How do I make a harness for dual light bar

As the title says, how the heck do I make one.

I recently got my Cali Raised Dual Lightbar and it come with three exposed wires. A ground and two positive, but I have no idea how to wire that to my switchpro.

I was thinking of adding a female pigtail two both positive wires and then using 18awg-3 with male pigtails then running it to the switch.

How the heck do I wire pigtails to one ground and will there be an issue going from 18awg to 14awg(pigtail) and then 14awg(pigtail) to 18awg. Im new to this

By dual light bar I am assuming its dual function such as amber and white lights that can be cut on separately. With that said the wiring to SwitchPro is pretty straight forward. Lets say switches 1 and 2 are open. All you need to do is put the ground under switch one ground, one positive under switch 1 positive, and the other positive on switch 2 positive. That's it! Switch one will cut on white light and switch 2 for amber, depending on what switch the positives are hooked to. If you want it opposite of how its initially hooked up (different light come on with different switch) then just swap the positives.

On the other hand, if by dual light bar you mean two rows of lights and there is a positive for each row, all you have to do is put the ground under switch one ground and the two positives under the positive on switch one. You will be under the 30 amp threshold per switch so its once again simple as it gets!

Yeah its a dual function light, with amber and white.

Let me make sure I got this right.

On one Connector connect both the negative and positive.
Second connector connect only the positive

That's correct! You said you basically had a pigtail coming from the light with 1 ground and 2 positives. Pick two switches that you want to use and do exactly as you said. One of the switches on the SwitchPro will have the negative and one of the positives connected and the other switch will only have the other positive connected!

are you using a terminal and ground buss bar with your switchpro?
if yes, ground to buss bar then 1st positive to switch 1 then 2nd positive to switch 2.
switch 1 or 2 is whatever is open.

hope this helps.

Ill be adding my own pigtails, just didn't know how to wire them. Sounds simple enough now. Ill probably look into just hardwiring it to the switchpro. I appreciate the help!

Thanks!

Yeah, got it. Ill do that once I get my wire in. I was trying to add a pigtail but U probably will not do that and just hardwire it to the switch pro.
