GEN 2 Baja Designs LP6 wiring questions

[6inaRow]

We'll get some output shots and get them posted ASAP. If you're going to run 4 of them, 2 spots on the inner and two driving combo is a solid setup!

Thank you very much! I love the look of that setup you guys have on that shop truck! Do the LP6 in spot have a similar throw of light as the XL Racer edition? I'm debating between 4 LP6's or 2 xl80 driving combos and 2 xl racer's. I love the IPT lights which is making me lean towards doing the LP6's.

I was going to ask if anyone has them and if they put out sufficient light down stream. I ran 5 Vision X light canons (4.5") on my GEN1 and while I love the flexibility of swapping out lenses for different color (amber and clear) they were not very good lights.

I knew on my gen2, I needed bigger lights and the LP6 seems to be the right size without being enormous lights.

Are you running driving combos? Any pics of them in action?

My trucks tied up this weekend or I would get you a action shot. They are the driving combo. Completely wash out the rigid 20” I have under them. Looking at lp4s on the hood mounts and replace the rigid with a S8 spot.

Running lights with LP6

Here is a video I made earlier this year with the LP9s. It'll give you an idea on how powerful XL80s are compared to LP9s.

How are you avoiding not having the lows and highs on at the same time? Just by remembering not having both auxiliary switches on at the same time?

Another option is get your LP6s from us and get the LVJ Motorsports Relay Kit. THIS Is the route I went. I use my upfitter to trip the relay system in the LVJ panel, which is connected to my LP9s (i did LP9). I have this for the highs. I have 4x LP9 so I use 2 relays off the LVJ panel (1 for each pair). I then took 2 more relays to connect the LOW mode on the LP9 (you can do it from 1 relay if you needed to, the lows that is, but i'm planning to have options down the road for WHICH lights the low goes on). So now you can tap the LOW into another upfitter OR, and here's the fun part, use the LVJ's built in high-beam mode to tie that low mode into your highs. So when you flip your high beam circuit on, the LP6 low mode comes on.

Well when you activate HIGH the low/high both come on. When you do LOW only the lowers come on.

I have SW2 setup to turn all 4x LP9 (high) on. The outter LP9 and the inner LP9 pairs are wired to their own relay. So I have 1 pair on 1 relay, 1 pair on another. I then tied those into the LVJ Motorsports relay system. Currently I have SW2 from my upfitter going to #1 and #2 on the LVJ relay panel. I did this so that if i wanted to in the future, i can separate the outter pair from the inner pair.

I also did the same with the lows. #3 and #4 from the LVJ are setup for the outter pair lows and the inner pair lows. Right now those are just controlled from my high beam switch. I don't have the lows on their own swtich because why bother... i'll never see a need to run the lows by themselves. I can throw my highs on to trigger them.

The XL Racer is going to be a significantly better distance light than the LP6. Tighter and further reaching pattern. You'll still get distance out of spot LP6, but if ultimate distance is your goal, the XL Racer would be ideal.

If budget allows, I'd run 2 XL Racer lights on hood mounts, 2 LP6 spots in center bumper, and 2 LP6 combo in outer bumper.

I would not recommend the racers unless you are going to be doing off-roading racing at night... and we're talking races with 60mph+. Racers are really meant for those high speed races, thus the name. They have a tiny beam pattern and unless you REALLY need to throw that light far, spots will fill the need for 99% of people. Racers are great, but spots will be better for almost every application out there. I have a customer who actually bought the 10" OnX6 laser bar from us (and not the hybrid, the FULL laser bar) and still runs spots on his pillars, because he doesn't really need lasers up there. He DOES have lasers but he's not sure what to do with them. He went with the 10" OnX6 Laser because... well he wanted to have a friggin laser on his truck lol...

I am planning to wire my 3 LP6 to my Auxiliary switches ... most likely via the LVJ Motorsports relay system so something like this

aux 1 >> outer left and right LP6 high
aux 2 >> outer left and right LP6 low
aux 3 >> middle single LP6 high
aux 4 >> middle single LP6 low
aux 5 >> all 3 LP6 backlight

so I guess I just have to remember not to have aux 1 and 2 on at the same time or aux 3 and 4 on at the same time

Is there any particular reason you're splitting up the 3 lights instead of running them together? If it's just an amperage thing, you can definitely wire 3 lights to 1 switch with an external relay harness or using that LVJ setup.
