Show Me Your Ditch Light Wiring

Working on wiring up my ditch lights. Currently brackets and lights are bolted up and my Trigger Six Shooter is installed. Now I am trying to figure out the best way to route my lights wires across the firewall to the Six Shooter. Also looking at the best way to route the wire along the hood hinge.

Anyone with some photos or recommendations from their installs they can share?

 

I don't know how different the hoods are between 2nd and 2.5 gen but here's how I did mine. On the drivers side is power for my ditch lights, the light bar in the grill, and the engine bay lights all run to my relay system on top the fuse box just like yours. on the passenger side, I ran the wire for my front grille camera because I was getting some insane noise and feedback with the camera run along the power wires for my light bar. all the wires I fished through the internal structure of the hood to keep it looking pretty clean. I don't know how much that helps you but hopefully it does.

 

This is how I did mine as well.

 

Not the prettiest but functional. I have several wires that run across the top of my firewall so I put loom to keep things neat and less "straggly". My switch is a cheap one but gives my lights 10 different strobe patterns so I can use them as emergency flashers should the opportunity call for it.

 

Exactly how mine is routed as well.

 

First photo was when I installed the ditch lights, ran wire through firewall and had a dedicated switch.

Second photo isn’t as clear to see how I ran my wires, but no more relays since I installed my Auxbeam switch panel. Hood bulge light bar, ditch lights, and lower bumper light bar are all ran into my terminal.

Could get a better photo tomorrow.

 

No wiring help here, just curious about the Trigger system. How do you like the Trigger system? I’m thinking that’s the route I wanna go.

 

can you elaborate on your inspection sticker?

 

Sure can.

 

Haven’t really used it yet. These lights will be the first items connected. Sir far the app has been good and actual install was easy.

 

Thanks for the ideas all. Install is complete!

I dropped the felt firewall thing and used gaffer tape to hold the wiring along the top of the firewall and then reinstalled the felt trim piece. Excess wire was zip tied near the battery for future adjustments.

First time I have ever done wiring like this but with the shrinking crimp connectors and some additional shrink tubing is was pretty easy.
