    I'm looking at a lower bumper light bar (300W) and a set of ditch lights (27W x2) from you guys and I'm wondering about the alternator/battery. I'm running stock parts for everything and don't run anything else outside of stock accessories in my 3rd gen. Are they up to par to run both lights without too much stress on the charging system?

    Also, how difficult would it be to wire up both the bar and pods to a single switch? I'm not an electrician but can follow directions better than a monkey :) I only have one empty switch slot but would prefer it that way anyways.

    Hello,

    For running LED’s the draw little power compared to many other lights and your battery can withhold that. For instance I have around 1500 worth of Watts on my truck and holds up great. I personally have my 50 curved and my ditch pods hooked up together. All you would need to do is splice your harness which can hold 3 lights together. If you have any questions feel free to let us know

    Awesome, thanks!

    So would I run both harnesses and splice near the switch? This keeps both relays and fuses in play I would think (again, not an electrician so sorry if it's a dumb question).
