[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1727191, member: 21926"] The first thing you need to do is know the current draw for each respective pair of lights. For Gen 2, you have 2x 15amp up fitters available on #’s 1 & 2. One switch may not be enough for all 6 lights. Or you may want them to be selectable. If you run 2 or more pairs on the same circuit, you will probably want to wire in a relay. It’s easier than it sounds. So, at first, I opted to split up the light pairs per up fitter. Now I have more lights than available up fitters so there’s some ... stacking ;-) for simplicity, you could grab a close by ground wire, and take each pair’s hot to an up fitter. If you want to combine lights on to a single up fitter, you should go for a relay. A relay is a fancy switch. you wire ground and power directly from the battery to the relay. There is a ‘trigger’ post, which connects to the up fitter. That will energize the relay ‘coil’ and switch to activate your lights. basically. maybe your harness already has a relay? Oh, and Welcome to FRF, pics or you have a prius. We’ll give you a grace period on the pics but don’t dawdle. I’ve already got your provisional prius pic selected. [/QUOTE]
