Anyone have a chance to wire an aftermarket light bar- say in a bumper- where you tapped the Amber back light feature into the amber DRLs? If so- what and where did you tap into???
TIA-

On my Gen 2, I got the light harness from @Specialtyperformanceparts. It is not recommended to tap into a headlight housing circuit, even for parking lights. It is available for the Gen 3, plug and play.

We have a patented plug-and-play harness that will do this. Depending on what light bar you have, you may need to alter the harness you have to work with it, or purchase one of our lightbar harnesses that will plug directly into it. Very clean and simple install.




Please let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help if you need assistance figuring out what to get.

Thanks!
