Our DIY Ditch Light Harness kit comes with everything you need to get your ditch lights wired to last. Why spend the money on quality lights just to plug them into the cheap PVC-lined harnesses that come with them? We ditch the water-holding PVC and opt for TechFlex branded American-made braided sheathing wrapped around 100% American-made wires, capped off with TE connectivity terminals and splices.
With a few simple tools, this harness couldn't be easier to build or install.

I have watched many videos on trying to build your own harness with water tight connectors. You are the only one I've seen that actually show this much detail on every step. You just gained another follower and customer.. Great video!!! Thank you

Awesome work, if you offset the wire length so the splices are at different lengths you’ll have a more streamlined cable. Awesome job thanks for sharing all the equipment and products. I got those Klein cutters from your link.

Loving these series, thanks for sharing your craft. Many companies don't want to let their "secrets" out which is a bummer for guys like me who really want to get better at wiring for their own betterment but also can't put down the coin for someone to do it for them. Definitely need the tools you recommend, ones I have are ending up make me do the work twice because they're subpar!

I've realized that I unfortunately can't wire every truck in the country and I want everyone to have quality wiring that will last the life of the vehicle without failing on them. Many times our lives truly depend on these vehicles. The best way you can help me out to make this series worth it is by using those Amazon affiliate links! And quality tools are a must!

Really appreciate this DIY series! I picked up tools from your affiliate links. Do you have links for which sheathing, wires, and terminals/splices you're using?

We use Techflex branded sheathing! The USA made stuff is far better than other options on the market.

Did you discontinue the DIY kits? I don't see them as an option now (April 2024).

@BlazeOffRoad 3 ай бұрын

Yes sir we sure did, the proper tools are a few hundred dollars and most people are not willing to buy them, so for a while we made custom cables for customers, and now we just make the cables specific to our kits!

@PeterBoyes76 3 ай бұрын

@@BlazeOffRoad bummer, I bought all the tools. I've bought pre made kits from you in the past (including last week!), but it is nice to be able to make up a cable when I need it.

@BlazeOffRoad 3 ай бұрын

@@PeterBoyes76 The support is very much appreciated! If you ever need custom cables made up, or want a DIY kit, with you being an existing customer I am sure we could work it out. Just shoot us an email when you need some of that! Sales@blazeoffroad.com. Thank you for the support!

Taiwan is not China.

What are you refering to?

@m.r2511 2 ай бұрын

@4:40, I believe @user… was saying Taiwan is not China. I guess it depends on who you believe. Pre 1942 CCP or post 1949 PRC. It’s really irrelevant because you were referencing build quality of a tool. Nice informative video content. Keep sharing.
