Thanks!That is clean! Extremely well done!

This is what they recommends for the bison Rear Bumper, which I’m guessing has similar clearance to the Ram bumper. I think it’s Baja designs that are in their green promo truckYeah i was thinking it was going to be plug and play when i ordered them, my first attempt i gave up and sat on the install for 4 months. Im curious what AEV uses/recommends? I should have checked but I really wanted the back light functionality.
The backlight I would say is on par with the running lights, not on full brake brightness. I was hoping it would be a little brighter. Recently my family and I were caught driving in monsoon rain in AZ were visibility was so bad, and was hoping to utilize the backlight as extra warning/precaution, its what prompted me to get off my butt and install it.
Appreciate the kind words! I was hoping to have more done on the truck, but i got sucked into another car build. Now that its basically wrapped up, im back to truck modding!I wish one could give an entire thread a like because this one deserves it.
Fishnerd can chime in with what he uses, but I picked up an Epson Lableworks LW-PX350. You will also have to get some tubing tape to match your wiring needs. The AWG 10-20 tapes work well for most of the wiring sizes we use in modifying these trucks.I’m prepping to do my switch pros install and have decided to buy a wire label maker. Which one are you guys using?
If you already have a labelmaker chances are good they also make shrink tube label cartridges too.I’m prepping to do my switch pros install and have decided to buy a wire label maker. Which one are you guys using?
o thanks for the info which fuse did you use for the lights?no worries... I wanted to do the same. I took the top off but I could not figure out which fuse goes with which wire underneath so for now, I used two fuse taps. If I can ever get hold of a wiring diagram I would prefer to properly and permanently splice into the harness.
I made the fuse taps as clean as I could. The wires exit through a small grommet by the positive stud, then under the distribution center where they connect to the switchpros.

the lights are activated via the switchpros. The switchpro is tied to the 12v dash cig socket (used the switched leg vs the constant).Hell

In the main fuse panel in the engine compartment the fuse for the cig socket (cant remember the number off the top of my head) is two position, you just move the fuse over (it has 3 slots vs 2)Wondering how you switch the cig socket from constant to switched. Looks like you have already done this in your truck.
Oh sorry about that, i used the clearance light fuse.Thanks again. I think I confused you with my question. I was wondering with fuse did you use for the white wire (lights) for the back lighting? Thanks again.
