Picture:

The top picture I think is what you have. The bottom picture is what you want. The top is considered series where if one light goes out they all go out. The bottom is parallel where if one light goes out the other 5 stay on. If the power goes into the + side of each light and you have every - on each light ground to the chassis then you are running a parallel circuit which is what you want. You may also want to try running two relays and hooking 3 lights up to each(try disconnecting 3 lights first to see if it will work). You can also try running the ground wire back up to the battery which will help current flow because the chassis can act like a giant resistor thus slowing down the flow of electrons.
