Winch lighting

[portal pat]

Grabbed some Chinese LED strips off of ebay, They were mounted on aluminium backing. That's good as it allows me to use quality double-sided adhesive to fit them. No unsafe night winching now-better to see potential problems etc. as well.

I powered them up from my incab winch control solenoid. When winch power is on, lights are on.

That is a great idea and well worth the effort Thanks for posting it up. I am also interested in how you modified your winch bar to accept the 8274 Warn Hi Mount winch

The Millweld Commercial bar comes from factory ready to accept low or high mount. Although there needed to be a little clearancing for the leading edge of the gearbox to slide in there.

Very nice, and a nice visual indicator of whether the solenoid is on!
