Just solder them up in parallel as you move forward and seal them with water tight heat shrink wrap...the last junction being soldered to the connector then plug in...these lights draw so little amp that I used the lowest output of the 6 shooter...
Oh damn. Maybe I should just do the already put together set up lmao I am not good with electrical crap. At all

:LOL: fair enough!

Im looking into possibly doing a different route on my lights. I have had the KC cyclones before. Loved them. But they have gotten very expensive compared to 5 years ago.

So im thinking of just buying 4 of them individually and then buying a 4 lead harness to run them. Does anyone have any recommendations of what type of harness to get? I figured a simple DIY would be easy enough but then again maybe its not haha

If you want multi color, get RGBW. It also gives you a pure white LED. Regular RGB will not give you white, instead a pinkish/blue white.

I’m in the market for regular white rock lights myself

Glad to help. A few friends bought just RGB and expected pure white when off roading or crawling at night. Let’s just say, they have pink rock lights. Lol.

So these are too small foe the trigger pigtails lol any idea of what size we need for that device?
The connectors are not compatible so I had to cut and solder correct ones that Trigger use...don't know the name of these type...I prefer Deutsche when ever possible but in Trigger's case the lead that comes out of the unit is not that type...

Pretty decent for $8/light. If you want super bright then you need the buy the $30/each type.
