Default New Lights

Got some new lights, 2 Pilot 100w beams or driving lights (a mix between the two) and 2 wally world 55w driving lights (actually bright for $20)

now i just need some on the roof, about 4, to make it look complete (by the way if anyone puts a light on the roof in the rear for the bed and splices to the dome light, the ground is what feeds power or something, in my hand it turned on and off but when screwed to the metal of the roof it was constantly on as was my inside light, so velcro works great sense its easy to turn now lol)

I had (4) 100 watt lights on a push bar I had on a ranger back in the day. Was too much draw for the system. When I flipped them all on with the lights the truck would hardly idle! Looks good though!

35 amps, i have (2) 100w and (4) 55w lights and a 55w on the back, plus my headlights (dont know how much draw those are, but in total for the acc. lights its about 420 watts.

For the battery I have a cheapy, "Super Start" or something like that but the alternators bigger than OEM, don't know how much bigger though. I also have Airhorns and a siren hooked up to it too
