Illuminate Your Adventures: Why an Aurora 20" Light Bar is Perfect for Your Mitsubishi Delica Overlanding Rig

The Mitsubishi Delica: a legendary van with a cult following, renowned for its rugged 4x4 capabilities and surprising off-road prowess. If you're an overlander with a Delica, you already know the thrill of venturing beyond the beaten path. But as the sun dips below the horizon, your adventures don't have to stop. That's where the Aurora 20-inch LED light bar comes in, transforming your Delica into a true all-terrain, all-conditions explorer.

So, why is adding an Aurora 20" light bar such a game-changer for your Delica overlanding setup? Let's dive into the illuminating reasons:

1. Conquer the Darkness, Extend Your Day:

Overlanding often involves arriving at campsites late or tackling trails before dawn. The stock headlights on your Delica, while functional, can leave much to be desired in truly dark environments. An Aurora 20" light bar throws a blazing beam of light far down the trail and across your surroundings. This dramatically improves visibility, allowing you to:

• Navigate challenging terrain safely: Spot obstacles like rocks, ruts, and washouts well in advance.
• Identify wildlife: Avoid potential hazards and enjoy observing nocturnal creatures from a safe distance.
• Set up camp with ease: No more fumbling in the dark trying to pitch your tent or prepare dinner.
• Extend your driving hours: Reach those remote destinations even if daylight is fading.

2. Enhanced Safety and Peace of Mind:

Venturing into the wilderness comes with inherent risks. A powerful light bar significantly enhances your safety by:

• Increasing your visibility to others: Especially important on dusty trails or in inclement weather.
• Deterring wildlife: A bright light can sometimes discourage animals from approaching your campsite.
• Providing crucial illumination in emergency situations: Whether you need to fix a flat tire or assess a mechanical issue in the dark, the extra light is invaluable.

3. Built for the Rigors of Overlanding:

Aurora Lighting is known for its durability and ruggedness, making their light bars perfect for the demanding conditions of overlanding. A 20-inch bar offers a great balance of size and power for the Delica, without being overly bulky or draining your battery excessively. You can expect features like:

• High-quality LED chips: Providing intense and efficient light output.
• Robust aluminum housings: Designed to withstand impacts, vibrations, and the elements.
• Waterproof and dustproof ratings: Ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions.
• Durable polycarbonate lenses: Resistant to scratches and cracks.

4. The Perfect Size for Your Delica:

A 20-inch light bar strikes the sweet spot for the Mitsubishi Delica. It's:

• Compact enough to fit neatly on your front bumper, roof rack, or other mounting locations without looking oversized.
• Powerful enough to provide significant illumination without overwhelming your vehicle's electrical system (when wired correctly).
• Aesthetically pleasing, complementing the Delica's adventurous and slightly boxy design.

5. Versatile Mounting Options:

The relatively compact size of a 20-inch light bar offers flexibility in mounting. Common locations on a Delica include:

• Front bumper: Often the simplest and most direct mounting point.
• Roof rack: Provides a higher vantage point for broader illumination.
• Behind the grille: For a more integrated and subtle look.

Choosing the Right Aurora 20" Light Bar:

Aurora offers various 20-inch light bar options with different beam patterns (spot, flood, combo) and features. Consider your typical overlanding scenarios when making your choice:

• Combo beam: A popular choice for overlanding, offering a blend of focused distance lighting and wider peripheral illumination.
• Spot beam: Ideal for maximizing long-distance visibility on open trails.
• Flood beam: Excellent for illuminating a wider area around your campsite.

Mitsubishi Delica Light Bar Installation Considerations:

Proper wiring and installation are crucial for ensuring the longevity and performance of your light bar. Consider:

• Using a dedicated wiring harness with a relay and fuse to protect your vehicle's electrical system.
• Choosing a suitable mounting location that is sturdy and won't obstruct airflow to your radiator.
• Aiming the light bar correctly to maximize visibility without blinding oncoming traffic (remember to use it responsibly off-road only).

Overland Light Bar Wiring Harness

Wiring the new Aurora off road light bar to your vehicle is simple because all of our products include the appropriate wiring harness. 

Included with this product is a full wiring harness which consist of the following:

• Light Switch: CE Compliant 3 Pin Rocker switch encompassed in a water-proof housing. A red power indicator light will illuminate when the light is on, which is bright enough to be seen during the day but dim enough so it will not cause a distraction when the light bar is powered on at night.
• Relay: 4 pin water resistant relay is rated for 12 volts and 40 amps. The relay also includes a heavy-duty mount allowing for multiple mounting locations. 
• In-Line Fuse: Industry standard blade-type fuse encased in a water-resistant

  • Wiring Lengths: Aurora provides you with a total of 16 feet of wiring.
  • From the relay, you will have eight feet of wiring to the LED Light bar, four feet of wiring to the on/off switch, and four feet of wiring to the battery.
• Deutsch Connectors: The Deutsch connector has a thermoplastic housing design that is sealed to the elements with its signature integrated latch. The integrated latch wedges the terminal pins together in order to create an impenetrable seal eliminating the likelihood of moisture intrusion.

Terminal Ends: To ensure a seamless connection to your vehicle’s battery, the positive and negative battery terminal cables are equipped with soldered ring terminals covered with heat shrink tubing.
