I just installed these lights and bracket on my Promaster it took me about 3 hours with your instructions everything went great, the only thing I probably did different is I added about 2 feet of wire to one of the spot lights because it was short and I really wanted to hide the wires. Me and my wife were laughing like you were when we did the low beams then high beams then the LED Bar light haha!
Awesome! haha. I wish I could add the light bar on my new van but the parking sensors and auto braking safety sensors are in the way. I'll find a work around soon I'm sure.
Install stainless steel bolts with locknuts to make it harder to steal both your lights and the license plates. I installed them on the front and back. The locknut makes it extremely hard for someone to steal your license plate with just a screwdriver.
Been wanting to put light bar and floods on my pro master for awhile, was a little intimidated by the process until your video. Thanks, I will be ordering through your link
We have a Thor Tellaro 20A. I followed the recipe and it turned out great. Super thanks for the detailed description and parts list. wanted to do this for a long time. Cheers.
Thanks for taking the time to post. While every install and equipment is different I always learn something new. The bracket was a sweet find, that's a good bolt on solution.
I appreciate your willingness to help us all do this! I followed the same process as you with slight modifications from your craftsmanship and skill. I hollowed out the fire wall grommet and reused as I passed the cables thru. I also used Wago connectors, they allow disconnecting the wires for changing out headlamps/signal bulbs and then reconnecting the connection, no wire waste or soldering involved.
Install my light bar yesterday and thxs for the tutorial.. the only thing that I did different was I took that plug out drilled a hole in it then fished my wires through it then put in back in..
Thanks for the video! I have had these parts for a year now and never got motivated to do it. You video was very clear and made me want to get in gear and install my lights in a few days. The idea for the hood mounts I like and just ordered some. Should be able to install when the part comes in. Thanks again!
Thanks for the great video those lights are awesome I’ll be looking into it hoping it as easy as I watch your installation keep up your great work I use lot of your videos as I built my PM
Just wanted to thank you for guiding me through the installation of this light. It made it so much easier to know what parts and tools were needed to do it easily. Still not sure if the plate panel will be secure enough but I think I will reinforce it a bit more to insure it doesn’t come away from the bumper.
Awesome video and idea, thanks! I’ll be purchasing the main light bar for sure and will probably end up throwing the smaller floods too, will be sure to purchase from your links.
Thx for the tutorial to install. Amazing difference! However, the light bar is probably not legal for use on public roads as it is blinding for oncoming traffic. These are offroad auxiliary lights.
Just screwing the whole assembly into the plastic outer bumper is not very secure. removing the grill to enable adding bolts with spacers through the steel inner bumper would be much more work but seriously stronger and lasting.
Appreciate this installation and demonstration of the very bright light bar. I think I'll put the bar only on mine. Have you considered or already done external cameras and monitor? I'm putting them on mine for safety awareness when inside for the night.
Very cool! Legally, can you drive with those on? Honestly, I suppose it's more "if a light bar is on in the middle of nowhere but nobody is there to see it, is it really against the law?"
Legally they are for off road use only. You are not allowed to have them turned on for on road use. I use it all the time when there is nobody in sight.
Thanks for the excellent video! I purchased them and installed them myself. By the way I am curious where grounded the relay? I ended up grounding it to the metal next to the battery.
This is against the law in many states. You can have those on the streets even if they are turned off they need to be covered for off road only just wanted people to know but otherwise yeah way cool.
The harness kit that came with it only had a lead that would go to the main light bar and another shorter lead for the smaller light, but not a second set of leads to run to the other light. Do you have to add more wires to go to the second light, or is the link for the harness incorrect?
There are two links there, one for just the light bar and one with the light bar and the flood lights. The kit comes with everything. That's the link i used for mine with the flood lights. Maybe your package didnt include everything and you need to return to amazon?
of course i would never use this on a road with other cars around it's way too bright, this is for a dark road when you are all alone or off road. Yes it's screwed into the plastic
FYI - This lightbar / mountwill not work on Promasters that have front perimeter sensors....... the sensors "see" the lightbar and think you're going to hit something. Bummer as I really wanted this to work.
Oh man that’s a bummer. My new van has the sensors. I’m going to have to figure out a work around for that. I’m going to see if pulling the fuse will work. Bc honestly I can’t stand all the new sensors. If not I’ll have to find a new place to mount it
@@SCP-SAM I have a 22 that has them, my 21 didn’t. I also have options packages on the new one that I didn’t have on the old one so it may or may not only have them if you have the option packages. Not sure

Thanks for sharing 😇
Thanks for the video, the mount and light bar had no instructions included. You were the instructions!!!

Very nice, thank you!
A light bar is good for driving safety on the dirt roads as I have read from other campers. Also great for camp security.

Good idea! Thanks
same here!
Wago connectors? Where do we find these and how easy is the install...any special tools needed? Thnx

Nice work! Thanks....used to live on 30th and Balboa back in the day! Great times!

Thanks for watching, I was shocked how bright these lights are. They are a great addition.
Great! Thanks
Great video! Thanks. I think a shot of the unit on the van would have finished off the video !!
A very good tutorial for installing external lights, in general. Well done and thanks for sharing! Have a great holiday!
Same to you! Thank you
Hey Nathan ! That's a great job !! I'll save the link for that one so I can update my PM next spring with it !! Thanks bud !
Excellent! My name is Ryan fyi :)

@@BuildingVanLife Good idea! Thanks
Definitely look awesome! Very nicely done. I may want to do the same. I have the same model van you have. Thank for the video.
Do it! Thank you
Awesome video and idea, thanks! I’ll be purchasing the main light bar for sure and will probably end up throwing the smaller floods too, will be sure to purchase from your links.
Thanks bud
That looks good, i want one. when i get my van. kidna thinkin the Dodge for reg gas.
Super helpful! Thanks 🙏

@@terryeddington251 I’m pretty sure everyone is aware of that.
excellent lights,on the night
Great video , Thank you
Thanks for the video! Exactly what I want to do.
I’m in Irvine So Cal , can you help me on installation? I’m not a handyman, just bought a 2014 promaster van.
im not really working on other people vans right now sorry
Thanks for the reply 👍
Should have did the hanger trick with the switch wires. Great job though. Hind sight is always 20/20😂

Have you considered or already done external cameras and monitor?
I'm putting them on mine for safety awareness when inside for the night.
I like to encourage intruders. Haha just kidding. No I haven’t really thought about it. Sounds like a good idea though!
Wow!
this setup would last about 3 months. max. in Canada
What about the fog lights? Are they on when the light bar is on?
Definitely a worthy upgrade.
Yes they are
Very cool! Legally, can you drive with those on? Honestly, I suppose it's more "if a light bar is on in the middle of nowhere but nobody is there to see it, is it really against the law?"
Legally they are for off road use only. You are not allowed to have them turned on for on road use. I use it all the time when there is nobody in sight.
Thanks for the great video! Could the light bar mount on the hood and clear the wipers using the floodlight brackets, and allow for opening the hood?
No you wouldn’t be able to open the hood and also the light would Point too high I think
@@BuildingVanLife Thank youfor the quick response. It's always hard when you do not have the item in front of you, really appreciate your insight
Hi there thank you for the video nice job how can I get the same wire you have please help me with the link thank you
thank you, the wire is included in the light kit. Link is in the description
Thanks for the excellent video! I purchased them and installed them myself. By the way I am curious where grounded the relay? I ended up grounding it to the metal next to the battery.
The battery is grounded and you are connecting to that so I think it should be good
Blinding
I don't understand how the tank will fill up from the bottom. Doesn''t the drain from the sink need to be fed into the top of the gray water tank?
Wrong video, but it fills, there will just be water in the pipes below tank inlet. Think of how a p trap works under a sink, it's the same concept.
Were did ya get the little bracket for the flood lights.
All the links are in the description

When is the link to purchase?
Everything you need is in the description of the video
For some reason the links were not showing up yesterday and now they do. Probably the dreaded iPhone update. Thank you very much.
Nice! Do you get flashed at all by oncoming drivers? And is that mounted into plastic only with the bracket?
of course i would never use this on a road with other cars around it's way too bright, this is for a dark road when you are all alone or off road. Yes it's screwed into the plastic
@@BuildingVanLife gotcha. I find often that that's where I want more lighting the most. For a trip to Mexico I may install this too
Where on the battery did you make the connections? Especially if you have a dc-dc battery charger.
Right on the terminal.
FYI - This lightbar / mountwill not work on Promasters that have front perimeter sensors....... the sensors "see" the lightbar and think you're going to hit something. Bummer as I really wanted this to work.

@@BuildingVanLife Guess my son will be getting a new lightbar for Xmas as he has a 2020 Promaster w/out sensors 😃
@@reedmeredith7670 haha very nice
What year did PM add the front sensors?
@@SCP-SAM I have a 22 that has them, my 21 didn’t. I also have options packages on the new one that I didn’t have on the old one so it may or may not only have them if you have the option packages. Not sure
Where do you live? I have a promaster and want to pay someone to do this. I'm currently in New Mexico. Thanks.
I’m in Southern California but I’m not doing install jobs right now for people
What switch did you use?
The switch comes with the kit
How have the self tapping screws held up?
excellent
it is ilegal turn on light bar in the highway or public street.
It would be illegal on public roads. I have used it on back roads with nobody around though.
Is this legal on public roads
of course not
