In this sponsored video, I show you Auxbeam's LED lights. I use the lights as reverse lights to make it easier to plow snow at night during snowstorms. I really like how bright these lights shine on only a 10 volt DC line. Thanks Auxbeam. Thanks everyone for watching!

Nicely done. You can always tell a person who''s done vehicle wiring for some time, as they know to slather up the connections with dielectric grease before heat shrink.
Yes, I'm very particular about how the wiring gets done. I have dealt with other people's faulty wiring more than once, usually on tractors.
My pet peeve is wire nuts in cars.
I think soldering and heat shrink is the only option. Great work. You know the correct way to wire. I have 35 years experience in communications (Cental-Office, or what a laymen would call substations).
I am not sure why they give you such a short wire lead on each light. That is just asking for problems. If they put 6 foot of wire on each light that would prevent 4 extra soldering joints and most likely fit most people's applications.
I know this is a relatively old post, but I'm curious as to why a relay wasn't used?
I've got a set of lights ready to mount on my truck. I'm gonna go wider (closer to the outside) because the main reason is I'm using my side mirrors to back up trailer at night. I'm actually thinking about going to magnetic mounts with quick disconnects as I really don't need the lights at all times. Nice video, I'm gonna watch it again on your hookups, as I am debating whether a relay is needed or not. Thanks ...
Great video. I see some people are using relays at what amp light are they reqired please?
Not a wiring guy, but curious why you didn't have to run a dedicated line to the battery as I see others do?
Recently came across your channel, have enjoyed all the videos I have watched to this point. Especially found this video applicable, you do an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating your processes. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing your skills.
Thanks Old Chief. I'm happy you enjoy the channel and tips. Please take the time to subscribe. I hope to hear from you again in the comments section. Bob
Hey Bob, nice job on the installation especially the wiring. Stay well.
Exact lights I was looking at. Thanks for the video.
They look well made, and you sure did a nice job installing them too.
Thanks I'm pretty happy with the size, the look, and the light, but the install took about about 4 hours (with video):)
I like the video, I have the same set up that I want to put on my 08 Chevy Silverado. I plan to run my hot wires off of the back up hotwire on the trailer harness wondering though can I do the same with the ground wire from the lights can I bring them both back to the ground wire on the trailer harness rather than grounding to the trailer hitch frame or some other available metal.
Great looking lights, nice and bright. The only problem I see is backing into a snow bank and tearing off your lights. Maybe another bracket wrapping around the lights to protect them, don't know, but nice installation.
I didn't think about that, thanks for making me aware of it. I only plow a few driveways locally, so I will be careful. I have about 16" ground clearance though. No need for cages.
The lights look pretty good. Thanks for the tips, like the dielectric grease was a good idea. I like your little power supply setup, that would come in handy.
Yes, the lights came out well. I'm really happy with them. The power supply is handy I use pretty often, I like that it is out of the way and easy to access.
Nice work on the wiring and and nice set of lights. I threw some LED's in my original sockets on my Focus and they worked OK but after some 4 years one is failing. I may get new bulbs for the originals and add a set of these. I guess my question would be whether the stock relay can handle both sets. Not much going on with LED's but it is 36W,; is the 36W for both or one light? Happy New Year!
Cool review and install Bob. Looks like they're well made and nice and bright. Might have to pick up a set of those. Just have to find time to install. Wife and kids don't make it easy. Jon
Yeah, the wife and Kids now that is a commitment. Don't forget always keep you family first then the Jeep. Auxbeam has been marketing on youtube for a while, so you can search and find many Jeep installations. Happy New year. Bob
doublewide6 Happy New Year to you too. Wife and kids always first. My couch isn't very comfortable to sleep on.
Quick question about your power supply you said something about using my computer power supply is that something you built I want to get a power supply and was wondering about yours.great video sir thank you
I would of used the relay from the harness they sent you and used the reverse wire at hitch to energize relay, there should be a power wire at hitch as well to give the relay the 12volts to send to lights
Hi mate so you don't need to wire to get power from the battery? Is this safer way to do it? Ty
@@bocap1980 From Battery to Relay is the best way for sure... Hope this helps.
Good job Bob, have a great new year. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Alright Terry, you do the same. Happy New Year!
Any issues with the Police on this setup? Extra backup lights are a great idea and all, but I would have had a separate switch for those lights. If you just happened to not have a trailer on and you just happened to be backing up in a shopping plaza for example, the police may raise an issue depending on the laws in your particular jurisdiction. A dedicated switch for the lights would allow for the factory backup lights to come on without the extra backup LED lights that you installed.
I would tell the police to worry about a real issue…
Love the lights! Will be ordering a pair.
Sam Garza here yup it was the Needle on the carburetor it's working great now thank you
No problem Sam. Most those carbs have rubber seats that are easy to replace. If it happens again replace the needle and seat and check the float for a leak. Hopefully you got it. Bob
Did you connect the lights together then run a lead to your trailer wires?
Is it possible to take the wire from the stock reverse light and put it into the aftermarket reverse light ive done this once and it worked
Hey when turn the switch with truck off do ur oem reverse turn on?
Great video!
One of my reverse lights stopped working is it just the bulb or the wiring ? Plz help thanks
Couldn’t you just have wired them to a 7 pin connector harness and plug it in to the hitch? I’m trying to figure out how to do this.
What kind of soldering iron is that? Or is it gas?
Great job DW6, have a healthy and prosperous 2017, thanks for the very informative vid, as always.
Thanks Tony, I appreciate that.
Where can I buy brackets?
whats the deal with the mulching blades i tried two works great
The deal is they mulch your grass finer and it is better for your grass.
Did you still install the switch
Great video as usual.
Thanks David I appreciate that. Happy New Year! In my opinion, I like the pallet shelf video (that I just posted) a little better. Thanks for watching!
Nice job!
Thanks John, I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
I
i like those lites thanks
I like them too. Auxbeam really specializes in Light bars that are much bigger and go on the roof or across the entire bumper. They also make really bright light bulbs that you can replace your standard ones with. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment again. Bob
thank you
No problem, I'm happy I could help you out! I'll hear from you next video:;)
Now just wait until you go thru some mud and cover those lights up.
I've never watched such a short CZcams video, with SOOOOO many commercial ads/breaks... wtf. SKIP! There are far too many video's about this subject, for me to waste any more time on this channel.
needs more heat-shrink............lol
It is funny you say that. If I ever have an electrical problem the first place I look is at the work I did on my own. My headlights stopped working on my Honda fit and it was both of them I checked the fuse, the relay, and then I found the problem was an oxidized wire in the factory harness. A little wiggling of the wires in the steering column and I found my problem. I don't expect to have any problems with my reverse lights in this installation it is done right. Thanks for commenting.
@@doublewide6 I have had electrical problems before and completely agree with you. The tips about the dielectric grease and two layers of shrink wrap are a part of my knowledge base now. Thanks for sharing your wiring expertise.
