Off road lights - what's everyone running?

[Shibbyjeep]

I'm running Auxbeam 5in V-Ultra on the bumper and Quadratec interior mount 50" light bar.

I have lights that have mains and marker lights. They also came with an on/off/on rocker. I just used two aux switches. It’s just so easy to wire to them under the hood. No wires into the cab makes me smile.

I never thought about that. It is possible. I looked at the wiring diagram.You’d just wire two of the wires to one and two to another switch. Thank you for the idea. I might do that. I’m only using one for my aux back up lights and I would have had two left over if I only used one of the wires. My winch goes to the battery via a cut off switch under the hood.

How did you mount those bumper lights? TIA

On my front lights, the vendor harness had one negative/ground wire and two positive wires. I ran the ground to the battery, and the two positives to two aux switches wires under the hood. I cut the vendor harness and it saved a ton of wiring. Yes, you use two switches, but I can turn both on at the same time if needed for short periods of time.

I mounted them via one of the bolts in the top of the factory steel bumper. More than likely going to move them to the front but need to remove/get a different bar for the bumper as they won't fit with the Mopar bar I have on there.

I do have the aux switches. I thought I said that. Just fixed it. Lol. I plan to wire to the aux switches, but the rocker switch is to change between flood and spot lights. Inside the center console might work. I’d need to figure out a bracket.

I have roadshock 4s that have hi, low and markers

The marker lights I have tapped to the running lights

The highs and lows are connected to a 5 pin relay and connect to an aux switch. Off the relay, I have the high beams triggered by the vehicle high beam ciruit.

Headlights off, aux switch off= no lights

Running lights on, aux switch off =no offroad lights but marker lights on

Vehicle Low beams on, aux switch off= no offroad lights

Vehicle low beams on, aux switch on=offroad low beams on

Vehicle high beams on, aux switch on=offroad high beams on

Vehicle high beams on, aux switch off=offroad high beams off

This I love. Impressive work, and attention to detail.

I have ni-lights amber on the side of the hood and a simple white bar in front. Lot's of light for just about anything you would need it for...

Nice work! I have no idea how to do this. lol I ordered a bracket to hide the rocker switch out of sight for if I ever do want to switch to the spot lights. Otherwise, it’ll stay on flood and be powered on and off with one of my Aux switches.

I have the same light mounts for my Ni-lights.

Wondering what everyone is running for offroad lights on their JT's

Hit the l.e.d. lighting Jackpot today in the Walmart clearance isle while buying some groceries.

Wow. For sub $30 it's definitely worth giving them a go!

I never followed up with this. I got the 6” roadshock edge from harbor freight. I had a $130 credit and they were on sale. Their performance is great and it has a nice wiring harness so even if they crap out, I’ll just re-use the wiring. I hid the flood/spot rocker under the dash, but easily reachable. I’m very happy with the results.
