    Lightbar Harness

    Ive actually never ran that harnest cause I used an auxilary fuse panel where only one ground, one hot, and one wire per lightbar goes into cab. So many wires using a complete harnest unless your running just one or two bars total. But three bars would be 9 wires.

    Looks like they ran 2 lightbars off the 4 wires. Now as far as switch.
