ARB Deluxe bumper install

[badtoytrd]

I was able to pick my bumper up last week from ARB and was a little disappointed with the lack of connectors on the fog lights. My understanding when I bought it was that they were going to be plug and play with my factory fog light connectors. So I did a little research and found some connectors that were almost exactly the same as factory. The bumper is pretty strait forward to install so I just wanted to post some of the light wiring ideas for those of you who are thinking about this bumper or have it and haven't installed it yet.

Connectors:

4 male terminals (12-14 AWG)

4 "position assurance keepers"

Metri-pak crimper (says weather pak but it will work for both)

I also ordered yellow fog lights any H3 bulbs will work but here's what I bought

Now the install:

I installed everything this way with the extra red 14AWG because that way I can just disconnect the blade terminals and replace the light if I need to.


Connectors on lights from ARB...remove these

Lights apart

Add red 14AWG wire

Install cavity seals and terminals

Slide terminals into male housing and add "position keepers"

Add 14AWG blade connector

I added heat shrink over both connectors

Factory fog light connector you need to remove. Use a removal tool or small eyeglass screwdriver

Add female housing you bought and "position keeper"

Finished product

Here are a few pics of the bumper installed. I decided not to wire the white side markers in because I thought it wouldn't flow with all the other amber lights. I did however wire the blinker/DRL into the amber ones on the bumper.

To wire the lights the following wires match up

Truck side markers
Grnd: Blk/Wht
Pwr: Grn/Blk

match to

Bumper side markers
Grnd: Blk/Wht
Pwr: Red/Wht

Truck blinker/DRL
Grnd: Wht/Blk
Pwr: Red/Yellow

match to

Bumper blinker/DRL
Grnd: Blk/Wht
Pwr: Green/Wht

Winch Wiring

I was able to finally wiring up my winch. I wanted to add an on/off switch in case the solenoid malfunctioned and to keep from vandalism. I also added a hinge for the license plate so I can run it lower to hide the fairlead. I will post more of the mounting plate I fabbed and more wiring.

Blue Sea battery disconnect

I can fit my hand through the jack hole

Bumper looks good. Like your flip up licence plate holder.
