Wiring AUX lights on 05 X?

[NHarris]

Anyone know how this is done. I have a general idea of what to do, but I want to back up what I'm thinking.
I am going to get 2 AUX lights to put on my bull bar.

Any input is welcome.

Thanks,
Nate

I have two on my bull bar 55w from autozone i just wired them under and up along the radiator and connected the negative to a bolt on the stereo adapter i have and wired the power to a fuse tap and then to the powerswitch that i located on the opposite side of the 4x4 buttons since they were blank it looks pretty sick you should do the same. If you have any questions or need me to explain it out more please ask.

I have that information center so all 6 of the center panel buttons are full.
I'm not understanding that too well. I apologize, I'm not too good with anything electronic.

If you would explain slightly more in depth, I'd appreciate it.

Basically the easiest way not the safest is to wire the postive red from the lights to the battery and to the switch and do the same with the negative black to switch and to the negative on the battery

Nate, check out the awesome sticky by Tbars4 in the Performance Lighting section on wiring auxiliary lights.

Here is a great diagram for wiring in the lights:

You really should include a relay for safety reasons and so you don't leave them on by accident. You can also add a switch in the cabin so you can control them. If you have any further questions, PM me and I'll give you my cell number and I'll explain it better.

I'll have to take a look at that thread when I start to feel better...I look at them and don't seem to want to read them. I don't know when I'll get around to actually buying aux lights.

Let me know if you need any assistance. It's really pretty easy. Here are the cheap Wally World fogs I put on my Ex:
