Here is a good place to learn the basics of a relay.

run a 12 0r 10 ga wire from battery - fuse - relay - lites. use the existing wiring for the trigger on the relay.(pin 85, usually.)



I think the best route is to run the wiring back to near the power antenna, and then you can also have a 12v socket back there. gives the kids a place to plug in the dvd or videee-oh games. simply wire in the socket before the relay, so it always has power to it.

two 55 w lites=10 amp minimum fuse. plus the 12v socket- I recommend 10 ga wire and a 25 amp fuse. if you skip the socket, then 12 ga wire and a 15 amp use is prolly what you want.


mounting the lights for me was pretty easy- the holders for the old ones were pretty rusty, so I wedged them in there and used some wire ties to fasten them to the old brackets. once you get the old ones out and the new lights in hand, it will come to you.
