    Soooooo, my brother who is an electrician said to wire the hellas like this:

    2013-02-14_09-51-26_343_zpsa4d21f11_b8503c3c42a2ed31f321d11549e103605d7552ba.jpg

    Ill probably throw an inline fuse in there somewhere. Any issues with this?

    What does Hella recommend?

    Wiring them in series would have the effect of one going out making the rest go out. You'd also get a voltage drop across all four and I don't know what minimum voltage is required for them to work. However, the way he drew wouldn't have the current pull that you'd have wiring them in parallel.

    Along with the in line fuse also add a relay.

    Ok so I added the cost of wire relays fuses, connectors and switches and it put bad taste in my mouth. 60 for everything :eek: could I run 2 sets of lights wired to different switches from one relay?
