Wiring

Given the loads the Baja Designs lights pull, I wanted wiring that aired on the side of overkill. John at SPV was excellent to work with. For the 6 LP4 that are going on the front bumper, the harness for it is dual 10 gauge wires feeding 3 LP4’s each parallel to each other. 10 gauge is good for up to 30 amps. So there is plenty of cushion on that main line. The individual lines to each light are 14 gauge. While it may be overkill, I also wanted to secure the wiring along the whole length and keep it neatly tucked out of the way.
