    You are the first person I always think of when it comes to wiring. So my questions is, how would I wire ditch lights? Run a positive from the battery with an inline fuse to a switch in the fire wall and then run two positive wires from the switch, one to each light? Also run the negative from the battery to the switch and then from the switch to each light? Or am I missing something?

    Just buy a 10 or 12 dollar harness off eBay. Makes it super easy & comes with everything you need, they even come with a relay. Just make sure to get one for ditch lights, it will have 2 leads on it.

    You can "easily" wire it yourself using a relay and running the wires, but that does take some time. A harness is faster, but not always all that easy either, specifically trying to get it through the firewall grommet, not too bad though. Just make sure its a quality harness with at least 14 to 16 gauge wire minimum for the wire from relay to lights. You'll at the least need to run some wires from the switch to the leads that come through the firewall.

    I'll message you an explanation in a minute

    I didn't have a problem getting the switch wire through the firewall, went in with the main harness. Did it twice, once for my ditch light & again for my light bar.

    Sorry, I meant with the typical harnesses where they come with a switch already on it, but I suppose that wouldn't matter - edited original post

    That may be why it wasn't too hard for me, I didn't use the switch that came with them & cut the wires behind the plug. I used Cruiser Heads switches.
    I didn't have to run any additional wires, just the 3 that go to the switch.

    Hmm, I have used OTRATTW and the CH4x4's look similar, but like you said, 2 less wires to run, pretty cool

    The Cruiser Heads is CH4x4. They actually have 4 wires but 3 from the harness. 12v, to relay & ground. The 4th is for dash lights.

    I just ordered a bunch of those WAGO connectors for my led lighting. I didn't have any at the time so I did it the long ass way. Decided to order the WAGO connectors, how much did that make this job more clean and easy? Also, did you sand down any of your leds so they don't have that "spot" beam to them?
