okay this is the plan. I think i think i have it all done. I will be taking all the lights and roof rack off my mounty and installing a CARR light bar with 4 100W 6" offroad lights. i want these to ONLY come on with my high beams. so let me see if i got this right.
I can wire 2 lights so 200w up to a 12ga wire (too big or can i do a 16ga?) and take that down to a relay. i already have a massive amp kill switch mounted from battery via a 8gauge wire. so i would wire the 2 lights on 1 12ga wire to the 40amp relay. the wires would connect to the 30 pin. and then from the positive on my kill switch connected to battery that would go to the 87 pin. and then the 85 grounds the relay (i heard i can use a small like 16 gauge wire for this?) and then the 86 pin would run a wire to the high beam wire.
next question. i want these to come on with the high beams only. so i heard its the green/ black wire coming from the head lights. i can just splice into there correct? where is the best place to do that?
also for the 2 others i would run a relay 40amp and repeat the process and also connect to the green/black wire.
so am i right here? or am i struggling and missing something? Would it be possible to run all 4 100w lights on one 12gauge wire to the 40 amp relay instead so i dont have a bunch of wires?
THANKS GUYS i just really really dont want to mess this up. i when i first got my truck fried all the fog light wires because i didnt do a very good job of using a relay (didnt use one at all ) so i want to get this right.
