second Bar on same switch?, just black tape them off?
Wow ...You made a great vid and should be franchised...no kidding...great explanation, tagged major issues with the harness mounting made the product, a gotta have accessory. Thanks and it took a bit of latent feer of screwing up the first time for a guy at 70 to do a first. Have a new/used hybrid and huge battery source for light...or marine epower and maybe run a boat for a while once I get the harness and release mechanism assembled. Happy Trails

How did you get the + on the front post battery
I ran mine to a switch under my hood and connected my power and ground to my fog lamps so when I turn on my fog lamps from inside the truck it will also turn on my light bar and if I don't want it to I just throw the switch under the hood and I can continue to use my fog lights without the light bar

@847MicRoss
5 жыл бұрын
It probably wont kill the battery, but yes it should be off when the lights are not in use. Also don't run your wires through the door jam or fenders. With the car door opening and closing they have the potential to be pinched which could later cause a short.
When you order the light, did the second box come with it? Or was that a different order?
@richardplastino792

At least in 2023, if you order the lighting unit and the harness as a package, they come in one box. And you definitely need the harness unless you're a master electrician specializing in vehicles.
