3. Wiring The Lights
3.1 - Wiring Harness Overview
Our premium wiring harness features high-quality waterproof components
and a clever HotSwap™ design that enables an effortless swap from the
standard Single-Intensity relay to our Dual-Intensity DataDim™ Controller
(Sold Separately)
. If adding the DataDim™ Controller upgrade now, jump
ahead and read
Section 6
before returning to
Section 3.2
. If not, continue
to
Section 3.2
with peace of mind that you can always upgrade later,
without having to rewire the lights.
Note:
The DENALI harness with pods connected is 60 inches in length.
DENALI Harness Extensions are available for purchase if extra length is
required.

Step One:
Find a suitable location near the battery to store the
Single-Intensity Relay.
Step Two:
Begin routing the harness towards the mounted light pods.
Secure the harness to the vehicle’s frame along the way with the
included zip ties. Be sure to avoid any moving components such as fan
blades or suspension. Plug the light pods into the base harness.
Step Three:
Route the switch wire to the location where the switch will
be mounted and secure it to the vehicle using zip ties. See
Section 4
for
switch mounting options.
3.3 - Tapping Switched Power
Step One:
Two examples of possible switched power sources are the
low beam and tail light, however there are many other possible sources
in most vehicles. The simplest way to identify switched power is to use a
test light to probe connectors/wires while cycling the ignition. A clean
switched power source will only be live when the ignition is cycled “ON”,
it should lose power when the ignition is cycled “OFF”.
Step Two:
Once a proper switched power source has been identified
use the included Posi-Tap to tap the white trigger wire into the identified
switched power source.
3.4 - Connecting To The Battery
Step One:
Remove the fuse from the fuse holder.
Step Two:
Access the vehicle’s battery and disconnect the negative (-)
and positive (+) terminals.
Step Three:
Connect the DENALI wiring harness to the battery via the
ring terminals, be sure the red wire lead with the fuse holder in-line
goes to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Step Four:
Re-install the fuse into the fuse holder.
Note:
When possible, place the fuse holder in an easily accessible
location for convenient service in the event of a blown fuse.
