This guide will show you how to install an LED light bar in your car as quickly and easily as possible, making it ideal for novices.
Equipment and Supplies You'll Need
Prior to beginning, collect these necessities:
- Auxbeam LED Light Bar: Select the appropriate size for your car.
- Relay and switch wiring harness
- Wrenches and screwdrivers
- Zip ties or mounting brackets
- Drill (if required for custom mounting)
- Electrical tape & wire connectors
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Select the Proper Mounting Site
LED light bars are usually mounted on the following:
- Roof racks (for off-road vehicles);
- Bull bars or nudge bars (for SUVs & Off Road Cars);
- Front bumpers or grilles (most common).
Make sure the light bar doesn't block your turn signals, license plate, or headlights.
Step 2: Fasten the Light Bar
- Mount the Auxbeam LED light bar using the brackets that come with it.
- To avoid vibrations when driving, tighten all of the screws.
- Make sure a roof-mounted light bar is properly sealed and waterproof.
Step 3: Attach the wiring harness
- Find the battery. The positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are directly connected to the relay.
- Route the cables to avoid hot spots or moving parts. (For neat cable management, use zip ties.)
- Attach the switch and position it inside the cabin for convenient access (often near the steering wheel or on the dashboard).
Step 4: Check the Light Bar
Make sure there are no loose or visible wires before completing the installation.
- Turn on your car's ignition.
- Flip the switch to see if the LED light bar turns on.
Step 5: Last-Minute Modifications
- To prevent blinding other drivers, turn the light bar slightly downward.
- For added security, secure all wires with conduit or electrical tape.
Expert Advice for Optimal Results
- Use a fuse to prevent short circuits in your vehicle's electrical system.
- Waterproof connections are especially important in rainy or off-road situations.
