Today i installed my scene ligths and chase lights to get better vision of the trail, last time i was out that was the biggest struggle of my run, i cant see from the back and on the side of my truck. I went ahead and bought a respectable amazon pod lights from AKD lightings, if im gonna put it into perspective, it feels like running a baja designs light but for $35 each light, comes with all the hardwares (no wiring harness but its pretty easy to get one) installation was not easy but everything is running smooth and all the wirings are tucked in neatly.

Thank you for checking out my ranger
Happy trails!!!

Nice. Definitely on my to do list. Is your chase light wired to your headlights?
I also need better backup lighting. That's coming shortly...

Hey man, no i installed a switchpro first and route the chase light and scene lights there, makes it a lot easier, no tapping or cutting wires, well there is a little. Highly suggest to get a switch pro

Any strobe module for the rear chase lights? Looks great. Anyone that off-roads frequently should have chase lights. It’s so much safer. I run a xprite light bar on mine, so do most of the other CO guys I ride with.

Hey andy! Yes there is a strobe pattern if you have a switch pro you can change the settings through your phone app and make the pattern however you want. Nice build as well!

Nice I just ordered an xprite 30" led bar for the bed cage since the main hoop covers my 3rd brake light. Did you tap in the taillight harness and can you post some pics? I've done some fab work but I am in last place when it comes to electrical wiring.

OP - I like the look of the system you've setup for lighting. Do you have a link to the side lights you used? I have the Xprite chase light like @AndyMedic (mine has 6 pods and his only has 5, so... clearly I am winning) but have been looking at flood lights for the side for camping.

I just went through your build thread and didn't see anything on the xprite light bar. Did you tap into the taillight harness? If so, how do you know which wires to tap into? Like for braking and reverse. Thanks.
Also, right after ordering the 30" bar with 5 lights, I saw the 36" bar with 6 lights lol dang it

Thanks for reminding me to update that... hahaha

I tapped in for the brake and reverse lights. I did not do the turn signals (though Andy did). I actually found the wiring diagram on this forum. I will see if I can locate it again.

I have halogen lights in the rear so my wiring was different.
