Wiring LED BAR - looking for a positive post

[Pat-Ard]

Hey folks,

I‘ll start wiring up my Strands LED-bar. It comes with a day light driving light, which needs a seperate positive connection. The regular positive and negative connection will be realized over the EXT 5.
Does anyone in this community can give a small hint, where to find a positive post under the hood?

Thanks…

Could you attach it to the jump post?

Yes, I‘ll try this. Look`s like there is a mounting post.

The jump post is always live. You want something that is ignition switched, otherwise the DRLs will be on all of the time.
Maybe you could tap into the existing drl wiring, I don't know it is canbus or not. Maybe somebody will know.

Actually saying that, some clever ones react on voltage, so I might be wrong.

If they see 12v they don't turn on, if they see over 13v they turn on as the engine is running. It might mention that in the installation instructions.
