just redneck it. splice into the the factory wiring behind the bumper or splice the old connectors to the ends of the off road lights so you can still unplug them if you wanted. the original wiring is meant for two 35w lights. not sure how it would hold up in the long run with high powered lights. now if you want to run them without you reg lights then just do the fog light mod in the tech section.

use a relay unless you enjoy the smell of elecrical fires :rolleyes:

a $10 relay isnt worth risking a $10,000 truck.
