ARB Base Rack Auxiliary LED Lights

Received my Deutsch crimper/plug set.
Quick trip to Jaycar to try out some little spotties; just put a DTP plug on the pigtail they come with and bolted to bracket to the underside of the FR rack.
Put one on the back as well.
If they do the job I'll keep them , and if not just plug something else in!

I ordered the ARB lights for my rig. Probably will be a couple weeks. Which ditch plug adapter do you use to wire into? Did you splice it yourself or was there an adapter that was pre made?

I replaced the light’s OEM connectors (DT I think) with DTP ‘open barrel’ style connectors (for lack of a very heavy duty ‘solid barrel’ crimping tool) and plugged in one light to each of the forward outlets on the roof. Thus switch EXT 2 controls the right side light and EXT 3 the left (which adds a bit of unavoidable left/right confusion when using).

Since their current draw is low, you could run a dual cable from one outlet to each side light, kept on one switch.
