Slick Gadget Wirelessly Controls Aftermarket Lights on Your Dodge
If you have a Dodge vehicle with off-road lights or LED accents, now you can control them without running wires into the cabin.
If you have added any sort of aftermarket lighting accessories to your Dodge truck, car, SUV or van, you likely know that one of the toughest parts of the job can be running a wire into the cabin. Modern vehicles have so much wiring and other items packed along the firewall that it can be hard to find a clear path to run a wire into the cabin to control your aftermarket off-road lights or LED accent lighting. Then, once you get the wire into the cabin, you have to install a switch or tap into an existing switch, but a cool new product from Quake LED eliminates the need for that interior wiring and the switch.
The Quake LED Universal 60A light controller allows you to power and control up to eight different lights with a box under the hood and a remote control. No running wires to the interior and no random switches while being able to control all of your lights from outside of your Dodge.
Adding LEDs to Your Dodge
Say that you have a new Ram 1500 and you added LED fog lights in the front bumper, a set of cube lights on the A-pillar and a light bar running across the top of the windshield. In most cases, each of those lighting upgrades can be purchased with a ready-made harness that allows you to easily connect the lights to power and ground, but those prepared harnesses are thick and are tough to fit through the firewall.
Maybe you have a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and you have an LED light bar in the hood scoop that glows red, like the Mopar muscle car shown here. The install is very simple until it comes to running the wire into the cab, as the Challenger firewall is cluttered and tough to access.
In both of these scenarios, the Quake LED Universal 60A light controller makes life much easier. You install the control box under the hood, connecting it to power and ground. You then plug each of your LED accessory lights into the box, and that is the whole install. Once your lights are plugged into the Quake LED light controller, the remote will allow you to turn all of those lights on and off with a push of a button. The remote is small enough to comfortably fit in your pocket, so you can carry it around with your keys and turn your aftermarket lights on from a distance.
Gladiator in Action
In the video above from the Quake LED YouTube channel, Grant Keller walks us through the function of the 60A light controller. He explains how it works, running through all of the various features of the product. The video ends with a look at a new Jeep Gladiator with a ton of aftermarket lights. Keller shows us how easily he can turn certain lights on and off, or how he can turn everything on or off together.
The other key aspect of the video is the number of lights on the Jeep pickup. This truck is covered with lights, yet the 60A controller box has no issue handling all of that power. As Keller says in the video, it is hard to overload the Quake LED controller and in the long run, most basic aftermarket lighting systems will come nowhere near the limits of this handy item.
If you have aftermarket LED lights and you don’t want to deal with running a wire into the cabin or finding a place for a switch, this light-controller system is an awesome option.
