Wiring a KC HiLiTES 50" Titan light bar to your vehicle’s auxiliary switches requires an understanding of the amperage needed for the light bar’s dual functions: the white and amber lights. Proper setup will ensure efficient power distribution while protecting the relay and auxiliary switches.
When wiring the light bar, it’s essential to connect each color (white and amber) to a switch with the correct amperage rating, as using a single 40-amp switch could overload the relay. Here’s how to set it up safely:
Step-by-Step Guide for Wiring
1. Adjust the Yellow Wire
Following Option 2 (6:32) in the installation video linked below, begin by modifying the yellow wire in the light bar setup. This adjustment allows each light color to be controlled independently.
2. Connect Each Light Color to Its Own Switch
- White Lights (Green Load Wire): Connect the green load wire for the white lights to an auxiliary switch rated between 5 and 30 amps. This setup ensures that the white lights operate without overloading.
- Amber Lights (White Wire): Connect the white wire for the amber lights to a separate auxiliary switch with a 15-amp rating.
With this configuration, each light function draws power through an appropriately rated switch, avoiding the risk of overload. The dual-switch setup also allows flexibility to use amber or white lights independently as needed.
