Hey Mate, just wondering where you ran the wiring harness into the Headlights? I got a free 22" plus wiring harness from 4wd Supercentre, but haven't fitted it as the connectors don't match the headlight, even though it a bloody nightmare to get to it anyway.
Can do it myself probably but don't want to spend a fortune on fitting a free light if its a drama to do.
Any tips will be helpful.

My Stedi light arrived today so I’d like to see a couple of pics of the wiring harness in place as well. I found the blank rubber grommet in the firewall which I will put my UHF aerial and the wire harness for the light bar through but can anyone tell me if there any tips to removing the plastic trim on the inside under the glovebox? A pic of that would be great if not pushing the friendship...

On a side note, my ARB bullbar has a delayed installation due to the fitting kit for the parking sensors not arriving on time. I have to wait another three weeks.
Hopefully the red sensors won’t look to out of place on a black bullbar because I didn’t want a colour coded one.

Oh, where do people put the switch for driving lights/bars?

I mounted the switch for driving lights and my compressor on the vertical plastic panel down by your right knee.

The tell tale LED's are not annoying and you easily reach them. I used different coloured LED's so I can tell the switches apart.

Cheers

How and where did you run the Stedi wiring harness? I really need to go through the firewall on the drivers side due to the length of the cable with the switch.
Does everyone take power from the positive/negative poles on the drivers side in the engine bay? Or is there another point on the passenger side, excluding the battery under the seat of course.
Love to see a pic if you went through the drivers side..?

Thanks in advance.

Afraid I cheated and got someone to do this for me. He did run it through the drivers side, though I remember the guy commenting on what a PIA it was to do. I will have a look and see if I can locate the wiring and follow it through to the firewall, And they did take the positive and negative from that side as well.
