Light bar wiring

[simonm]

I wanna put a light bar on my skid steer but am a bit pap with wiring where would be the best place to splice a new live to? is it a matter of putting a fuse & a switch into a circuit?

Adventure motorbike forums will have solutions.

If you haven't a spare heavy circuit in your fuse box then I would go back to the battery.

Start with an inline fuse, take a heavy wire to one of the switched terminals of a relay then on to your lights from the other switched one. Just use your control switch to energise the relay coil.

Yep make sure you are using a relay as not to melt your switch and obviously use a fuses. I would just take a live off the batt

If you are in any doubt a 4 pin automotive relay diagram will give you the connection info you need.

Honestly look at YouTube. Look up Defender Spotlight wiring or similar. It'll show you earthing, power connection etc. It won't phase you.
