Installation instruction

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).

• Note: 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 (sold separately).
• An example configuration is shown on the next page for reference.

EXAMPLE configuration
This example uses Harness Kit #BB8KB04, 4x Perimeter Strobe #BB6110B and 1x 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 grille lights and rear lights in groups (rather than individually), first plug the Switch Harness (B) into the Main Harness (A). Remove the pigtails from all perimeter strobe lights and plug the lights into the Main Harness (A).
3. Using the switch panel, turn on Mode 1. To program the grille lights, toggle the Front Select switch to select the pattern. Press less than 1 second to go to the next pattern and 2 seconds to go back to the previous one. Turn off Front Select, turn on Rear Select (includes both roof and rear lights) and repeat the process. Turn off the Mode 1 switch. Turn on Mode 2 and repeat the pattern selection process. Turn off the Mode 2 switch. Note: You can select different patterns for front or rear on Mode 1 and/or Mode 2. Refer to the Perimeter Strobe Light manual for the sequence of available flash patterns, or locate your digital manual here.
4. Once complete, disconnect the Perimeter Strobe Lights. You may leave them connected to the Y splitter adapters you’ve laid out, but leave them unplugged from the Main Harness (A). Disconnect the Switch Harness (B) from the Main Harness (A).
5.  To program each light individually, use the female pigtail that came with the perimeter strobe light (Fig. 2).
6. See Fig. 3 for individual wire functions. Refer to the perimeter strobe light instructions to program the ,  , and WHITE wires to desired strobe patterns.
7. If programmed individually, unplug the pigtail(s). Plug the perimeter strobe lights into the Y splitter adapters you’ve laid out, but leave them unplugged from the Main Harness (A). The 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 the provided Connector Caps (D). Capping the connectors is highly recommended to prevent dirt or greas  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 (D) 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 (D) 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.
7. 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:

1. Use the 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 (B) and the pigtail to reach the power source.

Each option is outlined individually.

Step 4 OPTION 1 – Use the provided switch panel

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

Step 4 OPTION 2 – USE UPFITTER SWITCHES

1. Plug the provided 5 Core Pigtail (C) 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 wire to the ground.
4. Connect the or G wire to the desired up fitter switch relay. When the upfitter switch is activated, that light and pattern will trigger. WHITE and wires are used for pattern change.
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 (C) 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 (E) 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 (D) to cap it off. Wrap tape around the cap to secure
