After delating rear seats and replacing new audio system in my car it was time for another projects installing some off-road roof lights
Plan was to use 2or 3 round rally type spotlights in the bumper of my bronco but with factory skinny narrow bumper it was impassible to dit the lights i like to use. Even with bull bar it was impassable to fit big 7” chunky round lights , so I went up on the roof and took advantage of the Prinsu cross bars where I individually mounted each light
It worked perfect
I ordered very good brand with great reviews Auxobeam 360 Pro 7” round lights
They are heavy build with very nice heavy duty brackets
Auxobeam bern in the hard business fir like 20 year and well established from trucking , car and offroad applications.
next was the tricky point how to run and wire lights together especially
Since I had to drill small hole in the roof ( standard for mounting roof lights ) and send them down to 6 gang switchbox
I drilled small hole than individual light positive wire ( total of 4 ) were solder to single wire and send down trough the hole to the switch #1 with 30 A fuse
My 4 lights are exactly pulling 30 Amps ( 15 per pair ) so that was perfect fit !
than in glovebox there were 2 wires needed to be solder and shrink wrapped and one by the fuse box in engine bay.
After finishing all wiring and using zip-ties to get all the wires in place i wired to get dark to test lights.
I was totally blown away with power of these lights
You can see photos I will post some videos
These lights are awesome for off-roading , overlanding as such
Help you see long ways
Price was amazing too Normally 2 360 pros 7” are about 270$ but i found 4 for 340$ very happy with performance and purchase it was decent project to get all right but Ford bronco made easy wiring with 6 different wire points wire ready you got to love it !

I forgot to mention I was going to wire ground wire from all 4 roof lights to good ground in the engine area but it was impassable to run the wire down the windshield and than under the hood
So what i did was i solder all 4 negative wires to single one with good lug and mounted right where roof rack is mounted to the roof I found the bolt offered good ground there where I drilled hole for the power wire. My lights came with 2 relays and 2 power switches but again , it would be impassable to run 8 thick wires plus their jackets down trough the roof , so i ditched all relays and switches.

Great info Les, did your Bronco have the AUX switches? And did you look for the accessory wire at the visor wire bundle? I don't have the AUX switches but I am hoping that wire is still there and then I just need to locate the other end in the engine bay and wire in to the Trigger controller
