How to Wire Up a Powered Winch Mounted at Rear of Truck

Question:

I have a 2013 Sierra with the 7 blade plug. Would like to add a 4k winch and some LED spot lights and bars for better loading at night. What would be the best way to wire this up with out cause damage to the truck or any of the wiring harness? Thanks in advanced.

I attached a help article that details exactly what is required for wiring up a winch, but for your setup you would want to go with a wiring kit like part # BDW20043. This will run wires up directly to the battery.

LED lights draw a very small amount, so you could power them pretty easily off of the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way which is in the 1:00 pin position.
