DV8 Offroad 40 Amp Wire Harness with DT Connector and Switch
DV8 Offroad 40 Amp Wire Harness with DT Connector and Switch
Couldn't load pickup availability
The DV8 Offroad 40 Amp Wire Harness (UNWH-03) is a single-light wiring solution for auxiliary light bars and pod lights that use a 2-pin Deutsch (DT) connector. Built from 14-gauge copper wire with a 40-amp fuse and 60-amp relay, it delivers protected, consistent power without improvised splicing or undersized wiring. Available in quantities of one, two, three, or four harnesses to match the number of lights in a build.
Clean, Protected Power for One Light
The UNWH-03 pairs a 40-amp in-line fuse with a 60-amp relay, so the circuit is protected both at the source and at the load. The 14-gauge copper conductors handle the current a single light bar or pod light draws without voltage drop or heat buildup that thinner wire invites. A 1-foot power and ground lead with ring terminals connects directly to the battery or distribution block for a secure, corrosion-resistant termination.
Plug-and-Play Installation with a Dedicated Switch
The 10-foot lead terminates in a 2-pin male Deutsch connector that mates directly with DV8 Elite Series light bars and pod lights, eliminating adapter pigtails. The separate 8-foot lead ends in a round metal-housing switch sized for a standard dash or A-pillar hole, giving the driver direct control without a relay module wired in separately. Professional installation is recommended; drilling is required to mount the switch.
Multi-Harness Quantities for Larger Builds
The UNWH-03 is sold in single, pair, three-harness, and four-harness quantities, so a build with two or four individually switched lights can be kitted in one order. For setups that need to run multiple lights from a single switched circuit using the same DT connector type, DV8 recommends pairing this harness with the UNWH-01 and UNWH-02 for proper load distribution rather than daisy-chaining from one UNWH-03.

Who This Is For and Isn't
This harness suits any vehicle owner adding a single DT-connector auxiliary light (a light bar or pod light) who wants a fused, relay-protected circuit with a dedicated dash switch and clean ring-terminal battery connections rather than a bare wire tap.
The UNWH-03 is not designed to power more than one light from a single harness; running multiple lights on one connector type requires the UNWH-01 and UNWH-02 instead. It is also not compatible with lights that use a connector other than the 2-pin Deutsch (DT) type.
Common Questions
How many lights can one UNWH-03 harness power?
Each DV8 Offroad UNWH-03 wire harness is designed to power one light. Running multiple lights that share the same DT connector type requires pairing the UNWH-01 with the UNWH-02 for proper load distribution rather than adding a second light to a single UNWH-03.
Which DV8 lights does this harness connect to directly?
The UNWH-03 terminates in a 2-pin male Deutsch (DT) connector that mates directly with DV8 Elite Series light bars and pod lights, including the 13-inch and 20-inch Elite Series LED light bars and the 3-inch Elite Series LED and flush-mount pod lights in both standard and amber versions.
Does the switch require drilling to install?
Yes. The 8-foot switch lead on the DV8 Offroad UNWH-03 ends in a round metal-housing switch that mounts in a drilled hole in the dash, A-pillar, or panel. Professional installation is recommended, and the full harness install is estimated at approximately one hour.
What is included with each harness?
Each DV8 Offroad UNWH-03 includes a 10-foot lead with a 2-pin male Deutsch connector, an 8-foot lead with a round metal-housing switch, and a 1-foot power and ground lead with an in-line fuse and ring terminals. The 40-amp fuse and 60-amp relay are part of the harness assembly.
Is there a Proposition 65 warning for this product?
Yes. WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and lead compounds, DEHP, and bisphenol A (BPA), which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
