Default Santa brought me some presents!




A Manik brush guard and some aux lights. Im pretty happy with the new look. Any idea of how to wire up these aux lights, i was just gonna tap into the low beam power wire but doesn anyone els ehave a better idea?

Really easy, just run the wires from the aux. lights through your grill. One to a positive lead, one to a negative. Run one of them into your truck, (I ran the negative lead into my truck and grounded it there after the switch) add a switch and then connect. Most basic way I can explain it. About taping into the low beam power wires... Seems like that would be an overload on the stock wires. Becides, I'm sure you dont want the aux. lights on everytime your headlights are on. Hope that helps a little.

Truck looks great by the way!

Looks great!

I have to agree with iceflames11 on the aux lighting wiring. I wouldn't suggest wiring them into the low beams... However you end up doing it, make sure you have a fuse in the feed to the lights.

Is there any plastic or rubber between the lights themselves and the grill guard?? If not wouldn't he be grounded already seeing as the guard is bolted to the frame. Just a thought.
