Just curious....Im going to try and install

(5) Off-Road Lights on my lightbar
(2) Off-Road Lights on my grille lightbar
(2) Back-Up Lights on the rear of my truck (not sure where)

and a winch


As for the lightbar lights http://www.trsfabandoffroad.com/products/procomp_lights.htm

Back-Up Lights

Backup/Utility Light Kit (ARB)

Now since im no expert or even novice at electrical or wiring lights, what else would I need to install?

The ProComps say wiring harness is sold separately, and someone said something about me needing a Dual Heavy Duty w/relay switch kit?

Dual Heavy Duty w/relay for 4 lights Part# 9400



Can anyone give me any missing information, or advice, just anything...



The following pics are not mine, and I saved them kinda as "ideas" or "references"


This is what I wanted for the (5) on top....

This is pretty much the exact set-up for my 94' Ranger (Winch//Lights on Grille guard//and the whole grille setup for the winch and lights)

for the 5 lights on the roof, you'll need 2 wiring harnesses. one for two lights, one for three lights. the wiring harnesse's come completewith wiring, fuses, relays.
you'll need a third wiring harness for the lights on the grill guard. and a 4th harness for the rear lamps. the inside of the cab should have 4 switches: 2 for roof lights, one for rear, one for front lights.

not really a thing you need but i had some lights under my jeep for when i was offroading at night and needed some light to see what i was doing when going around or over rocks with out having to have some one out side with a flash light to tell you where to put ur wheels.

+1 to what edge said.if you dont know about wiring ,get the kits.it'll be plug and play more or less.
by the time you buy wire,relays,switches seperate it'll work out about the same in price.
i've seen what a hack job on lights ends up like(cheap light up a-zone crap).your truck will light up allright...................from the inside out.
i'am running 7 100 watt aris and 2 55 watt tractor supply special's for back up in the bumper.
