Beno Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Getting a lamp on top of my truck was wandering if anyone had a guide or pics showing where about to drill the hole, as once its done there’s no going back lol It will be a LF170 that'll be used also what did you do for wiring it up straight to the battery? Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ben Save the effort of running two wires to the battery and just loop the negative around the bolt you tighten to hold the lamp to the car. It'll earth and complete the circuit I've drilled plenty of holes in my car, just count to 10 before you do Edited July 5, 2010 by Billy.

william1 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 hi ya mate you can use your fagg lighter socket but put a in line fuse hope this help's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 The Lightforces draw a massive current. After only a few minutes use you will find that the wires, lamp, handle (the whole lot) heats up, such is the draw. We just extend the lead with heavy duty cable and put crock clips on, to jump straight onto the battery. Oh, we have 3 batteries in the boot and a split charging system as well....

HDAV Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 If your nervous go to a car audio fitting place (not halfrauds) and get them to wire it up like an amplifier with fuse etc if you use it alot then a deep cycle battery like an Optima yellow top may be needed If you have space a secondary batt and split charger are the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 have you lot got tiny batteries and knackered alternators? My L200 I've never had an issue with running one, my truck used to have a flashing light so i've got a decent 12v supply to an isolator swtch by the ignition and running to the back where I've hard wired the lightforce to it. main wire doesn't get hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
