Do i need a relay
Have two 27w LED spot lights and I am not sure how to wire them

Bump...........

You need a relay. Buy a pre wired harness with a relay, saves some time and confusion. I have the kc one and the instructions are pretty good.

Great thanks!

It really depends on the switch that you use. Since these are LEDs, they draw a low amount of current. 27W/12V=2.25Amps per light. So long as your switch is good for 4.5 amps plus 10%, you will be fine without a relay. There are plenty of switches out there that can handle that small amount of current.
Things change when you are running regular lights and multiples of them...lots more current there. |
That is only about 7 amps. You could go without a relay, but you would need to fuse the + at the battery and run a switch that can handle the amperage (say one for 10 amps).

Thanks so much!!! You always have great answers to all my stupid questions!!
