Wiring up New XL80's???

[tmthunder]

I installed my SDHQ mounts finally. I have XL80's to put on top of them. I was looking at the supplied harness that came with a switch. I am planning to use my upfitter switch 3 for these so looking for a sanity check. I believe that if I remove the switch that came with the harness, tape off the white and black wires, then connect the blue wire to my switch 3 upfitter wire that should activate the supplied relay. Is my thought process correct on this as the blue wire appears to be the trigger for the relay??? Appreciate the help!

It has been a while since I installed mine. If I recall, I clipped the relay and removed it completely. I ran the black wires to a body ground in the engine bay and then twisted the white wires and connected to the upfitter box directly. Nick@ApolloOffroad was a tremendous help but I can't seem to find his name on here to tag him.

Personally, i'd bypass the relay that came with the kit and wire directly to your upfitter. Any of them can handle the ~11A load.
If you dont want to butcher the provided harness, your kit should have come with pieces to make your own connector. Just a matter of running your own wiring.
