Rock lights are one of the easiest lighting upgrades you can do in a driveway. Our RGB and Pure White rock light kits are completely plug-and-play and ship with the harness, waterproof connectors, gaskets and mounting hardware. They're also expandable, so you can add more lights later. Here's how to get a clean, reliable install.
What you'll need
- Your rock light kit
- Basic hand tools and a drill (or Magnet Mounts if you don't want to drill)
- Zip ties and wire loom for routing
- A switch harness or the Wireless Switch Panel for power
Step 1: Plan your placement
Lay the lights out before you mount anything, and aim every light down and slightly out. How you spread them depends on your kit size:
- 4, 6 or 8 lights: wheel wells only, one or two lights per wheel well.
- 12 or 16 lights: three per wheel well, or the wheel wells plus a couple down each side.
- 24 lights: a full 360° layout with three under the front bumper, three under the rear bumper, three per wheel well and three down each side.
- 32 lights: the 360° layout plus extra lights through the center for crew cab long beds.
- 40 lights: everything above, plus lights over the front axle, rear axle and driveline for zero shadows, with extras for the engine bay.
Space the lights so the pools of light overlap with no dark gaps. Full sizing breakdown: how many rock lights you need.
Step 2: Mount the lights
Use the included hardware for a permanent mount, or snap each light onto a Magnet Mount to stick it to any steel surface with zero holes in your fenders or frame. Magnet mounts also let you reposition a light later. Keep lights away from exhaust components and anything that moves, like suspension, steering and driveshafts.
Step 3: Route the wiring
Plug each light into the main harness and run the leads along the frame, securing them every foot or so with zip ties. Use loom where wires pass near sharp edges. Leave slack at the suspension so nothing pulls tight at full droop. Lifted trucks and long wheelbases sometimes need Rock Light Extensions to reach. They plug in with no cutting or splicing.
Step 4: Power it through a fused harness
Never tap random factory circuits. Run power through a harness with a relay and inline fuse, so a small switch safely controls the lights and your truck's wiring stays protected. Our Dual Harness includes a waterproof switch, fuse and relay. Running several accessories? The Wireless 6-Switch Panel handles up to six with no wires through the firewall.
Step 5: Test and set up the app
RGB kits connect over Bluetooth to your iPhone or Android for colors, brightness and modes. Pure white kits switch on and off from your harness or switch panel. Test every light before you tidy up the final wiring.
Rock light install tips
- Aim lights at the ground, not at other drivers.
- Seal every connection with the included gaskets. The kits are IP69 rated, but only if the connectors are fully seated.
- Want more coverage later? Kits are expandable, so just plug in more single rock lights.
- Check local laws on driving with colored lights on public roads.
