Nilight - 60005C-A 20Inch 126W Spot Flood Combo Led Light Bar Off Road Lights Boat Lighting Fog Light Driving Lights LED Work Light for Trucks, 2 Years Warranty

I needed more light, especially on the rural country roads where I live with deer and hogs getting hit all the time on the roads. I wanted to be able to see more than a few yards ahead, and these will fit the need. Obviously I can't drive with them on all the time, but if no one is coming the opposite direction at night, I'll have them on.Installation can be tricky for anyone who is not experienced so if this is your first try at something like this, I'd suggest you ask for help from someone who is experienced. I will eventually mount a real bull bar on the Jeep Grand Cherokee and move the lights to that location, mainly because there is not any metal in the center of the bumper that the existing license plate mounted to. The light bar mount is pretty secure and because of the slotted holes, I managed to screw it down a little crooked, but I loosened the screws and was able to level the mount last night, long after I took the jeep photo shown.I did not use the switch that comes with the wiring harness and unplugged the white connector to remove the switch. Reason for that is that right now my bright lights are not much improvement over my low beams and with my LED fog lights and low beams on, I get flashed by oncoming traffic. I've switched to high beams which cuts off my fogs, and no one flashes me. I decided, to not cut a hole in my dash to mount the switch, and figure out how to pull the wires through my firewall, and instead would use the fog lights switch to turn on and off the fog lights and the LED light bar at the same time, since I can't really drive with the fogs on anyway full time. To do this, I used the white wire coming off the relay pin 86 which is the trigger for the relay to allow the passing through of 12 volts from the battery to the lights with the wiring harness. I cut the white wire just before the white plug, leaving the black and red, then taped up the plug with electrical tape since it will be dangling loose, kind of. I had to pull the weather shield loose between the wheel well and the back of the headlight area to be able to work with the fog light wires, on the passenger side of my vehicle. Under the hood, the passenger side is where my fuse box and ground point are with a positive terminal in the fuse box that is easy to screw down the red wire connector, and just a few inches away is the ground point for connecting jumper cables to, which can be screwed off, slide the black wire connector on and screw the ground point back on. These are the black and red wires that came with the ring connectors already on them. There was a screw that was in the frame in front of my fuse box that was doing nothing so I chose to mount the relay there. I verified that the white wire on the back of my fog light harness was showing 12 volts when the fog lights were on, so I stripped about 5/8 inch of the wire without removing and cutting it, so that I could fold it and squeeze it into an insulated spade connector of this type: https://www.amazon.com/Disconnect-Connectors-WLEAD-Electrical-Assortment/dp/B0CHB5H7XX/ref=sxin_16_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.f1ae5671-a572-4614-89aa-2c9d534241e0%3Aamzn1.sym.f1ae5671-a572-4614-89aa-2c9d534241e0&crid=2L290ZPYH1KU0&cv_ct_cx=insulated%2Bspade%2Bcrimp%2Bconnectors&keywords=insulated%2Bspade%2Bcrimp%2Bconnectors&pd_rd_i=B0CHB5H7XX&pd_rd_r=0ab0d9e0-6815-400b-925f-5d9ff52fd9c5&pd_rd_w=hEMRN&pd_rd_wg=LuEkb&pf_rd_p=f1ae5671-a572-4614-89aa-2c9d534241e0&pf_rd_r=VFVE3B38J2WCZS2KF8GA&qid=1700593099&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=insulated%2Bspade%2Bcrimp%2Bconnectors%2Caps%2C87&sr=1-2-ac07dfd7-5f37-4797-bcf7-0f4905c82761-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1I crimped on the connector and added the mating connector to the white wire I cut earlier on the wiring harness and connected the two together. I zip tied that together so the wires aren't really swinging around under there. Now, when the fog lights are turned on, that 12 volts will send a trigger to the relay to turn on the LED light bar. Next I crimped on the two spade connectors that came with the kit onto the black and red wires coming off the light bar and connected them to the end of the wiring harness I fished through behind the grill an zip tied in a few places to keep it secure. Last, I just tied the remaining wire bundle together with a zip tie and then tied up the wiring coming from the light bar under the grill and was finished.You can see in the jeep photo how the bar mounts, (before I leveled it), the fuse box photo of how I wired to power, and the low, high, and light bar photos. I will probably raise the light bar angle a bit to get a little more distance and less flooding of the road right in front of me, but I am really happy with the outcome especially considering the cost of this setup. If you have regular, non-HID headlights and want to power your light bar with your high beams you could do what I did except you would find the wires behind your high beam lights and verify which has 12 volts when the high beams are on and use that wire for your trigger to the white wire in the light bar harness. Or, you could just pull the wires through your fire wall and mount the switch like a normal human would and use the switch provided to turn them on and off. Have fun and enjoy all the light!

Works great fast shipping

So far so good. Just installed and tested, Looks sharp and is VERY bright. Throws light into my back pasture which is at least 300 yards. Mounting brackets are minimalist and cheap but you can make them work. The real test will be how it holds up to time & moisture.

I installed this on a 2000 Ford F150 and it fit well without blocking airflow to the radiator. I couldn't figure out how to get the wiring to go through my firewall (honestly, I didn't try too hard to figure it out) so I spliced them into my fog lights. When I turn on my fog lights, this spot light lights up. I cannot have both my fog lights and my high beams on at the same time the way the truck's switch is set up so when I'm in the woods or in the country with no other cars around, I use this lightbar instead of my high beams and it works very, very well. My truck's headlights, being as old as they are, kind of suck anyway so this is a definite improvement.

As described

Beyond what I excepted and great price!

This thing is insanely bright!! I installed my light bar on the brush guard of my 1989 Ford Ranger, anyone who knows old trucks knows that the headlights are damn near totally useless on most of them. I tried everything, lens restoration kits, the brightest and most expensive halogen bulbs on the market, all new wiring straight from the battery to eliminate any corroded old connections and still I can ride around with my high beams on and no one can tell the difference and I can't see a damn thing. This LED light bar is pretty compact at only 20" and was super easy to bolt on and get it aimed properly. The outer housing of the light is heavier than expected and feels like it could take a fair amount of abuse honestly, I have used it for almost 2 years now, on road, off road, through heavy snow, sleet, rain, 0 degrees or 100 degrees I have never seen any moisture at all get inside of the light housing. Every diode on the light continues to work perfectly and it is just as bright today as the day it was delivered to me. 2 silver star ultra halogen bulbs(brightest on the market that I know of at least)will easily run you at least 50 or 60 bucks, do yourself a favor and spend the $30 on this light bar that is easily 10 times brighter and will last longer too. Now I am a mechanic and am pretty good with electrical systems so I have mine wired up to turn on and off automatically when I turn my high beams on and off which is the most convenient way as far as I'm concerned, although I also have it wired to a toggle switch in case I only want the light bar on or if I don't want it to come on with my high beams. What I like the most about this particular model compared to other light bars of the same size is the combination of spot light lenses and flood light lenses, the 6 lenses at either end of the light are floods and the rest are spot lights so you get the best of both worlds. I live out in the country so at night I can easily see 100 yards straight down road clearly and probably at least 50 yards out on both sides of my truck, which really gives you piece of mind because you see deer well before they get close to the road or jump out at you which is probably my favorite feature. Now I have never been pulled over for using this light on road even though technically it is illegal except for off road use, at least in PA where I live, but like I said I use mine light my high beams, if there are cars coming the other way or in front of me I turn it off right away and have passed cops doing this and never been hassled. I also usually don't use the light bar when in town just to play it safe, and you really only need it out on dark back roads anyway honestly. I also have mine mounted at the same height as my factory headlights and I properly aimed my light bar using the same process used for aiming headlights to make sure it's not intentionally blinding other cars on the road, although it really is so bright I try to be very quick about getting it turned off when other cars are around because it really could blind someone if you're not careful about using it. Every state is difference but I imagine if you're smart and courteous about using it you should be fine, it you have it aimed too high or have it mounted somewhere up high like a roof rack and use it on road you are probably just begging to be pulled over and given a ticket.
