Frequently Asked Questions
How much does LED light bar installation cost?
Pricing depends on the size, brand, and wiring complexity. Basic installs start at a few hundred dollars, while multi-light setups with switch panels cost more. We provide accurate estimates after a consultation.
Are aftermarket LED headlights street legal in Colorado?
Yes—if they are DOT compliant and properly aimed. We install and aim DOT-approved systems that improve visibility without blinding other drivers.
How long does custom wiring take?
A basic fog light setup may take 2–3 hours. Full accessory wiring and switch-panel installs can take a full day or longer. We give exact timelines upfront.
Do you install dual-battery systems for overlanding?
Yes. We design and install dual-battery setups with isolators to run fridges, lights, and accessories without draining your starting battery.
Why did my aftermarket lights fail shortly after installation?
Improper wiring—such as wrong fuse sizes, poor grounds, or thin-gauge wire—is usually the cause. We build systems with correct wiring and professional connections.
Do you repair electrical issues in older vehicles?
Absolutely. We locate shorts, corroded wires, poor grounds, and other faults in both modern and classic vehicles.
Why choose professional wiring over DIY kits?
Professional wiring prevents overheating, blown circuits, and electrical fires. We use proper gauge wires, relays, fuses, sealed connectors, and clean routing for long-term reliability.
Can you design a complete electrical system for my overland vehicle?
Yes—we regularly design and build integrated systems that include lighting, power distribution, compressors, inverters, and communications equipment tailored to your needs.
