Has anyone installed the 6 cyclone rock light kit to an SPOD? For some reason all the individual wires for each light to the KC fuse block is confusing.
Can I just run the red wire direct from the fuse block to my SPOD

Thanks
Correct. All of the +'s from each light to the fuse box, all of the -'s from the lights to the little floating ground peg they provide and then the single + from the fuse box to your SPOD

Thanks! That is what I thought but I am no electric specialist by any means.

Does anyone know if the Gravity light bar works with any of the snorkle kits out? I am looking at the ARB in particular.

inca4x4 on Instagram has the Pro6 bar and the Mopar snorkle. I haven't seen anyone with the ARB yet. I'll look around though.

Just bought the 28" MFC Chase LED Lightbar and the 10" Flex light bar for the front bumper/winch.

Question for those that installed the chase lightbar in the rear. How does the wiring work to make the multifunction work? Is it once you wire it a certain way it will only work with that particular function? Or can we change the function of the lights without having to re-wire them.

I don't have the chase bar or ever wired one up. My buddy John @WTFSoCal has one. I'll ask him to respond.

OK, so the red and black wires will basically go to an always-on source like an SPOD or direct to your battery. all the rest of the wires are "triggers" and only require 12v+ to activate. works much like an spod where you have a main power input, and depending on what you choose, it sends from that input to the desired switched component. So im guessing you are referring to the Amber lights as the multifunction lights... the green wire will turn them on Solid amber... the brown wire with make then flash in a "wig wag" pattern...

Here is a cut and paste from the install instructions...
In order to achieve the desired pre-programmed functions of this LED light bar, please note the Wire Color / Function list below...
Red: 12V (+)
Power Black: (-) Ground
White: White Lights (Center both) 12V (+)
Green: Amber Lights (both)12V (+)
Blue: Right Red Brake (outer) 12V (+)
Yellow: Left Red Brake (outer) 12V (+)
Gray: Dim Red Tail (both outer) 12V (+)
Brown: Flashing Amber (both) 12V (+);
Note: if Brown and Green wires are both connected to 12V (+) and powered on at the same time, Green function will override Brown.

Hope this helps

IN addition to that info, ill add that the reason the way these lights work like they do, you can use your existing car wiring to trigger a light on the chase light... tap into your reverse lights, and connect it to the center white, now you have a 3rd reverse light... tap into your brake light, now you have even more brake lights, its a pretty slick setup. you could even tap each of your blinkers and run them to each of the corresponding outside red lights... i wasnt that ambitious...
I use the fenix 6 switch to control the amber (flash on one switch, solid on another) and the dim red's on a 3rd...
OK, let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks a lot John!

It helps a lot. So if I want to have both the brake light activating while braking and the blinkers, then I need to wire the blue, yellow, and gray wire?

Also, would it be possible to have the two whites to be operated at will via switch and also as reverse light?

So you can use the yellow and blue as your blinkers and the grey as the brakes.
as far as getting the reverse lights to work as reverse lights and independently from a switch, it is possible but more complicated. you will need to put a couple of diodes on each of the lines to the light to keep one or the other power source from affecting the other.
the diodes will keep your reverse lights on your car from coming on, if you used the switch to enable the lights on the bar... the diodes keep power from flowing back the other direction...
clear as mud, right?

the way the circuit would look is this...
switch-----diode------kc chase light (whitelights)-----diode-------reverse lights power
