Great videos. Thank you. I was told to always use a relay where the relay’s coil is protected, internally, by a diode or a resistor. The reason, from what I understand, was that when an energized coil is de-energized, there is a magnetic field “collapse” that sends voltage (which can be orders of magnitude greater than the original voltage, albeit the current is milliamps) in the opposite direction to the original voltage direction in the relay. This can, apparently, disrupt voltage-sensitive components (such as a blind spot detection sensor) that are “upstream” from the relay. A relay whose coil is diode (or a resistor) protected prevents this.

I've wired this same 3-position switch in tandem with my highbeams without any issue... until recently. (I used your video years ago. Thank you!) But I swapped out my stock headlights to LED, and now I'm getting a humming noise coming from the lightbar relay when I'm in tandem with my highbeams. After doing some research, it appears installating a capacitor would fix the humming. Are you familiar with this issue of relay humming or the installation of capacitors?

Awesome video, so glad I found it for the same reasons as everyone else. Have subscribed and look forward to checking out your other vids. I want to wire up a switch like this in my car to an LED at the rear of a trailer. Want to be able to power the light independently and also have the option to turn it on when the tail (ignition) lights come on. The LED only draws 1.3A, so I plan to omit the relay. My plan is to connect switched battery + (inline fuse) to 3-way switch terminal 1. I'll tap in to the tail light wire at a point just before the tow vehicle 7-pin plug (car side) and connect to terminal 3. I plan on connecting the spare 12V wire on the car/trailer plug (reverse lights not used) between terminal 2 and the positive on the LED. Couple of questions: Will this work? And is the ground on the LED light the only one I need to earth (to trailer chassis)? Cheers Matt

@RockyXTV 4 жыл бұрын
Yes you can run 2 light bars on this setup as long as your relay is rated to handle the current draw of the 2 lights, or you can use 2 relays. As for the diode, I've done a bunch of testing after making this video and found that the diode is not needed. I hope this answered your question. Thanks for watching!

I have installed the led light bar a few weeks and ever since was wondering if I could use it the way you've shown it the video... As it's convenient for switching on the led light bar on dark country roads rather than the awkwardly placed auxiliary switches in my vehicle.. Great job. Was just wondering what is the rating of the three way switch you've used? And how many wires have you got coming out of the light bar itself, mine seems to have only 2 wires
@RockyXTV 6 жыл бұрын
There are only 2 wires coming out of the light bar, Positive & Negative. The headlight is the one with 3 wires. As for the switch, the one shown in the video is rated for up to 50 Amps. You can use a better looking rocker style switch, you would just need to add another relay like I did in one of my other videos about aux reverse lights. Thanks for watching!

@RockyXTV Жыл бұрын
You would need to find which wire in your harness is the "trigger" or "coil" wire & hook that one to your high beam. This way the relay/light bar is pulling its power from the battery & not your headlight. The trigger/coil wire pulls very little power, just enough to activate the relay, then the relay pulls power from the battery & sends it to the light bar. I hope that makes sense. This is only good if you don't plan on using the switch in your harness. Your light bar harness should still be hooked up to the + & - of your battery. You probably have 3 wires on the switch, one will be power coming into the switch, then power out of the switch going to the relay, then a ground if the switch lights up. You would be looking for the wire that sends power out to the relay, that wire would tap into your headlight.

Haha! LED's= Light Emitting Diode's, so they are similar. A resistor is different all around though. Thanks for watching!

Do i need a 3 way switch for my led spot lights to just work on my high beams ?????
@VandelayyIndustries 5 жыл бұрын
Hey I'm wondering if you can help me out. I have a 2018 ram 3500 with factory aux switches. I got a 30" light bar from rough country and I'm wanting to wire it to my aux switches, but I'm wondering how I go about that. My light bar has a DRL feature or an On feature, so it came with a three way switch and relay. Can I simply just wire it to two of my aux switches or is there more to it than that? Thanks!
@RockyXTV 5 жыл бұрын
Could you send me an email with a link to the lightbar kit you have? This would help me look into the wiring a little better. ( rocky.tvchannel@gmail.com )

In your video you use diode with text annotation diode not required, I just remove diode and tap directly to high beam?
@RockyXTV 7 жыл бұрын
Yes, the diode is rarely needed on a select few new model vehicles. Thank you for watching!

Trying to do a Similar thing hooking up snow plow lights on a truck I want them to switch power from my high and low beam headlights on my truck to the high and low beams on the plow lights , otherwise it will probably burn the wires up because it’s takes to much to run both at the same time any ideas? Thanks

Do you have to buy a relay ? Or is there one in the car alreasy

I wired up a 7-pin illuminated 3-way switch like you showed in the video and my light bar works exactly as it should but I can’t figure out how to make the switch LEDs turn on only when the switch is pressed in their direction. Currently the switch LED for the light bar only position is always on and the LED for the high beams position turns on and off with my high beam selector, regardless of the position of the 3-way switch. Is it possibly to have the switch LEDs turn on only when the switch is pressed? Or is this not possible because we are using the switch opposite of the way it was intended?

Hey buddy, I have a light bar with 18 functions. 3 wires coming out of it but no on off button. I’m trying to get a handle of what type of switch I need, I would like to turn it on / off obviously and I guess another button on the switch to run through the 18 functions. Any guidance would be appreciated if what I mentioned is possible. I don’t mind running a relay and or fuse on the switch, that would actually be fine with me. It’s for my ATV

Can you do this with an always hot bright wire???
@TheMezzy712 5 жыл бұрын
You can use the standard 2 way switch if you only want the light bar to come on at high beam. Otherwise leave the light bar switch in off position for normal high beam for those that don't want to have a 3 way switch and accidentally leave it on and drain your battery. Also wouldn't it be better using the current off the high beam to trigger the coil on the light bar relay? So you can mount the relay close to the light and not have a single line of wire going back to a switch inside the car. Just a thought.

This is great! Can you please help. I'm trying to install a light bar but my car doesn't have either hb3 or h4 plug (newer model car) to connect it to. How do i find high beam wiring to connect to? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

With those most likely being HID you would be dealing with Ballasts and such. If you are not knowledgeable about that type of lighting system I would agree with you about having someone take a look at it for you.

Ok, but how would you do this with an illuminated 3 prong rocker/toggle switch and have the lights in the switch still turn on when clicked to either of the “on” positions?

I have a rigid SR SAE barlight with 5 wires running to the main switch. It's a three way switch. Low,Off and Normal. Any advice on how to wire something like that?
@RockyXTV Жыл бұрын
It would depend on what you would like the light bar to do, and the type of switch. Different manufacturers use different switches and I'm not 100% familiar with the pin numbers on whatever switch Rigid uses now.

i have done this but once my high beams are on the power coming from the lights is just enough to turn the relay on turning on my light bar if i give some revs to get more voltage to come up it will flick on the realy is there a way to up the voltage to near 12v when high beams are on?

How would you add a flashing led to only flash when the light bar is on? I have done this mod but sometimes I forget that the light bar is on!
@RockyXTV 6 жыл бұрын
You could use a lighted switch, you would just have to add some relays. I showed how to do this using this switch because you don't need to use relays (didn't want to make the video any longer by showing how to use relays) I do have another video that might get you pointed in the right direction, thanks for watching! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntCgqMag3pa1qKM.html
