By the shadows, we are looking at a real Sasquatch!

Isn't the auxiliary wiring already fused?
What size wires would you run? There's very little amperage with the LEDs, right?

That power stud scares be too. And the nicked wires. Laying on metal.

That wire where the arrow is pointing is really concerning. When that rubs through, you'll be having a meltdown. There should be heat shrink covering those.

Use these. I've made relay panels in the past out of them and on my daughters powerwheels I've used them (yes, I put lots of Baja Designs lights on my daughters power wheels)

Do you mean these ones? https://www.amazon.com/Positions-Te...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

They have a nice cover and jumpers.

You want something with a cover so that nothing can fall on the positive leads

That one has a cover. Just not shown in that photo.

There ya go. Mount them to a piece of metal and bolt the metal in the engine bay somewhere.

interesting, but those giant shadows kind of defeat the purpose IMO. Maybe something mounted directly to the flares, could even be an LED strip of some sort, don't need stadium lighting to see rocks in the dark.
Thanks for sharing, but I also have to agree with 4x4truck here, you need to make the wiring much safer, and why are is the insulation on several of the wires broken? Did you accidentally cut through or is the wire of such bad quality that the insulation just cracks?

They look like cuts from trimming the wire cover back.

What size or type screws/bolts did you use on the rear and type on front? Did you go threw metal?

I just did white rigid rock lights, used self tappers first and then came back with some black metal screws for a cleaner look.

I like the idea of these lights. Especially if doing on trail repairs or uses the front wheel cameras at night to aid in navigation.

They look nice, but for half the price, minus install, could have gotten 8 rgbw rock lights or as with my old truck, 12

My dealership installed the rigids before I picked her up. Seems like they're mounted in different places then yours?

Typically they are put in the wheel wells, but like anything else in life you can put them anywhere you see fit, or prefer the look of.

I mounted mine on the flares.
