Installation

Step 1 – Plan the install

1. Unbox your harness kit and verify that all parts are present.
2. Lay out the harness and plan where to install the perimeter strobes (sold separately). Plan and lay out the necessary adapters and extensions alongside the Main Harness (A).
3. Note: There are is a Short Y Splitter Adapter (B) and a Long Y Splitter Adapter (C) included in this kit. Please choose the proper adapter according the location you want to install your lights. Examples:
4. The Short Y Splitter Adapter (B) is long enough if you install the front perimeter strobes in the grille. If you want to install the lights on the bumper or side of the vehicle, you may need to use the Long Y Splitter Adapter (C).
5. The Short Y Splitter Adapter (B) is long enough if you install the rear perimeter strobes under the tail gate. If you want to install the lights on the side of the vehicle, you may need to use the Long Y Splitter Adapter (C).
6. The standard harness and splitter adapters are long enough for standard pick up truck beds or flat beds up to 10’ long. If you choose to install the rear perimeter strobes on a truck body and route the harness through the cabin, you may need to use the Extension Harness for Perimeter Strobe (D).
7. An example configuration is shown on the next page for reference.

EXAMPLE configuration
This example uses Harness Kit #BB8KB06, 6x Perimeter Strobe #BB6110B and 2x Grille Bracket Kit #BB96GFA.
Lights and brackets are sold separately.

Step 2 – Program the Perimeter Strobe Lights

We suggest programming the lights and testing harness functionality before beginning installation on the vehicle.

1. Unbox all of the perimeter strobe lights. A waterproof 5 pin male connector and a female pigtail are included in the package of each light.
2. To program all 6 lights together, remove the pigtails and connect all lights and Y splitter adapters to the Main Harness (A). Plug the 5 Core Pigtail (F) into the switch connector on the Main Harness (A) (Fig. 1).
3. To program each light individually, use the female pigtail that came with the perimeter strobe light (Fig. 2).
4. See Fig. 3 for individual wire functions. Refer to the perimeter strobe light instructions to program the RED , GREY and WHITE wires to desired strobe patterns.
5. Unplug the pigtail(s). If programmed individually, plug the perimeter strobe lights into the Y splitter adapters you’ve laid out, but leave them unplugged from the Main Harness (A). If programmed together, unplug connections from the Main Harness (A). Light bundles will be reconnected to the Main Harness (A) once it’s routed through the vehicle.

Step 3 – Install the harness and lights

1. Prior to routing through the vehicle, cap the Main Harness (A) connectors with provided Connector Caps (G). Capping the connectors is highly recommended to prevent dirt or grease getting into the female connectors during installation.
2. Locate the vehicle’s main harness along the frame rail. Route the StrobeLinkTM Main Harness (A) alongside it, starting under the cab and working towards the rear.
3. Remove the Connector Cap (G) and connect the Y splitter adapter for the rear strobe lights.
4. Route the front portion of the harness under the cab and into the engine bay. Secure to the vehicle’s wiring on the firewall or inner fender. Do not rest the wires against the exhaust.
5. Remove the Connector Cap (G) and connect the Y splitter adapter for the front strobe lights.
6. The top wire of the Main Harness (A) is designed for two perimeter strobes on the roof, top of the headache rack, side of the running board or side of the bed. If used, route the wire labeled “Top” through the vehicle and connect a Y splitter adapter.

An example configuration is shown on the next page for reference.

Step 4 – INSTALL THE LIGHT CONTROL

There are 3 options to control your strobe lights:

Step 4 – INSTALL THE LIGHT CONTROL

There are 3 options to control your strobe lights:

1. Use Provided Switch Panel
2. Use Upfitter Switches
3. Use 3rd Party Switches

Note: If the battery or fuse box of the vehicle is on the passenger side , you will need Power Extension Cable BBSE02 (sold separately) to extend between the power connector on the Switch Harness (E) and the pigtail to reach the power source.

Each option is outlined individually on the next 2 pages.

Step 4 OPTION 1 – Use provided switch panel

1. Connect the Switch Harness (E) to the Main Harness (A). Temporarily connect to a 12V DC power source to test switch functionality. Disconnect the Switch Harness (E) once verified.
2. Enlarge the main harness boot hole on the firewall and route the switch wire of the Main Harness (A) into the cab.
3. Determine the switch panel location and route the Switch Harness (E) switch wire through or under the dashboard and connect it to the Main Harness (A).
4. Route the Switch Harness (E) power wire in the previously cut hole (main harness boot on firewall) and route to the battery.
5. Connect the BLACK wire to ground. Connect the RED wire to battery power. Add Inline Fuse Holder + 15 Amp Fuse (I).

Step 4 OPTION 2 – USE UPFITTER SWITCHES

1. Plug the provided 5 Core Pigtail (F) into the switch connector on the Main Harness (A). See Fig. 4 for individual wire functions.
2. Locate the upfitter switch relay in the engine bay.
3. Connect the BLACK wire to ground.
4. Connect the RED , GREY or WHITE wire to the desired upfitter switch relay. When the upfitter switch is activated, that light and pattern will trigger.
5. Unused wires should be separated and protected using heat shrink or tape.

Step 4 OPTION 3 – USE 3rd party SWITCHES

1. Plug the provided 5 Core Pigtail (F) into the switch connector on the Main Harness (A). See Fig. 4 for individual wire functions.
2. Follow the same wiring instructions from Option 2 above.

Step 5 – Test + COMPLETE

1. Test the StrobeLinkTM setup for desired functionality. Once verified, secure any wire slack with zip ties.
2. Use the provided Connector Retainers (H) to secure connections. If your vehicle is operated in a high-corrosion environment, apply dielectric grease in the connectors for additional corrosion protection.
3. If there is an unused connector exposed, use a Connector Cap (G) to cap it off. Wrap tape around the cap to secure it.
