Honda Pioneer 1000 Add a Light Bar Kit
There are 3 kits featured here.
I think so, I already have the dual reverse lights from the Hondasxs store. I was planning on adding the work light trigger kit. Just wanted to make sure that when it’s in work light mode it is pulling from the secondary battery. And that having it wired to be able to do that wouldn’t cause any interference with anything.
No interference when using our backup lights.
This is pretty brilliant, I couldn't figure out how this could work until I started testing the harness. I plan on not using the switch included but using an Auxbeam switch instead. Took me a good hour to figure out how this could work until I realized that on the Honda side, the plug isn't grounded unless the Pioneer is in reverse. I guess I expected it to be constantly grounded. I'll be using a relay with the Auxbeam switch to make it work the way I want, and might lose the always off option (have a work around for this, but don't think I need it). As usual, the wiring from the club store products is great and items get delivered quickly. Great work.
Top rear ROP if it's from the Club Store. First shopping place for any thing Honda for me!
It's not quite that easy. It took us a while to figure out this item.

I think the way it works it that when the Pioneer is put in reverse, the Honda side plug is supplied power and ground at that time. I think those circuits are both open until it is placed in reverse. Haven't actually tested this yet, but I think that is how it works. I think the switch harness terminates the power supply from the Honda side, so it isn't used. It is the switching of the ground that makes it work. You have to supply power to the harness and that is why you can hook it up to an aux battery and not have it draw at all on the factory battery. Of course anyone who could source and make this themselves, but I don't know why anyone would want to. They have it all figured out. You cannot simply toggle the ground, but if you are like me and want to do something different with the switch, you can use a relay and use the factory switches or something else if you want to. That is what I plan to do. I never intended to use the included switch, but it was well worth it to me to buy the harness since it is so well put together. When I first got on this site, I was a bit skeptical about the Club Store, but now that is the first place I look for anything for my Pioneer. The products don't disappoint, the shipping, packaging and communication are all top notch.
I bought Amazon cheapo flush mount leds. I just cut the tailgate and recessed then into it.
They hang from the bottom of the ROPS, so below the roof. Your tool box lid would likely block the light when open.
I had some there also on a separate switch. They get knocked off almost every time we're out so I quit putting them back on. That's the flaw with the 3 seat. The roof line sucks. The 5 seat slides around trees easily. With the 3 seat it goes to the end of the cab then slides down the rear of the cab and rips the light off.
