Oslamp LED 4'' Spot Light Bar Bumper Installation Video/Review

2015-04-02
so here are the LED lights themselves got the cable and the two little mounting screws down at the bottom so the wiring harness comes with these little adapters right here that help plug in the lights to the harness itself sticking it in the circle end of the plug clamping it down with pliers and that'll make it easier to plug into the harness when it's underneath the car I'm going to push this bolt through the bottom of it when you flip over the light fixture it's just going to wrap up underneath like this and that bolt is going to sit inside of there and it's not going to turn when you put the nut on the bottom of it because the edges of that groove are going to hold it steady and you can take the two nuts in there line those up with these two grooves in the side of this bracket then you can position it and angle the light however you want alright looking at the wiring harness can be a little bit intimidating at first you can see we have the main relay right here with these two connections and it's just kind of ease off and two separate legs it's actually pretty simple so I'm explain what's going on so this is the main part of the wiring harness you have a fuse in there that kind of regulates how much electricity gets to the light and then these two connections right here the black and the red they're what's going to go to your battery terminals black goes on the negative R it goes on the positive and will work with the black leg first it just goes to the lights themselves you have these two black and white cables they're going to go to one of the lights and that's going to go to the other LED light on the other side of the bumper so this particular wiring harness has two legs when you're installing two lights now the other leg that comes away from the relay is this white leg and it's for the switch so what happens here is the switch itself obviously you click it on and click it off the black wire is just going to go to a ground so basically any screw that's attached to the frame just stick it in there and screw it down onto the frame and then the red one needs to go to the battery itself without a good ground and without that being on the battery the switch isn't going to work in the whole wiring harness isn't going to work so keep that in mind everything for this project you'll be able to find in the video description below this wiring harness the lights everything so check out the video description below for the parts what's sweet about these connections that I just installed is that these clear rubber parts go inside the blue plastic and it's a pretty much a watertight connection already I'm probably gonna put electrical tape around it anyway just to be double sure but they fit pretty snugly black to black white to red so I have dry wired everything together it looks like everything's working now that I know everything works I'm going to go ahead and mount it to the car itself and organize the wires I'm going to stick the LED light right here in this little hole a little fit perfect right in there I'm going to bolt it right down through the plastic here there's a little metal bar right behind it that'll also get a little more stability this bumper is pretty solid so I bet if I went straight through the plastic as well it'd be just fine so the bolt that goes down through the lamp into the bumper has a 13 millimeter bolt I'm also going to take a locking washer and metal plate and stick it on the bottom as well to give it more stability inside of the bumper it's down inside there though so I'm not I don't have a good camera angle so I'm going to skip that part in the video and it has the two screws in the back holding it to this metal plate and that will allow it to just up and down somehow you have to get this inside of the cab of your car so you can turn the lights on and off from the inside now every car is a little bit different but this particular car has the little hole right there inside of the firewall where some other wires are going through so I'm just going to have to maneuver my way through this plastic sheath and get my controller inside of the car if you get super desperate and you can't find a little hole through the firewall you can always drill one but that's a little bit dangerous as well so the plastic connector was a little too big so what I ended up doing was feeding the black and the red wires through cutting the white wire and splicing it back together again once I fed it through the backside so that little white plastic connectors on the other side of the firewall so I have it all wired up now I'm gonna explain really quick so you got the from the switch got the wires coming through the firewall this is that ground I was talking about earlier there's just a screw on the frame that was already grounded to something else the ground in with that if your lights are dim or they're not functioning correctly it might be because the ground is not good enough so make sure there's a clean ground anywhere on the metal frame of the car you might need to scrape away some of the black paint to make it a better connection then with the battery I had the two red cables that go to the battery the one black cable that goes from the negative to the relay and then I found a pre-drilled hole in the frame that I just had an extra bolt and just stuck the relay screwed it in and then you have the other two lines coming down here one goes to that light and the other one comes to this light right here which I am going to install right now now I just need to organize the wires make sure they're not ever going to touch anything hot inside the car and we're good to go and there she is installed I'll do some nice shots so you can see what kind of distance the lights through the camera isn't doing justice to the LEDs but you can see that they go straight forward and then kind of up into the trees as well so it gives you more of a kind of like a bright effect and then here's the brights on with the car as well so between the LEDs and the brights the LEDs definitely go farther but the camera's not showing the depth perception and that is it you have any questions be sure to leave them in the comments below don't forget to like if this video helped you and don't forget to subscribe thanks for watching
