Very informative! I was wonder how I'm going to wire into a switchpro that does use a rocker, but duh..I'll never use low anyway, thanks for that. Did think of dropping below the winch guard, definitely going to see how it looks that way too now. Thanks again, I'll be saving this for my install.
just a couple of notes after personally dealing with these lights for a Jeep JL with Aux Switch 1. You don't need the provided relay from BD as your jeep is already equipped with these relays 2. You do lose some wiring which I ended up cutting and tossing away 3. You can either connect your amber lights to a Aux switch OR to running lights as shown on the video 4. You don't need to connect Red/Black wires to the battery. You basically end up with 4 wires: White - High Beams Red - Low Beams (Which I did not connect) Black - Ground Yellow - Amber Running Lights Hope this helps someone
Hey Luis, thanks for your detailed comment. Yes, I totally agree with everything you said. The BD harness I used was a complete overkill. Auxiliary switch 1 already has a built in relay so the relay in the new harness isn’t needed. However, I wired the lights directly to the battery and used the aux 1 to open the relay instead of running all the power through auxiliary switch. I think the way you wired yours is a good way since your can delete much of the extra wire. When I wired mine, I decided not to cut the harness. Cheers.
I just received a set of lp4 lights with upfitter wiring to connect to the jeep aux switches and it only has 1 wire harness for each light without the relays or a wire to tap in to the DRL. I was thinking about adding an eyelet on each yellow wire to connect to the battery so they’re on with the daytime running lights. Do you think that would work or is there a better way to connect them? I’m going to wire the high beams to auxiliary 3.
Well just figured out that they included 3M 901 connectors to splice into the other wires so all good! Thanks for the video, definitely helped a newbie with installing the first set of lights.
I would not recommend wiring it like this. You're adding extra wiring and complexity. The AUX switch is already fused and relayed. You should run power directly from the AUX wire to both LP6 lights.
Like I said in previous comments, I did add extra wire but not complexity. No cutting and stripping the harness made it a 10 minute install. At some point I will add a switch pro with addition lights and will probably reduce all unnecessary wiring. Thanks for comments
I cringed when I saw the wire taps. Hopefully the future wiring upgrade includes crimping, soldering, adhesive heat shrink, shrink tube, and then wire loom. Something tells me this guy will probably end up doing something like that because he seems to have high standards.
I’m sure you could but I didn’t want to waste another switch. The other three switches are already being used. Besides, if you’re going to turn on your off-road lights (cause they can’t be used on the road) I want the most amount of light possible. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Since you're in CA do you need to have covers on the LP6? I had heard the accessory lights have to be covered there for on street driving so thought I'd ask.
Great video. After seeing this one I order the same bumper as well. Killer bumper. But I had a question, I just got the squadrons for the fogs. How the hell are they supposed to sit in the opening? They seem to be pointing outwards. Is that normal?
Austin, Thanks for watching. The squadrons can be angled in the bumper however you like. Mine are angled out a little bit only because I like that look. They can be pointed directly forward if you like. The bumper is amazing and would definitely purchase again. Cheers!
I thought you would have had a relay panel and connected to it. So the backlight is on when the parking lights are on and the high beam only when you turn on the auxiliary switch you connected to? That's a mess of wiring to fasten down and coil up in the engine bay. I have a couple things like that on my truck and want to remove them and use a relay panel.
Cutting the wire harness and connecting to a switch panel is a good option and will get rid of a lot of extra wiring. Cutting the harness and connecting directly to the Aux switches is another good option. One day if my engine compartment gets crowded with wire, I might consider this. I think everyone's knowledge will vary and each should choose whatever method they feel comfortable with. Cheers and thanks for your comment.
I came to the comments for this answer haha. Looks like a nice bumper. Will have to see if they have for the JK. It's difficult to find nice stubby bumpers with recessed winch and fog light provisions.
I connected the high beam wire only to one auxiliary switch wire. I don’t really see a need for the low beam option. My head lights would be considered a low beam. Hope that helped.
@@santacruzoverlander Just FYI with that harness if it is the same as mine, and you can call Baja Designs customer service to confirm, the way the harness works is if the low beam are on and you turn on the high beam the relay will automatically kill power to the low side. So you can wire in both and do not have to worry.
@@tikijeep Thanks Chad for the comment. That’s something that I’m unaware of. I might have to reach out to BD at some point. However, I don’t want to use another factory Aux switch for low beam lights. (Only have 4) Someday when the Jeep build gets a SPod I definitely would consider it.
