24v lighting wiring questions

I was able to get my hands on a set of free flood lights, yay. As my dad always told me nothing is ever free, and now I have no Idea of how to wire these into my truck. Any ideas on how I can get the need 24v to run my behind the grill lights?

 

So dad was right nothing is free. Thanks for the insight.

 

never seen anyone do that on here.....or anywhere for that matter

 

Or you can just add a battery and wire it in series to the original one, then hook your lights to the new battery and leave all the original stuff hooked to the original battery. But it still wont be very cheap because battery wire is expensive.

 

Yea, if I was to do it that way I would fab up a battery tray and mount the extra on the outside of the frame under the bed. But that is where the cost comes in because I have priced enough battery cable to do this and it is nowhere near cheap.

 

Thanks for the options. It's as I expected there is no easy/cheap answer.

 

Yea, if I was you I would just try to sell those and buy some good 12v lights.
There is no need in going through all that trouble just for a couple of lights imho.

 

don't forget that if you wire up another battery in series you will probable need to beef up your alternator...For what everything would cost to get them in there, you can get a solid pair of 12+ lights.
