    Hello all.

    So I have caliraised amber ditch lights already installed on my truck with a switch in the cab. I purchased the fog light amber pod kit as well, but don't really like them in that position but want to add them behind the grill. My electrical skills are enough to get the job done, but I also don't want to spark a fire lol.

    My question is, how do I add the two lights behind the grill and have them wired up to the existing switch? (When I turn the switch on, my two amber ditch lights as well as these two amber lights behind the grill will all turn on at the same time.)

    Can I tap into the existing wiring? Do I need a whole new wiring harness with a relay and can I just tap that into the switch wire? I've tried to look around on the line but haven't exactly found what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance!

    Depends on the amps the added lamps require and the max the relay can handle.
    You can use these to add the positive wire of the ambers to the whites positive wire IF total amps to not exceed the fuse, wiring and relay. The switch part is fine.
