K so if someone could chime in and let me know if this will work or not.

I've got a set of oro rock lights that I want to wire up. They are 6 individual pods. Two on each side and one front and one rear. My thought is to run a power and a ground wire from the rear pod to the front and just use wire taps to tap into the lines so i don't have to keep splicing and cutting. Will that work? Or is there an easier way? I figure this way I will only have one ground and one power wire to hook into my under hood box.

Does that make since??

 

I would take the time to splice and heat shrink with adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. You are going to want the wiring water proof. You can run your lights in series, one ground one power and splice in the way you are thinking with the wire taps. Those crimp on wire taps suck, they will corrode and they will fail. Its not a matter of if, but when. Best way would be to solder(sp?) Your connections. A little extra time now will save you hours of trouble shooting later when lights stop working.

 

The JEEP’s tub is grounded so you shouldn’t have to run a second from the rear wire for a ground, just hook the ground wire to the tub. As far as quick connectors go, I do not recommend them. The will get wet, let water into the wire because of the punctures in the insulation. Best thing to do is; splice, solder, silicone, and heat shrink each connection. Its more work, but it’s better to take a little more time and do the job right the first time

 

Well I just finished soldering all the connections it took about 2 hours total it was a lot longer than I thought it would take but like everyone has said its better to spend a little longer on it and do it right the first time. So I got everyone connected now I just have to run all the wires and hook it up so I hope I did it correctly. It may not be the best looking soldering ever but I'm pretty sure it will get the job done!
