P1000 50" LED Light Bar

[SmokeyMike]

I have installed a 50" light bar which is about 288Watts

Do I need to use the relay on the harness that I ordered with it or can I just wire to my rocker switch and then to my fuse panel that I added? If OK to wire to the fuse panel what size fuse?

Thanks in advance for any info

Yes, use a relay. They're $5.
How to determine amps: Watts/Volts = Amps. 288W/12V = 24A

My light bar is the same type and rating. I used a relay and a 20amp fuse......

Depends on the switch you use.. but for most common switches I would/did.

52" curved light bar from Amazon. I got the mounts off a guy on here or facebook, Matt Marrs (Redbank34). I had to ream out the slots on the mounts a little to get the light bar bolts in.
