Adding Chase Light Bar?

I want to add a chase light so my buddies don't fly into me at night or down a dusty trail. So I found a cool one then realized a couple things like... how will I make this work? Do I have a reverse light? (That's a big nope) So... Is it there or able to be tapped into?

On the back of my 2019 XP4T I have these 2 adapters hanging out. It makes me think I use these for running things like a chase light bar/led whip.

I want to run this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074NVHHBN/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A116L043WXZSN7&psc=1

Do I need an adapter/relay or can I tap into the additional adapters wiring?

I have that same exact chase light. I bought a plug that my passenger tail light plugs into and has tail light and brake light wires coming out the side. I wired those wires directly to that light bar. No relays. No wire for the center clear back up light. Keep in mind the brake lights on the bar only work when the engine is running for some reason.

I used a Baja Designs chase light but I also tapped into that harness that you posted (I have a 2018 xpt4).

I don't recall which wire was which, but I used a multimeter to see which wire had 12 volts once I turned the key on. That's the one I tapped my running lights into. Then, I checked to see which wire got 12 volts once I had brake pressed. that's the one I tapped my brake wire into. I kept the cargo/reverse light on a switch.

hope that helps

I purchased an in-line "y" adapter that plugged into the tail light harness. I wired the two outside red to my brake lights.
The center amber is wired to the running lights. That way the amber are always on when the key is on.
There are blue strobes on either side of the amber lights. These are on a separate switch but I only use them at night.
There are two clear lights between the red and the blue. I haven't wired them yet for back up lights.

I don't think its wired to be that way. It's a 3 position switch...off/on/ momentary.
In off, its off. It lights when you turn it to the on position iirc.

If you have wired switches before, it should easily be fixed to your liking but you may have to tie it into one of the existing wires.
I have the same lightbar but i took it apart and modified it. I also had to change the wiring at the switch.

It should be a simple task though
