Gents,

Right now my 30" Rigid RDS is using the wiring harness that came with it and has the switch wire tied to my Aux 1 switch. Im trying to clean things up under the hood and would love to get rid of the harness.... can I just wire the light bar directly the to the Aux 1 wire??? If I recall, thats a 30 Amp circuit and the RDS site says the bar only draws 16.30 Amps.

What say the FRF?

I have a 40 and a 20 wired to Aux 1, a 30 wired to Aux 2 and my hood cannons on 4.

In short, you're fine to do whatever.
