Came across a good deal on a 50" off amazon. Ya Ya, get what you pay for. I'm just curious why they would all work, but the furthest section from the harness. Could it be a voltage issue? My jeep is not running yet, but I do have a new yellow too optima that I've hooked the lightbar up to to test it out. When I flip the switch, there is an instant flicker from the end section, but doesn't come on. Al other lights work and are super bright. Any thoughts? Grounds are going straight to the battery. 40A 12v relay. Don't have a volt meter. Just wondering if voltage could damper partial sections of an LED bar.

So the wires out of the light are too short, so I hooked it up to my "jump" box and it wouldn't come on at all. But when it's wired thought the harness, it will. I'm going to charge everything up and give it a whirl.

If you have some scrap pieces of wire laying around. Twist them to each of the light wires to make em long enough to reach battery terminals. Don't let them touch any metal though and it should work. That's how I've done to test them
