Here, KC HiLiTES will show you step by step how to install our #6308 wiring harness onto your vehicle so that you can easily wire off-road lights. This wiring harness installation guide applies to Jeeps, Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, UTVs, or anything else that you can put off road lights onto. It's pretty simple to do, but can be awfully frightening for those who aren't used to working on electrical systems.

In this video, we used a Jeep Wrangler to demonstrate how to wire off-road lights, and specifically we used our Gravity LED Pro6 lights with amber covers as you see at the end of the video.
For over 50 years, the KC brand has been a symbol of outdoor freedom, adventure, quality, and performance. We take features engineered for off-road racing and design them into unique lighting and adventure products used by those who have a thirst for the paths less traveled. We stand for the outdoor enthusiasts - from off-roaders to hikers to mountain bikers and anyone in-between - because that’s who we are, and we make products to allow us to adventure further.

I REALLLLY need a video showing how to hook up my 20' KC lightbar to my S-Tech switch board. Halllllp

If you’re going to install driving lights you need to connect them to your bright light circuit using a relay so they only work when the bright lights are on. Guess I’ll keep looking for a diy video that’s more than basic “switch on, lights on. I was hoping KC would have done a better job!

I'd be using my AuxBeam switch, are there instructions on how to connect to a switch? Assuming you just remove the relay from the harness & connect directly to the switch?

Can you guys do a video on how to connect 4 lights? Do I need two switches or just two wiring harnesses with obviously two relays going to one switch?

I would also like a answer to this. I am installing 4 KC Apollo Pro 6's on the roof of my jeep. Can I use 1 switch? Also, and suggestions on running the cables to the roof?

@rogercueto 4 жыл бұрын

@@christopherroy7748 you use two harnesses with two relays and run both "turn on" leads from the relays to the switch. You'll have one ground and one source from the battery to the switch which essentially controls both relays.

I hooked my lights up and the illuminated switch stayed lit. Any suggestions?

@alexz7111 3 жыл бұрын

You should go through Junction box, fuse, relay for the switch and if possible through ECU for indication Instrument panel light.

I purchased these lights and already have an S-Pod type system in place. I don't need the provided switch, but I can't find anything that shows or explains how to install without provided switch. In this scenario; If the Yellow is Supply, Red is Load, Black is Earth does that mean...Yellow is Positive, Red is Negative and Black is Ground? I wish I knew more about wiring, but hopefully someone can help? Thank you.

Did you ever figure it out?

@thetrailaheadofus 11 ай бұрын

Ya, I was told to basically tape up or cut the yellow switch wire. For now, I have it taped off, incase I use it in the future. Just ran the power wires. @@28Jcarlo

I installed the Switch Pro on my dashboard and I want to connect the wire with the switches for the lights to the Switch Pro instead. Would I need to clip off the wires with the switch, strip it and crimp a spade onto the end?

Switch wired directly to the battery? lighted switches will stay lit and run battery down without going through an accessory circuit to light the swith on when key is on. Did i miss something?

Should the wires go through the high beam?

@ryanfischer2889 4 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't want to wire the off road light into the high beam. That way if you just want to use your high beams you can. My lights are on a seperate switch. I have am on a subaru outback

3:47 long video, and the only real thing they showed was zip-tieing the wires. These kits are fairly simple to install, but you won't know that from this. Look elsewhere for better instructions.

@marksuperfly8426 3 жыл бұрын

I don need a video showing me to spread out the harness and make connections. I need to to show me where to route the wiring, how to get to the auxiliary switches. Worthless video. Skips the key parts of the install and says presto ! All done, yay us !
