Wiring Instructions

The following instructions are for Toyota 4Runners with an Auxiliary Switch Bank. If you do not have the Auxiliary Switch Bank, use the included toggle switch adapter wire to route a switch. All power sources must be fused.

Step 5 - Mount Relay.

Determine a suitable location to mount the relay (A), near the battery or main power terminal.

Step 6 - Connect Power.

Connect the red power input wire (V) to the positive battery/power terminal. Connect the black ground wire to the negative battery terminal or a factory grounding point (G).

Step 7 - Connect Switch.

At the white connector, unplug the switch wires from the harness, and connect the extra pigtail here instead. Using the butt connector at the end of the pigtail, crimp the yellow wire to an OEM Auxiliary Switch wire lead (AUX).

NOTE: Power will be drawn from the battery, so any OEM Auxiliary Switch wires can be used, regardless of amperage rating.

Step 8 - Route Wiring.

Route the output wire(s) to the LED light bar(s), avoiding any moving parts or direct contact with heat sources. Plug the output connector(s) into the LED light bar(s).

Step 9 - Test Function.

Test to confirm the LED light bars are turning on. Aim your LED light bars. Please check your local laws and regulations for aiming, installation, and applicability.
