It's a bad idea to have a large draw on the factory wiring... there's enough going on there already for what 16ga?? I don't recall, haven't messed with it in a while... Either way yeah an LED bar should be ok, but a set of fog, floods or offroads could start a meltdown...

o ok

 

Yeah but you'll be fine. Those LEDs don't draw enough current to cause a problem.

 

Check the how to section in lighting. I did some elaborate wiring diagrams.

Just a novice electrician who likes to tinker.

 

I got a LED brake bar that had reverse lights integrated. The brake, left turn, and right turn all wired into the tow harness, but I had to tap into the reverse light to get the reverse on the led bar working. I just taped into it from the rear light and everything works fine no problem. Like other people said, a LED bar should be fine, anything else you would want a dedicated wire running to the battery with a fuse.

 

You got a link? I'll check it out in the morning. Right now my KC's just have wires running from them to a switch, then a wire from the battery to the switch, and a grounding wire.

 

Normally I would always run a Relay. However in my case I was using two small light bars, 5 LED's a piece. They draw almost nothing. So I spliced them directly into the reverse lights. It's been 4 months with no problems. However if it was anything other than LED, such as halogen, or even a large LED light bar such as the one I have on the front of my truck I would run a relay, no doubt. It's a little more work, but well worth it. You can even run a separate switch so that you can power the lights whenever you want. Such as hooking up a trailer, or someone tailgating.

 

I would use a relay, and/or a seperate switch to activate them

 

Is this possible? Anybody know..
