DIY Install: How to Wire Your Oracle Rock Lights Like a Pro
When the sun sets, your lighting setup defines your adventure. Whether you’re lighting a trail, showing off your build at a meet, or adding style to your undercarriage, Oracle Rock Lights are engineered to perform — and yes, you can install them yourself.
If you’re ready to take your ride from “stock” to standout, this guide walks you through how to wire your Oracle Rock Lights like a pro.
Step 1: Choose Your Setup
Before you start wrenching, decide how you want your lights to function:
-
Manual switch control: Connect your lights to a dash-mounted toggle for simple on/off operation.
-
Trigger Controller: Integrate your lights with the Oracle TRIGGER 6 SHOOTER system for full Bluetooth control and scene presets.
-
Vehicle lighting sync: Tie your rock lights into your running lights or courtesy system for an OEM-style glow effect.
💡 Pro Tip: Plan your lighting zones before wiring — wheel wells, undercarriage, grille, and cargo areas all benefit from targeted illumination.
Step 2: Plan Your Wiring Path
Good installs are clean installs. Map out where each light will mount, then trace your wiring path back to your power source. Use split loom tubing or heat-shrink wire wrap to protect cables from abrasion and debris.
Oracle Rock Lights come with extended leads and waterproof connectors for flexible routing, so you can position your pods exactly where you need them — even on lifted or modified vehicles.
⚙️ Tools You’ll Need: Drill with small bit, crimp connectors, heat shrink, 12V inline fuse, ring terminals, and a wiring harness (included in Oracle kits).
Step 3: Power and Ground
All Oracle Rock Lights operate on 12V DC power. Connect your red (positive) wire to your fused power source and your black (negative) wire to a solid metal ground point on the chassis.
For multi-zone or Bluetooth control, connect your power lead into your TRIGGER controller input instead of a manual switch. This gives you wireless control via the TRIGGER app — adjust brightness, color, or patterns from your phone.
⚡ Safety First: Always disconnect your battery before wiring to avoid shorts or electrical damage.
Step 4: Mount and Seal
Each rock light pod includes stainless steel hardware and rubber isolation gaskets. Mount your pods securely, ensuring the lens faces outward for optimal light dispersion.
Once installed, seal any exposed connections with dielectric grease to prevent corrosion and water intrusion.
🌧️ Off-Road Ready: All Oracle Rock Lights feature IP68 waterproofing, meaning they’re ready for mud, water crossings, and pressure washes.
Step 5: Test and Tidy Up
Once everything’s connected, test your system before finalizing your wire routing. Power on your lights, verify all pods illuminate, and check for even brightness.
Tuck away extra wiring, secure it with zip ties, and admire your work. You’ve just wired a professional-grade lighting system worthy of the trail.
Step 6: Take It Further
Once you’ve mastered your rock light install, it’s easy to add other Oracle accessories — LED mirrors, underbody kits, or halo headlights — using the same 12V connection principles.
The more you integrate, the more control and cohesion you’ll have over your build’s entire lighting ecosystem.
