    Default Off road lighting

    Current plans are to put 4 off road lights on the winch bumper. I believe I will be going with two spots and two wide 110 watt lights. Since I will be disconnecting the OEM fog lights from the internal wiring I will have a light switch that I can wire up the 4 off road lights.

    My question is this. Should I wire up the spots and the wide angles to one switch or two?

    I'm thinking two. If I do this then I'll probably want to do a switch panel.

    I may go with wiring all 4 off road lights to the single switch for now and then build the switch panel. Currently I am considering a 5 switch pannel.

    1. Rock lights
    2. Off road spts
    3. Off road Wide angle lights
    4. ARB Air locker front
    5. ARB Air locker rear

    Hmmm I bet I'll need a switch for the air compressor.

    Well 4 lights would be ok as long as I had the right size relay, right? I mean yeah eventually I want 2 lights per switch.

    Yes but it will take on hell of a relay and some pretty heavy wire. Probably 10 gauge and a 60amp relay for 4 100watt lights
