Wiring harness question

Hello everyone. I want to install some KC led fog lights that have an Amp draw of 1.67a. Being such a small draw, do I need a wiring harness with a relay or can I wire it directly to the switch using a simpler wiring harness such as this one?

Thank you

 

What is the switch rated for?

 

Wtf is
Earth
Load
Supply.

I'll admit I am no electrical genius... but I am now confused.

 

1+ amps is beyond most push button switches. Toggle switches or rockers may be rated for more but typically would not be used inside the cab. Which lights specifically? There may be an easier option if these are fog lights and your truck didn’t come with them.

 

I am pretty new to wiring so I appreciate all the help.

 

Flush out the question with all relevant detail including specific products and intended uses.

 

Earth is Ground
Supply is from battery/fuse to switch
Load is from switch to lights (load)

 

They are KC LED Fog lights. I got an SR which doesn’t have them. But from what I read it seemed easier to just wire them to a switch inside the cab. I don’t have experience with wiring, so doing like this seemed simpler then going the “OEM” route.

 

Nitori fog light thread is your friend. I will try to find the link.

 

I kind of figured... but who calls ground earth. It was more of a rhetorical question.
Sorry, I may be in to a happy moment.

 

Personally, I like to use a relay on anything that goes in/out of the cab.
Even more so on lights.

Use the OEM stuff, it’s likely pre wired for most of what you want. Add relay and switch per the instructions. 100% legit.

 

It’s an old term.
Carried over from when the “ground” was literally the earth.

 

Thank you! I saw that thread and read quite a bit about it, but it just seemed simpler to buy a harness and wire them independently inside the cabin. Seemed easier and cheaper then removing the steering wheel, changing the stalk etc. I will give another look at it though.

 

Thank you everyone for all the replies and help

 

TLDR, I’d 100% do a relay if bypassing the stock stuff. But you already have a lot of the wires and the dash indicator is nice to have. I’d personally want the stalk. Disassembling things may feel daunting at first but if you take your time, lots of photos, use proper tools and bag and tag, it’s not scary. Anyone can do it. Just don’t rush.

 

That is true. I’ll give another read through it again. Thank you for the help.
