so im not exactlly good with the wiring and amps and whatnot.

i plan on installing 4 of them, i think someone else has done it on here before.

what would be a sufficient wire and amps to run 4 hellas, with 100wt bulbs. they will all go into one switch.

have two relays, one for each pair. you can hook up both realys to the same switch. once you get them, read the instructions and see if you can get it. we'll help you out with details if you need help after reading it.

Damn Silver, you thread *****!!! Every other post is yours!!! lmao You know, Silver had trouble with his lights too... just so you know! Im kidding buddy, Nick k nows more than enough to help you out!

I got my rocker switch at autozone for like $6, if I remember right. I had the wiring already, but 14 Ga will run ya somewhere around $15 on a high note. Make sure you buy the in line fuse too, another few bucks.

I gave a link earlier for the writeup, in my first post on this thread. But here you go... https://dodgeforum.com/forum/diy-do-...-properly.html

My friend has four of these lights with the 55w bulbs, but wired with 12 Ga wiring. His are on the outside of his bumper on a bar, and my two 100w bulbs smoke his lights!!! Hands down. The light is more than enough to actually be useful. Im run with them on most of the time at night, until I get HID's.

Heres where I have mine mounted. On the left side of the steering wheel, next to my dummy switch, which is the one on the right. Name:  winchlights002.jpg

I would say a 15-20 amp fuse will be plenty, but you might want somebody to second that one. Im running a 15 for two lights on 14 Ga. Plenty, especially for a 30A rocker.

here you can see the in line fuse...



heres the difference in 55w and 100w. Can you tell the difference? Some cant...

They only allow 2 or 3 returns within a year if you don't have a reciept. It's based on Driver license history with them. They won't even give cash refund, just store credit. Target is the same way.

I don't buy from Amazon anymore. NYS gets charged sales tax for anything purchased from Amazon regardless of where the seller is located. Thanks to the Governer...jerk....lol
