Let’s talk about the Ineos Grenadier. It’s a beast of a vehicle, perfect for tackling rugged trails and remote adventures. But when it comes to on-road lighting upgrades, things can get… tricky. Australian laws have some pretty strict rules: spotlights and light bars must be high-beam triggered to stay road-legal. Sounds simple, right? Not so much, especially for Ineos Grenadier owners.
Recently, we had the pleasure of tackling this challenge at Sandgate Auto Electrics. One of our customers brought in their Grenadier, eager for a serious lighting upgrade. They had their sights set on a Lighforce 50” dual-row light bar. We said, “Let’s do it!” But here’s the catch: wiring this beast legally and seamlessly wasn’t your average weekend DIY job. That’s where we come in.
The Common Problem: High-Beam Trigger Wiring
If you’ve got an Ineos Grenadier, you’ve probably heard the wiring horror stories. Many owners struggle to get spotlights or light bars wired into the high beam trigger in the vehicle. Australian laws require these lights to turn on and off with your high beams, but the unique factory wiring system on the Grenadier often clashes with traditional wiring methods. Cue the headaches.
For many Grenadier owners, this has been a roadblock—literally. Without the right setup, your lights might not meet legal requirements, which could lead to fines or safety issues. That’s why finding a professional solution is so important.
Our Solution: Seamless High-Beam Integration
At Sandgate Auto Electrics, we’ve cracked the code to solve this frustrating problem. When a customer came to us for help with their 50” Lightforce dual-row light bar, we knew we had to deliver a solution that was not only legal but also reliable and clean.
Here’s how we did it:
-
Instead of bypassing or modifying the Grenadier’s unique wiring system, we worked with it.
-
We integrated the light bar wiring directly into the factory system, ensuring that the lights turn on and off with the high beams—exactly as required by Australian law.
This approach keeps everything neat, compliant, and fully functional. No dodgy workarounds, no extra switches—just a seamless, professional installation that’s road-legal and ready for adventure.
