    If you plan to have the relays in the engine bay, Id suggest getting weather resistant relays. Over time, regular relays can draw in moisture and dust. Then they will start to build up crud and that can cause the relay to turn on the lights without the switch.

    I wired and mounted my Rigid lights in a little more than an hour. I did have the advantage that they came with a wiring harness. You really are not looking at significant time.

    Are you anywhere near Dillon?

    Are you gonna solder everything? If so I would still use bullet or spade connectors for the lights, this way if u upgrade or have one go bad it's plug n play.

    If putting the relay in the engine bay unplug the relay. Put some dielectric grease and put back together.
