Maverick Grill LED Light Bar…… but in amber.

Hey there any chance of under hood photo and wiring ? I know you said you've been busy hope life is swell
Cheers

Hey! Sorry it took so long. I ended up ordering some 1/4 split loom and some half inch zip tie mounts for the hood and realized that I don’t have any more butt splices. So I can’t hook up the wires. I’ve attached photos below. If you attach to the drivers side headlight, it’ll be the BROWN with light blue stripe. I ran mine on the passenger side which is the LIGHT BLUE with brown stripe. It doesn’t matter which side.

I also didn’t put a fuse in the wire. It’s LED So it barely has and pull. If it burns up the LED eventually, I’ll just replace them. Not a big deal

I have an XL, so no upper running lights like the lariat. I thought about drilling into the headlights, But how they are shaped, it would be hard to get bulbs in there because of how the grille is put in.

I ended up getting amber lights off of Amazon and used 10lb gorilla tape and attached it to the underside of the hood. You’ll notice that it’s about 2 inches in on either side of the hood. That is because the plastic sleeve where the wires attach to the strip doesn’t bend very well. I ran the wires down the hood and back to the passengers headlight. Pretty happy with the result. I’m planning on getting some ditch lights to match.

Love it! Love it! Love it

Am I the only one who thinks it would be illegal with that on while driving? I know it's amber but it sure looks close to being red in the pictures. Isn't there some law reserving red and blue lights for law enforcement/emergency vehicles only?

Blue lights yes.

I think most cars have red lights on them... At least at the back.

Having liked what Bigronron and thyITguy did, here is a hood leading edge in blue LEDs on a VB- XLT. My parts were a little different, but the effect is similar. Parts list are on the .doc files. One each LED string for 1/2 the hood is wired to each headlight so they pull only 0.5 amps each or about 6 watts per circuit. The IP-67-85 spec means the LED string is water proof and suitable for outside use. The strings run on 12vDC so no need for a LED driver. Blue lighting is very subdued in daylight.
