    No switch installed
    No Harnesses

    I'm clueless as to what I need.

    I installed my retro HID's but those came with a wiring harness. It was "plug n play" with those.
    With these new lights I'm guessing I'll need a side fuse box to connect to, then run wires into the cab and connect to a switch board?

    So if you want to have a lot more lights- or be able to control the lights completely individually (i.e. 6 switches for the lights shown) you'll want something more complicated than just a harness.

    All of my lights (top center, top sides, bumper, and soon-to-be alley lights) will be harnesses. It looks like hell inside my engine bay but it works.

    EDIT: I also cheaped out and set my switches so they only illuminate when the light is on. It's easier to wire and I prefer it to having glowing switches all the time.

    Those lights look familiar...

    If they're the 225w version, make sure to get the appropiate harness. That's 40 amps with both lights on.

    Can I wire each light individually to their own fuse (fuse box) under the hood, then run individual wires from the fuse box to a switch board inside the cab.

    Ideally I want to be able to flip a switch for each light individually.

    Day two of fishing and the dicks in the boats don't understand what a no wake zone is. Doubtful I'm catching anything this morning but I am going back out tonight with the wife for a fishing date
