Installed Rough Country 20inch light bar + 3 inch wide angle ditch lights (w/video)

[TallDude]

Got around to installing my RC 20inch single row light bar and 3inch wide angle ditch lights.
Really straightforward.
Couldn’t be happier for the price, fit/finish of all products.
Purchased off Amazon:

-Light bar for $150 (Rough Country 20" Black Series Single Row CREE LED Light Bar - 70720BL https://a.co/d/fKtwXmj)

-Ditch lights for $150 (Rough Country 3" LED Wide Angle Ditch Light Kit - 70904 https://a.co/d/5liQ4zt)

I have that exact winch mount and light bar i was just wondering if you wired the 20in bar to the upfitter switches and if so what part of the wiring harness did you cut and wire where?

Great question! So I wired it to the AUX switch as a trigger wire. I followed their instructions to do that here (starting page 11): https://s3.amazonaws.com/roughcountry/install/921510660.pdf

So I kept their whole harness and wired positive and negative to the battery. I didn’t mind and gave me peace of mind I guess.

But I did wire some of their smaller lights directly to the aux switch. I just cut the harness at the relay for the positive/negative that run to the light connectors and then you’d take the reds (positive) and connect them to the aux switch (choose one that supports the accessory with the right amperage) and then the black you ground somewhere in the engine bay/on the body and tadaa. Super easy!

Sorry to dredge up an older post, but did you use the plastic spacer with the ditch lights? I find it doesn't fasten securely and tends to move side to side too easily.
