    I'd be glad to help you get the materials together, and give any assistance I can. I'm also free on Monday, Wednesday & Friday evenings, if that works better for you. If you'd like, we could meet & I could sketch out a simple drawing/schematic for the wiring; it's pretty straightforward.

    Whatever works best for you. :)

    Edit: It occurs to me that this wheel has already been invented; there are probably threads about wiring lights using relays here on TW. Try doing a search on "relays for lights" or "lighting relays"; that would probably get you the info you need. Either way, I'm glad to help if you want.

    Thanks :D I did the math and 4 hellas are around 19 amps, so could I run them all off of 1 relay? Or should I just wire the 4 lights in pairs?

    One 30-amp relay would work, or you could use 2 20 or 15-amp relays.
    You might have less voltage drop across the relay-to-light wiring using 2 separate relays.

    I've got to go do some stuff they pay me for here; I'll be back to discuss this more completely later.

    It was "Number Nine, number nine, number nine..." on the Beatles' White Album.

    I see no mention of cookies. You have violated the rules and therefore I refuse to read it.

    BTW, if the Girl Scouts made panda bear cookies, I bet they'd be your favourite.

    Would it look stupid if I mount 4 hellas on my front bumper?

    How would you mount them? :confused:

    Not much room there. :notsure: More power to ya, though! :thumbsup:

    I bought a bull bar to mount my lights, but it's not a very good solution; they vibrate, and the bull bar decreases my angle of approach in front.

    Plus, it's dumb. I haz a dumb truck. :eek: :eek: :eek:

    There was a guy on TW who was making light bars that mounted to the frame, above the bumper & below the grill; I was going to get one of those when my money ship docked. Might be awhile for that, though, for me.
