Dang they are 300 bucks on ebay.... screw that.

PCP didn't have any of them.

I just hate to turn them on every time my fogs turn on. I use my fogs regularly and don't want any trouble with Johnny Law...

I think I've used my fogs all of about three times on pavement in the first five years I owned the truck, so it was a no brainer for me. I mainly use them when I'm around cypress knees and stumps which is also a spot where I'd want the off-road lights on too, so I have no problem with them being wired to the same switch...

Nice job mounting them. You are as bad as I am at putting stuff off.

Yeah, idk.

Random question, but instead of starting a new thread. A relay. How do I know what way to wire it up? I mean there are four prongs, one goes to the lights, on to the switch, on the power, and one to ground. But what number on it goes where??

your pulling 22 amps with two 130 watt lights. you got big enough wire and enough fuse there?

12 gauge for anything carrying power, 16 or 18 is fine to run the switch. 30A relay minimum (but I'd use a 40) and 25A fuse.

Doing good, the problem was a bad connection on the positive side of the battery. I Think it happened when my ratchet connected both sides of the batter at the same time. IDK, all I know is that its all nicely connected now.... tight...
