Default Steering column wiring

Ok so my friend just bought a new truck that had a bunch of lights added to it and when we were looking at the lights they by passed the battery and they connected them to some wires under the steering column and i was wondering if any one could first tell me what wires they are connected to and if they can handle any more lights being connect to them

Thanks in advance

English. Speak it.


Rewire the lights while you are at it.

Umm, yes you should rewire them. The factory switches can barely handle the stock lites.

How can we tell you what wires your lights are connected to that some one else installed? You have the truck not us. If they were stock lights that's another story. it sounds like someone did a half *** job piggy backing off of other random wires. If you have extra lights you should really think about rewiring them to there own relay. I don't trust anyone else doing my wiring unless there pro's. It sounds like a fire waiting to happen.
