RWalk Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi All, I'm a long time forum reader but this is my first post here. I am in the process of installing some LED lights on my truck. Here are the LED Lights coming in the mail: (2) Kawell 16W LED 3x3 Pod SPOT Light (2) Kawell 16W LED 3x3 Pod FLOOD Light (2) Kawell 18W LED 7.5" Amber LED Light Bar (2) Kawell 18W LED 7.5" White LED Light Bar (10) LED Marker Lights 1.2W each The 4 LED pods will be mounted in place of my existing fog lights. The LED light bars will be mounted above the louvers (shown in cardboard as I still have to cut them out of sheet metal) on my custom back rack ( I might make a write up on that too- modeled it in solidworks and cut it out of sheet metal which worked out pretty well ). The marker lights will go in various spots including my grill, side rails, and side of the backrack. I plan on using a 2 Output 6A per Output controller for the strobes made by Sho-Me that can be found here. Here's where I think I'm going to run into a problem and I could use someone who is savvy with automotive electrical. I want to use my be able to use my fog lights and light bars for driving and reverse lights (steady burn) as well as a LED strobe. The strobe controller does not have a steady burn option. I came up with the following wiring diagram. It would be helpful if someone could look it over and let me know if I'll be able to use a switch as a steady burn option. I am unsure if I need to use relays for my switches because I won't really be pulling any high amperage through the system, and I am also unsure if I might need a diode to prevent current being backtracked into the controller when my steady burn switches are turned on. Thanks for reading! -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Seibel Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I love the custom back-rack. Not a wiring expert, But I'd like to see the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWalk Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Thanks for the kind words guys. Update: After some research I found the flasher that will do exactly what I need it to do . It's the ULF44 made by Whelen - link is here. Still waiting on my amber LED bars to come (Kawell sent the wrong ones). Here's a video I made that shows the functionality of the flasher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ely37nnOn-Q?version=3&vq=hd720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waaazooo Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 So these are just small led fog light blocks? Will the strobe effect shorten their life span? I'm curious because this is right down my alley of want to do's. Next is, do you know how you can wire the ulf44 to incorporate the oem led fog lights?

Sidewayz Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 You completely lose the ambers in the sea of white. They look almost blinding for traffic control if that's what you're using them for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWalk Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Those Ambers are just the 1W marker lights. The Amber lights hadn't come in yet when I made that video. The ambers will be the same intensity as the white lights. If they are too bright the flasher has a low power mode. Will update after the weekend.

RWalk Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Update: Finished installing the front end. Not quite done with the back rack. Picture of the fog cubes installed attached. I did not buy the rigid industries bracket (mostly because I'm a cheap bastard!). Video of the functionality here: -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWalk Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Are those the ambers you were waiting for? The ambers in post #9 were not the ambers that I was waiting for. You can see the ones that I was waiting for in post #12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
