Default Installed Driving lights

I got to install my driving lights, it was pretty easy to install and they work great, even help me see better in the snow on the back roads.

Thanks, I went with the Hella Optilux 55 watt ones from summit racing only thing i did was switch the switch that came with them to one that lights up when they are on so I remember to turn them off.

Did you use any relays to wire these up, or just a 12 volt circuit?

I have the floor console, I mounted it just below the 4 wheel drive switch between the dash and the console. It is a little further to reach for it but I thought is was a good space.
