nice video - so ,,, with mine i connected the control box/cig lighter end to my aux switch along with the power to the lights. this way they both get powered without having to worry about anything
My lights arrived today..... My question is, what wire did you purchase 2? Make the wire longer..... I have a ram crew cab 1500... I know I would need a longer Extension wire..... and also, Is it possible that I use a fuse tap instead of connecting the wire straight to the battery??? PLEASE RESPOND.....and is it true, that these rock lights ONLY turn on when you are parked?
I buy 12 C3 rock light and P1S gang switch control panel. Can I connect lights directly to gang switch ans not using cable with on off switch included in C3 kit?
So if I’m reading it right or watching it right on your video one of the black and red wire combos would go from the battery to the first wheel well that would include to pod lights. So at that connection you would have four red and four black combined together?. Because you would have a red coming from both of the pods one red coming in from the battery and one red going out to the next wheel well?
@@camwiththeram535 got it,, will be using it,, just need to figure out if I'm going to hook it up to the car's electrical, or my cmaping electrical power (solar charger),, thx for the video.!
Can i hardwire the switch and the remote on the same switch? I don't want to use my cigarette lighter plug. Also i am planning on running everything into P1s switch panel. Be nice just ro use one port .
I have a Voswitch panel. I am finding that I can use the Voswitch to cut power to the lights and turn them off but when I use the switch to supply power to the lights they will not turn on. They can only be turned on with the controller or the app. Kind of defeats the purpose of the cool Voswitch panel. I've tried contacting support at mictuning but am not getting a response. Is there anything magical about the supplied switch and harness that makes it so you can turn the lights back on with just the manual switch? My intention was to be able to turn the lights on and off (and back on) with the switch panel and only use the controller or app when I wanted to change the colors or other settings.
So I have to have that box plugged into the cigarette lighter for this to work? Thats a big negative. I use an SPOd or my accessories, would prefer to just hit the button on the spod to turn it on, then use the app to adjust color?
Is there a way to control these so 1/2 are one color and the other 1/2 another color at the same time? Would you have to have 2 full sets with 2 controllers and run each separately?
With the app...can you control individual lights or groups of lights...or is it all or none? Asking cause I'm ordering the C3 12 light set, and planning to put 2 in each wheel well, 2 in the truck bed (a RAM too) and 2 in the engine bay. I would be great to only turn on the bed lights or the engine bay lights by themselves instead of having to turn all on at the same time. Great video.
Bro, I’ve watched your video tons of times, I’ve connected everything and the toggle switch won’t turn on and when it almost did, the fuse blew. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Are the rock lights visible during the day? These are a lot larger then normal rock lights and want a clean look during the day. Thanks for the video very helpful
Thank you for such a detailed video. I have been trying to decide between these C2 C3 and Q1. Do you have to use the rocker switch or can you just clip those wires in cabinet and just use the remote attached to the cigarette lighter and the app. I cannot find an ideal location to push through the firewall anywhere on my brand new truck
@@camwiththeram535 I have a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. I was hoping just to be able to turn it off with the remote. It kind of looked like that works when you showed the video
Trust me you want to install the rocker switch. I have wheel lights and under glow that were wired into my fuse box but it still drained my battery. All is good now I just flip the switch and change the colors on the app and with the remote. Take Care!
What an awesome and very detailed video. Made me just order a set! Thanks for the great instructions.
Ordered because of your video. Thanks for the review

Hey man I’m looking to get a light bar for my warlock thinking about putting it above the windshield. Do you have any suggestions
Don't lol .. looks tacky now a days . Id recommend hood mount
You had me at, no more bundle of wires under my 🛻. Sold
Can I bypass the rocker switch with drilling inside the truck
If I install Gang P1s panel, do I have to use the wires with on off switch or I can connect C3 lights on the panel?
you think these c3's would be a good/(bright enough) solution for a lighting on a bed rack for overlanding/camping
Absolutely!
Do you need my link !?

The controller needs to be on its own power separate from the lights
Can you run that to yam up fitter switch?

I have the same question. Just installed yesterday. Did you ever get an answer to this?
Is there a way to hook up the control box without using the cigarette connector?
So is there a way to hard wire it so u don't have to use the cigarette lighter
Yea cut the switch off and use the wires to the battery
You mean cut the cigarette lighter connector and run the black and red to the battery ?
I ordered the C2. After seeing this, I think I will stop the order and get the C3. Worth it?
Definitely they are brighter and bigger and easier to mount and run wire too
@@camwiththeram535 Thanks for the response- I cancelled the c2 and ordered c3. This video was super helpful!
So you don't need to do anything with the white signal wire?? Just leave it be?
Yessir !
Can you hook up as many lights as you want? I’ve got the c2 but I hate how you can only hook up 8 per module. I’d like to have 16 total
Up to like 64
Buy extra C2 lights and tap them into the other lines
So I have to have that box plugged into the cigarette lighter for this to work? Thats a big negative.
I use an SPOd or my accessories, would prefer to just hit the button on the spod to turn it on, then use the app to adjust color?
Just cut the end off of that and it’ll have a red and black wire run it to someplace that you can turn it on and then use the app
I guess I'm just going to loop a switched 12v line all the way around the Jeep and just tap into that line wherever I put a light.
Is there a way to control these so 1/2 are one color and the other 1/2 another color at the same time? Would you have to have 2 full sets with 2 controllers and run each separately?
You would need two controllers and then sync half to the new one
Thank you! there is no way to control it without the control box?
Correct that is the brain that has to have powers
It should have water resistant wire nuts or something similar weather resistant connections
With the app...can you control individual lights or groups of lights...or is it all or none? Asking cause I'm ordering the C3 12 light set, and planning to put 2 in each wheel well, 2 in the truck bed (a RAM too) and 2 in the engine bay.

Bro, I’ve watched your video tons of times, I’ve connected everything and the toggle switch won’t turn on and when it almost did, the fuse blew. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Make sure you got the switch wired up right if you disconnect it he switch at all to put it through the firewall
@@camwiththeram535 yeah I had a complete brain fart on this one, lol. I appreciate the response brother!
On your past video you had a c2 and a q1..did the remote work for both controllers or did you have the c2 plugged into the q1 controller?
Just the one controller worked with the remote only controlling 8
@@camwiththeram535 but for each set you have to use that big square box ?
Are the rock lights visible during the day? These are a lot larger then normal rock lights and want a clean look during the day. Thanks for the video very helpful
What do you mean by visible the light or the rock light themselves
Bro are you in Augusta?

So the rocker switch is to cut power to them I used an auxiliary switch panel in my truck
What kind of truck do you have
You can always do a fuse tap and have them come on with the truck it’s a lot of wiring

What brand or where did you get your extension wire? I really appreciate your video
I made them out of 14 gauge speaker wire and wire loom from Amazon
