Well, I took some time to route the #16 gauge copper hook up wire inside a wire loom and soldered all the connections to the lights. Then before putting them in the wire loom, I heat shrunk and then taped the connections as well. I know #16 gauge copper wire is a bit overkill for the light current draw, however I usually overdo things in the name of safety. Then I put in self adhesive ty-rap holders on the truck and then ty-rapped the wire loom to them. I also had some rubber bolt covers and put them over the 4 hood securing nuts so it they hit the wires, the nuts will never scratch/cut the wires. Then I ran the power wires to the Tremor's wire connections behind the driver's side headlight for the upfitter switches. I now have the lower LEDs in the bumper on upfitter switches 5&6. The ditch lights are on upfitter switches 3&4. That leaves upfitter switches 1&2 open at this point. I could of used just 1 upfitter switch per set of LED lights, however I have each LED on a separate upfitter switch. This info is just to give anyone hooking lights like this an idea on how I did my wiring on my Tremor. I saw a YouTube video on hooking up LED light wires on ditch lights and they in my opinion were not installed properly. Not in a wire loom and just hanging loose, and felt that they were not really installed in a secure & safe manner. Again, just my way to wire them up. There probably are more ways and better ways to do this, however I think this will work, for me anyway! Pics below:
