It woud be awesome to have an XL80 linkable kit for the 2024 Raptor. Is that in the works?

You need our Cross mount-

XL80's are 5.5 amps each.
So 6 of them are 33 amps total (Thats a lot)
There are several ways to do the wiring with our plug n play system.
One way is with our 10 Guage HD 8 Chain harness.
8 X Chain HD - 3 Pole WP Connector (To Universal Harness System) MAIN APPLICATION/DESCRIPTION- This harness is intended to be plugged into our Standard Duty or HD Light Bar Harnesses. You will need to add one of those as well, unless you already have one. Our Standard Duty Light Bar Harness is...

And then our HD Light Bar Harness with relay-

But because the Weather Pack Pins/Connectors that combine the end of the chain to the HD light bar harness are rated at 20 amps max. You would want to cut those off and splice the two together. (Thats the bottleneck with 33 amps. The wire can handle it and it has a 40 amp fuse and relay.
Thats ONE way.
However, I would probably keep it totally plug n play and just break it up a bit.
I would use a short light bar harness HERE -

Then for the other 3, (Driver side) I would do the same, but with the Standard Light Bar harness (6 feet vs 3 feet on the Short light bar harness since the switch wires are on the passenger side)

Even though that sounds like more. It is slimmed down and broken up. Also, because no single connector has more than 20 amps running through it (5.5X3 is 16.5 amps on each side) Then it can stay completely plug n play. The mini relays are 1/3 the size of a standard one. So even 2 of them are smaller than the ONE HD light bar harness.
If you or anyone wants us to help put a cart together like this. Reach out to us. We can also do a BUNDLE kit discount.
So with the cross mount, the possibilities are really endless. So we can't always show every combination in a kit or it would be overwhelming.

Now, you are probably thinking I dodged your question on a linkable XL80 with inner links.
Here is the problem with that.
The XL Linkable Lights use Bajas "MOTO" case. (The backside is FLAT and has no cooling fins.) And the mounting holes are different. So the links just don't line up.
Also, the XL80's NEED those cooling fins. With the added weight of the case in the XL80's. Even with a link that could fit. It would be too heavy.
Honestly though. If you are after XL80's or LP4 or LP6's, that Cross Mount is STELLAR. It's also sleek and blends in. I can't believe how many people said they didn't notice it.
We actually had someone install 4 of the LP9's on it! I think he posted it on the Forum as well.
Let us know if we can help!
