Hella Light Wiring

yes,i bought the wilderness light brackets the same time i bought the rack.i got 2 lights in the back as well for work lights.all my extra lights,but the warn backup set are Hella

i found those mounts for $20 each. I'm probably going to mounts the lights the same way you have them just because the way the rack sits the lights look too high if you mount them as 4 normally and too low if you mount them as 4 inverted.

What snokel is that?

I like the prefilter lool but I think I like the look of the mantec better. I guess I have never been crazy about that big piece of plastic sticking out of my fender. Who knows when I will get around to doing this..

Thats true, I guess I'll do it next week then.. (this goes a long with Eds and Lexi's joke about how I have done everything to my truck in a matter of like 3 months

sounds like me,it goes in spurts fro me.i did the snorkel,roofrack and swampers in a couple weeks.
then it was the dual batteries and bluesea fuse panel and communications on the dash.then the bumpers and winch,then a long lull in the action. then all the lighting done.then this past winter was the lift and lockers,power tank and fire extinguisher then the HD steering in April. now i'm waiting on money to finish the rear suspension off.and i still need protection too

Yes I went winch bumper and protection first. The way I drive I need it. Just started saving for lockers and snokel and Rte tie/track rods.

These finally work lol ground them to rack and used the stock lr fog light switch for all 4 for now.

Engine is toast from ROTR the video is on random bs under funniest video ever or something like that. New engine and snorkel on the way

nice thread guys. got Hella 500 black magic lights for christmas. took me all of 5 minutes to throw them up on the rack but the wiring was intimidating but wanted to try and tackle before i head off to work on Tuesday. This was really helpful. Going to wire into my front fog light switch and see how that goes.
