    Fantastic video! I was a little intimidated when I bought this. But I figured I’d find someone to walk me through it. after watching several videos, yours explained everything the best. Really appreciate the time you put into making video, and all the commentary and hints that you put in. Thank you!

    Great video. Did you use the supplied add-a-fuse? Mine seems to have much longer prongs that the OEM fuses so not sure if that’ll mess anything up

    Great video, and glad to see products like this becoming more readily available. I’ve installed 3 Fenix 4200 Mini programmable switch boxes for customers and love them, although their outputs are only 3.5A which really limits their uses. But for the average weekend warrior needing to power low current devices, they are only $120 and designed/manufactured in Texas.

    Did you leave your raptor lights with their own add-a-fuse in the head light fuse port and just added another add-a-fuse to another accessory fuse port for the 6 gang switch switch panel? Or did you re-route the existing raptor lights wiring to the Auxbeam switch panel and used the add-a-fuse solely for the switch panel?

    Awesome video - just picked up the same unit after watching your video for my FJ40...did you go direct to NEG battery terminal with the ground on the unit? Or can you also use a grounding point near the unit (there are a few that you can easily tap into). The instructions are slightly confusing and the Auxbeam video suggests battery. I just want minimal wires to the terminals.

    I'm having an issue with the LED panel not turning off even when vehicle is off. Double and triple checked my wiring and even had an accessory light controlled by the panel. No other lighting or connection issues to trace. LED panel stays lit. Any ideas?

    Heck yeah I just got the 8 gang switch panel. Great video and I really like your bracket you made, I would ask for one made but my 21 Tacoma is manual and has the reservoir there in that spot.

    nice video man, was looking into installing some various lighting and 12v accessories to my car and was wondering if this wiring harness box is limited to lighting only or if you could by chance install other devices to use with it. My main thought was a small power inverter for charging devices, think that this would be a capable addition or would it be better to do a separate install with its own wiring? Love the idea of not having to have a nest of wires coming from the battery to hook up a few light bars and maybe interior lighting though.

    • @Beacon_Offroad
      @Beacon_Offroad  2 роки тому +1

      It will turn on and off whatever device you choose. I haven't looked at specs but didn't see anything above a 30amp fuse, make sure your load doesn't go beyond or check the specs..

      You're welcome. Its not water tight but in reality will be fine to get wet. I'm not sure if they list a recommendation but I'm sure it's fine. I'll be sure to wash my engine every once and a while and eventually get it wet. I'm the owner of OK Tire Surrey-Fleetwood.
