Marker Lights Help
 

Hey there.

Im about to make my truck glow like a XMAS tree:jump:. I have an Idea how to put marker lights I have full length running boards and I want to put amber LED lights on them about 4 on each side. any info and advise how to do the wiring on this I am going to wire them so if one goes out the others wont go out. Parallel Circuit. But how to hook up to my switch would be appreciated. Splicers and shrink wrap will be used since the truck runs in dirty enviroment hence my name Ranchhand. Thank you guys have a great day.

Use a relay to tie into the wire that feed your park lamps (it'll keep the headlamp switch from frying).

Yep I fiqure I have to do that. thank you. I should also ask what type of relay do you recommend?

a standard bosch relay

I knew what you ment by relay had a friggin brain fart. I was thinkin a toggle switch for some reason sorry been a hectic couple of days for me.. All 1000 Head of cattle broke down my fences and got mixed in together....

you will be calving at all kinds of odd times, woof! Saddle up ole "Doc's Oak" and get busy, can't play with your truck till the cattle is in, gotta beat the snow.

Well we lost to the snow we got two feet in a day and a half. But atleast we got em all sorted out. and we only have 15 cows left to have calves

what you could do is tie them into your trailer wiring into the running lights. then you wont need a switch. when you turn your running lights on your ambers on your steps will be lit. thats what i did on my pickup :tu:

haha good idea but Ill put the extra time and effort to wire them into my headlight switch..
