I purchased my first side by side in February this year and bought it used, I got lucky and found one with pretty much everything I wanted already installed when I got it. But recently I purchased two LED whips for it, and have had no luck getting an easy DIY explanation anywhere on exactly how to wire them in. It has light bars in front, rear and roof already. Just trying to find step by step info if possible. Thanks...

Should be a simple power and ground connections. I ran mine to my fuse block and grounded to the frame.

This is actually one of the easiest things you'll wind up doing to your machine. I ran mine straight to the battery, and use the remote to turn them on and off. Or you can even get one of these, and it makes it even easier since you won't have to worry about routing your wires down into the cab.

Depends how you want to wire it. Several ways like above poster said , straight to tail lights would work. Then turn on with remote...... I ran mine threw a fuse box to the switch just for the whip . Power threw the cage to the whip and ground to the mount.
Should be fairly simple...
1) Buy a wiring harness with switch & relay. Determine where you want to put the switch (front dash, wherever). Mictuning are good. Link below.
2) Run harness connections. One end of the harness should be a relay "cube". One strand should be going to your switch (usually 3 wire but can look like 5 depending). One strand should be going to your battery. One strand should go to the lights (red and black). Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/mictuning-Wi...HP2Q76/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499508802&sr=8-1&keywords=mictuning+harness+whip
3) Likely you'll want the switch up front on your dash, so install the relay with a screw to the outside firewall, it should have a small ring on the relay you can put a screw through. Put the battery connections on your accessory bar up front. (3 pegs, Accessory, Ground, Battery - use accessory as the power positive red wire if you only want whips on when key is turned on).
4) Route wire to whip lights - the longer of the strands should have one or two ends two it with standard red/black and likely female connectors already on it. You may want to run this underneath your machine or through your center console and out the back near where the engine is).
5) make sure they're zip tied down to your machine securely all along the way.
6) connect to whip lights (if you buy a harness with two ends this should make it easier)
7) Cut out where you want to put the switch on your dash- Youcan dremel it out, or I recommend just heating up a box cutter to melt its way through. You can usually eyeball this or use a pencil with the switch as a reference.
8) find the strand of the harness that goes to the switch (usually 5 wire, 2black, 2 red, and one white but colors can vary based on manufacturer). Connect these to the appropriate part of the back of the switch see https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41bh6IY2FCL.jpg for details
connect, and install the switch in the hole cutout on your dash wiring the connections from the relay through the round rubber grommet in the front of the firewall.
9) enjoy.

Hope it helps.
