The red wire next to the green goes to your wiring harness. That will turn on the ditch light symbol when you turn on the lights. The red wire next to the black connects to anything that turns on when all the interior lights go on ( I connected it to my headlights). This will turn on the "ditch light" wording.The black goes to the black and the green from the switch goes to the other wire on the harness. So that is three wires from the switch that go to the harness and one wire that goes to anything that lights up that when the interior panel lights go on. Hope this simplifies it.
Hi, I think you can help. I have a plug for the light bar and the colors are, black, white, green, and a white. I know the black should be with the black. But I have doubts with the other three. Much appreciate it if you can help
@@ethanmouzakis1267 Just go to the engine bay and look for the wires that are coming out of the bulb sockets. There are 2 wires, tap into one of them. Hope this helps.
The other red wire will have the bottom of your switch light up when your interior lights are on. When you turn on your ditch lights, the whole switch will light up.
. I want to get new ditch lights for my car but im just going to wire them to my battery with a fuse. The thing is I already have my light bar wired to the battery. Will adding another fuse and ditch lights kill my battery? Even if theyre not on?
I didn’t mount it anywhere haha I just folded all the wiring nicely and zip tied it together haha the wiring situation is all temporary until I figure out what I want to do in terms of cleaning it up (switch Pro etc)
It has clips! They’re pretty sturdy. Use a plastic pry tool and it’ll come off easy. I used a very small flat head but it wasn’t plastic so it messed up a small part of the edge
Does your ditch light button get hot after some use? When I wired mines the 1st time, I grounded it to the the negative terminal of the battery and melted the button twice (smelled like something was burning) before changing and mounting the negative to the chassis. No more melted button but my ditch light button does get hot and sometimes it's hard to press the button to turn off when its been on for a long time. I wired mines both red from the switch/button to the red (with the black). I just want to see if others button gets hot after turning on the lights for a long period of time.
Hey man, I’ve never had that issue. I actually went to work at 6am, somehow turned my ditch lights on when I got out of my truck and didn’t notice they were on until 1pm. The switch wasn’t hot at all
Can someone tell me what gauge & type of connects he is using? I’m not at all familiar with this wiring business but I just my lights today and have a switch I want to use instead of the stock Baja one they give us. Help would be appreciated.
@@juliodavid49 The harness I received from BD with a pair of squadron sports (the same as his) did not have a relay. Only a fuse. This is why I assume his does not have one either.
Correct. Mine doesn’t have a relay. I thought I showed the wiring harness in the video, but if I mentioned nothing about a relay that means I didn’t have one. I will be wiring my light bar soon which does have a relay that showed in the installation video 👍🏼
@@FahadAlkhadim Ok. I assumed that all of them would have one. Mine was not expensive and it came with a relay and a fuse. The fuse should be good enough.
Soo much cleaner look.
The 2nd red wire closest to the black is for add a fuse. You connect it to dash light. Tail light etc.

@@luisarmandotorres6367 Take a look at my channel. I did a video on how to wire OEM style switches to a light wiring harness.
Where is the headlight wire I’m having trouble finding it.

Extra red goes to inside fuse panel using an add a fuse.
I watched another guy do this and he basically took the whole dash out this looks wayyyyyyy easier

Ahhh got it!! Thanks man!

No you’ll be good!
Quick question?, I didn’t see a relay used for those ditch lights. Are they working with out any issues?
Yep, working just fine. Only light that has a relay is my light bar
I wonder if they have another button option, mine has the clutch start cancel, :( … trd off road 4x4 6mt
Hey bro what did you do with the little black box with a bracket on it? Did you attach it to the fuse box?
I didn’t mount it anywhere haha I just folded all the wiring nicely and zip tied it together haha the wiring situation is all temporary until I figure out what I want to do in terms of cleaning it up (switch Pro etc)
Hey dude, How did you remove the panel to place the new button? is it under pressure? is it with clips!?
It has clips! They’re pretty sturdy. Use a plastic pry tool and it’ll come off easy. I used a very small flat head but it wasn’t plastic so it messed up a small part of the edge
@@TacoManD4X4 thanks for your answer ! I'll try it on the weekend 👍🏻

Does that roof rack make a lot of wind noise ?
Not really, unless the sunroof is open then it can be kinda of noisy
For those butt connecters do you remember what Gauge its was?
What did you end up doing to fix the wiring being pinched under the hood? Just installed BD S1 ditch lights and am seeing the same issue.

Don’t you need to use a relay with this kind of switches?
The harness should come with a relay and a fuse. Tacoman is just connecting it to the switch part of the harness.

Yeah that’s even better. Whichever size fuse they gave you is probably the recommended. What is the fuse amp?
I gave up after hours and hours of trying to figure this out. so angering
