Default Secrets to wireing up bullbar blinkers

Tried to wire up my blinkers on my ARB bullbar this arvo....

Yeah I couldn't find where to wire them to as all the looms disappear behind the radiator etc.
I thought about wiring inline with the normal blinkers but fading light gave me pause so I thought I'd ask on here is there are any secrets or neat tricks to get them plugged in a wired up easily.

Cheers

I Spliced into the wires where they go into the blinkers / parklights.
Suggest you use inline plugs rather than running wires straight to the bullbar lights from the vehical lights.
good luck with it

I splice into the most convenient/sensible location.

If a harness junction can not be easily located, I see no reason why not to do as you suggested

labelling new wires is good practice imo

Righto so just wiring them inline should be fine?

Inline plugs are the little clasps with two lines and a set of scissor teeth aren't they?

Also my blinkers have 2 bulbs wired separately, would it make a difference which I connected to?

Your wiring diagram is fine. That"s where I connected mine. Do not use "scotch locks". Those red jobbies. They are not very reliable. The plug Rainman refers to is a plug on the wires going to the bullbar so if you ever remove the bar you can unplug the wires.
