ASG Lighting Kit installation guidance


Thank you for your purchase of the ASG Offroad interior lighting kit and welcome to the ASG Offroad family!!


This plug and play kit has been hand-crafted to pair with your camper, yet provides you with the flexibility to choose your own path on how you decide to integrate it to your build.

Below I’ve put together a few steps that follow how the ASG Offroad build is set up. Feel free to follow along and/or make it your own…


ASG Offroad Lighting Kit includes the following...

  • Power leads (newer kits include a single lead with cigarette plug and a power splitter).
  • Enough 4-pin extension cables to connect "downstairs" and "upstairs" lighting to their respective controller.
  • "Downstairs"
    • 3 x 19" HardKorr light bars (with removable diffuser)
    • 1 x controller (flush mount with SP X1 kit)
      • Dimmable and color changing (white, off-white, and orange)
  • "Upstairs"
    • 1 x 10" HardKorr light bar (with removable diffuser)
    • 1 x controller (flush mount with SP X1 kit)
      • Dimmable and color changing (white, off-white, and orange)
    • SP X1 kits ONLY - 150" of Leitner Designs Wirelok (for hiding wiring in the t-channels of the upstairs portion of the camper).
  • One "double remote" included with the purchase wireless controller option.

Steps of the ASG integration…

  1. Get organized and lay out everything in a “staging area” of sorts so everything is easily identifiable.
    1. Set the 3 x 19" HardKorr light bars, 1 x controller, and the four (4)  smallest orange-ended cords off to the side for the “down stairs” area.
      1. You may not need all four orange-ended cords depending on the Make/Model of your truck.
    2. Set the 10” HardKorr light bar, 1 x controller, remaining orange-ended cords, and Leitner Designs Wirelok covers to the side for the “up stairs” area.
  2. Prep your rig/camper to include power management.
    1. It’s very helpful to have a wiring sketch or diagram of where you’d like to have power sources…etc.

Downstairs portion

  1. Once the lighting kit's power source location has been identified, run the cigarette plug power cord (some kits may have two power cords whereas the newer ones have a single power cord and power cord splitter) to the designated power source.
    1. SP X1 campers use the camper’s fuselage/wire management chase that is built into the camper.
  2. Connect the other end to the HardKorr switch controllers.
    1. If your kit includes the power cord splitter, you’ll want to connect this to the main power cord first so you can run power individually to each controller.
  3. Take the largest three (3) light bars and place them in the desired locations within the camper using the adhesive on the back of the light bar.
    1. We placed ours on the Driver and Passenger side (mid-way from the front and back), and on the rear of the camper.
      1. SP X1 campers - You may want to affix the rear bar to the lip that acts as a water channel to direct rainwater away from the hatch opening.  This will allow more light to shine down on the tailgate.
  4. Take the four (4) smallest orange cables and stage them to wire up the “down stairs” lighting.
    1. Connect the first orange cable to the orange lead on the “down stairs” controller and the other end to the closest light bar.
    2. In a daisy chain series connect the remaining light bars with the orange-ended cords.
      1. Continue this process until the “down stairs” area is wired up.
        1. SP X1 campers - This process of feeding the wiring around the corners can be tricky.  Tying a zip tie to one end helped me quite a bit.

Upstairs portion

  1. Like the downstairs portion you’ll start with the power cord and connect it to the HardKorr controller.
  2. We then ran the orange-ended cords forward towards the front of the truck on the bed platform.
    1. We tucked ours in on the drivers side and affixed it where the aluminum extrusion meets the tent material with long ½” strips of Gorilla Tape.  Using Gorilla Tape is at your own risk being that if you decide to remove it later there will be adhesive to remove (it’s very tough stuff).
  3. We then tucked the cord in the upper t-track and ran it toward the rear of the camper (video showing this is HERE).
    1. SP X1 campers - This is where the Leitner WireLok comes in handy to secure/hide the wiring.
    2. GFC campers - you can use the enclosed zip-tie sticky mounts to attach the cord to the roofline of the camper.
  4. Lastly, we attached the 10” light bar to the rear t-track, tucked everything in, and All Systems were Go for Offroad!!

Again, this is more guidance from how we set up our camper…feel free to take what you’d like, and discard what isn’t needed to make it your own.
