I have been searching but unable to find my answer so I thought I ask and get other peoples install idea and thoughts.

I ordered a basic rock light set and have a question on the way to wire it. They are just solid green lights and are not rgb so they don’t have a controller light box to wire back to. Just a positive and negative wire at the end of each light The lights will be hooked up to an aftermarket aux switch set up. So when I wire the lights I am thinking about three different install options.

1. run the lights through a parallel install around the bottom of the jeep. Doing each connection with a heat shrink butt connector and continuing on until all six are wired.

2. Run each light on its own and to a positive and negative bus bar. This way if I have an issue with one light I only have to rerun one wire to fix the problem. Then the bus bar would go to the control box for the aux switches

3. Same setup as two but with a fused block by Blue Seas. I know the aux switch box is fused but should I run a fuse for each light?

Just looking to see how other people ran their own setup.

Thanks in advance

I would run a main down each side and pull off each light, so you have two mains. Your call on whether to run mains back to ground or just frame ground at each location.

I ran homeruns for each of my cyclones and you end up with a huge mess at the head end.

Assuming LEDs, you should be fine with the fusing that comes with your switch pod
