Chase Light Install

[FlyersFan76]

I tried searching but can't find what I am looking.

I have the time to finally install my chase lights to the drivers (left) side interior switch wiring. Do I need all of the components that comes with the Baja lights?

Do I clip the brass rings and connect to the truck wires and find a place to hide the relay, fuse, etc? Or run straight wires since the truck already has a fuse for that switch?

If I use all of these wires what do I do with the plugged switch wire since the truck has the switch already?

And here I thought the front off road light mod was going to be harder. lol

If you're going to a roof outlet for these, skip the relay and fuse holder that comes with the Baja harness

I successfully used the switched roof outlets to power a pair of rear-facing Baja Design S2 lights. I also discovered that use of yellow lenses gives drivers viewing from behind the false impression that the lights are those of an oncoming vehicle. For that reason I have changed the lenses to red, for Chase Light/Fog Light use.

Nope just the drivers side footwell wire. But using the ceiling switch so I figured that would be a similar set up as the roof outlets.

Makes sense. I am only going to use them for reversing as needed so I won't be complicating it with connecting to the backup wire. Didn't even both with that for my wolf camera.

Ahh yes, same same... you can skip the relay and inline fuse, just run the + and - to the wires in the footwell

We use amber for chase lights.
