Best way to wire light bar

Hi chaps

Looking to wire some accessories shortly and after some advice on how to tackle it, firstly starting with the roof rack laser light bar.

I have a blue sea fuse box and carling switches, and will want to tie in with full beam

and still be able to turn on and off via the carling, how would be best to?

Best thing to do is wire the main beam trigger wire through the carling switch. If the switch is on then the light bar will illuminate with the main beam and if it's off then it won't

Then use power via the blue sea fuse box to a relay controlled by said switched trigger

Ah sounds like a good idea

where would be best to pick up the trigger wire? Near the light?

Probably the high beam tell tale wire behind the dash
