Driving lights has made driving at night a whole lot safer because of how they
boost the illumination capabilities of your vehicle thus keeping your forward
and peripheral view clearer than ever. Extra set of lights that can be turned
on by igniting the high beams of your vehicle will definitely improve your
vision, which is especially handy for rough terrains.
Identify the Right Driving Lights For You to Install
There are so
many types and brands out there in the market and it can get overwhelming which
LED driving lights to get. Just identify
which will be able to suit your needs the most. If you got your lights ready on
hand, then let’s get down to the business of installing it. Here are some steps
you can keep in mind as you attach your brand new lights to your vehicle:
Step No. 1: Locate
where to put the switch on your dashboard. This switch will be the igniting key
of your light bars when you put your car into high beam, so you need to find
the right location where you can access it easily. Majority of vehicles have a
pop out kind of compartment for ancillary switches, so if you can’t find one
you might have to drill one out yourself.
Step No. 2:
Get the relay mounted in the vehicle’s engine bay at a spot closest to the
battery as possible. It is important to avoid engine hot spots in order for it
not to be overheated. If there are pre-existing holes you can mount the relay
on better, if not you have to drill it.
Step No. 3:
Get the wiring right. Before anything else, you must file off any paint, rust
or grit from the chassis then run the ground wire from the relay to it. Then
run the wire from one terminal on the dashboard switch through the firewall and
then to the high-beam wire on the headlamp of your vehicle. Join the two with
the use of a T-piece connector. Next you should run the appropriately coloured
wire out of the relay through the firewall and on to the dashboard switch, then
you run the wire from the relay to the driving lights. Lastly, run the battery
wire from the relay to the battery with a fuse in between.
Step No. 4:
Test the LED light bars if it works on high beam mode and make adjustments when
needed. Tip: Do this at night so that you can gauge the appropriate position of
the lights for ultimate visibility.
That is how
you install a light bar for your vehicle’s headlights.
Enhancing your vision during at night is vital to the safety of you and your
family, which is why it is best to opt for getting this kind of lighting
solution for your vehicle.
