So yeah thats where I am going with this one guys. I am good at eletrical problems but I know shit about relays. Any tips would be great.
I want to hook up two seperate pairs of lights but only have one switch in the cab. If you have a diagram that would be great.

connect each light in series and one main power wire from the relay. Make sure your relay can handle the wattage of the combined lights.

Relays are way easy to hook up. When you buy one it will have a diagram on the box. If you need more help just ask. I will be off work later tonight if you want to call. I used to hook up stuff like that for a living. I will try and find some good diagrams for you tonight.

Cool... Thanks guys for te help.
My hella lights came with a diagram but I also wanted to hook up my Baja lights on the grille to the same switch. Both lights are of different wattage so I didn't know how to calculate the combined wattage or just go off of the highest wattage....
P.S. I got these lights off of CL for 50 bucks. LOL
