Electrical Tie In For LED Bar

Csmall · 04-27-2025, 02:45 PM

Hello All,
Can anyone recommend a convenient place to tap into a 12VDC source that switched with the ignition for the LED light bar I have placed behind the aluminum billet grill? There is an inline fuse so it is protected, just need a suggested wire that is accessible and easy to tap into. Thanks!

IPDM box next to the battery

Yes, I am aware of that fuse block. I see several potential candidates. I can test to see which are switchable, but all of the wires are below the fuse block and not easily accessible. I was hoping some one would recommend a wire/location that fits that bill vs a generic recommendations. Any additional suggestions? Thanks

Then use the fuse box on the drivers side kick panel.

This. Run the wire through the rubber grommet in the firewall next to the battery ... then run the wire to the fuse box located in the driver's side footwell. Install an add-a-circuit (rated for the amperage of the light bar) and tap into the cigarette lighter circuit (... I think it's a switched circuit ... if not, tap into one of the switched circuits listed on the fuse box cover). Trust this helps.
