Off-Road LED Light Bar and Wiring Harness Recommendations??

frankthetank · 02-11-2016, 06:06 AM

Looking to by a 24" to 32" LED Light Bar in the style of this picture.
I am going to mout int overhead on the canopy support bar. So a bracket mount is preferable rather than bolt through.

There are mixed reviews online of durability/longevity.

Anyone have one of these light bars that they suggest? And a good wiring harness and relay that works well?

No picture but I bolted through the mount the mount that came with my light bar. My lights came with a swivel mount but the bolt that came with the lights wasn't long enough to make it through the mount.

As for the wiring. I wired in this harness (google it) ....

I have a 12" Arsenal mounted on mine is a really nice LED bar, for my needs 12" is enough. And the mounting where it is has worked great for me, the rocker switch is next to my left leg; you can see the blue light from the switch in the first picture.

Cool....did you even need to mess with installing a relay with it too?

Mine come with one and the full wiring harness for it including the switch and the relay, it was a breeze to install.

The wiring is similar to this, but with a lighted rocker switch : http://www.ebay.com/itm/1X-40A-Wirin...s/291620583148

I'll see if I can get a picture of the inside wiring for you this weekend since I will be rewiring the amp and the stock lights.

I have a couple of these on carts and they work really well. 19" 90w. Tucked one in the grill on my truck as well.

Used this wiring harness. Waterproof switch.

Nice. What is the size of the mounting bracket base? I plan on installing on the front of the canopy over head tilted forward parallel to the ground.

My canopy is extended (probably 11 feet or so...6 seater). It has aluminum channel bar/tubing going all the way around the trim/edges to support it so it doesn't bow. The trim is about 1 1/4 inches wide. So it would be preferable if the brackets were already that size...so I wouldn't have to "rig" anything.

The light itself is wider, but the mounts are about 1" wide.

I would space it down a bit so you can pivot it.
