[QUOTE="4x4TruckLEDs.com, post: 1271469, member: 24442"] As I said in my PM we're not in the harness making business but here's what you'll want to put it together -You can use the existing harness you bought, as that'll save you from having to buy a weatherpack crimper and connectors (about $25 savings right there). So basically take that harness and follow the 3 wires coming out of the weatherpack connector... cut it as far back as you can to give yourself some slack. Next you'll need 2 relays. We buy these all the time. It's always nice to have extra relays on hand: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011H0MSPQ/?tag=fordraptorforum-20[/URL] Some wire is good to have. [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C7O82LU/?tag=fordraptorforum-20[/URL] 12gauge should suffice since you're not going far. Check out this video by ChrisFix for an idea on how to wire in a light bar: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8GY69Ci7l4[/url] When he shows hte diagram at 2:06 your upfitter is what is going to 86 (the switch) which is positive voltage. 85 goes to ground (so the relay can be powered). 30 goes to your battery terminal (with a fuse) and 87 will go to the white wire on your OnX6 Bar Now when you turn your upfitter on, you are sending power to #86 which trips the relay, and sends power to the light bar (the black wire/ground, on your light bar will go to your vehicle chasis). So now what about the dimming wire right? [url]https://www.the12volt.com/relays/converting-polarity.asp[/url] Check that out... same idea basically 86 goes to the upfitter 85 goes to the ground same as before now the difference. Instead of wiring 30 to the battery (+) your going to put it on the ground instead. And instead of having 87 to go the light bars power side (white) you're going to the light bars dimmer wire, green. So basically when you activate the upfitter it sends voltage to the 86 terminal which trips the relay. 30 will then pass the GROUND to 87, which is what you want on the green wire. Make sense? If you've never wired up electronics in a vehicle before it can be confusing, that's why I always recommend have a shop do it for you. [/QUOTE]
