12v options

[Fusco9]

Hi I just picked up a 19 big horn with black package, led lights, and tech 2. All i have is a single 12v outlet on top of the dash. There are a bunch of usb outlets but no more 12v outlets. I need to hook up an emergency light (fire department ) and the last thing I want is a cord going to the top of my dash all the time. Any idea how I can add another 12v outlet maybe in the console?

Where will your lights be? Inside or roof?

Roof with controller and power by console

Wouldn't it be cleaner and easier to wire the lights to a relay that gets its power from the battery, and use a simple switch to active the relay?

The only option I can offer would be to downgrade your lighting system a bit....

Just hard wire a triple 12V outlet into the fuse box under the steering wheel. That's what I will be doing once I get my Rebel as I have multiple lights also. Visor/Dash/Grille and also plug in GPS.

Same issue here (fire department blue light). I'm almost tempted to try this in the 115v outlet since I'm not normally using it. My blue light draws right at the 2A mark I believe.

Yes I think those would work. I haven't got my new Rebel yet. Is there a 12V socket in the rear seat console like I have on my 2014. I plug my dash light in that one and have the switch sitting in my center console. I like the center console as it has cut outs for wire so the lid closes.

The only 12v that I see in the limited is the one above the radio, unless I'm missingsomething. Everything else is USB or 115v

I never paid much attention to the center console in the 4th Gens as I had to have 6 seats when I bought mine...but the Rebel I crawled all over at truck nationals...that consult is amazing.

No 110..... that's a miss as well. I bought a usb to 12v socket. It works but there is a noticeable drop in light output. Just going to have to hardwire it..
