i pre wired the lights through the bar and the whole set up is waiting to be reinstalled once i get back from branson. i will be there a few days.

What i did was wired the the 2 left lights together and the two right lights together. left have 1 black and 1 blue wire, the right have 1 black and one blue wire.


Should I:
A- wire both to the existing wiring harness (when they were pillar mounted)
B- wire one set to the existing, and one to a new setup(relay, switch...)

Safest bet would be to just do each set separately. If your goal is to have only one switch, you could still trigger both relays with a single switch.
I think he should be ok with a 30 amp relay since it is 4 55 watt lights.You should only be drawing around 18 amps. This is less power than many people are running from a set of KC lights. If the stock harness came with only a 20 amp relay upgrade to the 30 as long as all of the wiring is 14 guage, otherwise use the 2 relay method. I would tie them into the existing harness from your windsheil lights since you don't have the windsheild lights any more.
