I have a 2door JK... do you think that 2 pairs of lights should be fine? WOL instaled 3 pairs but he has a 4door...

Honestly, you need however many lights you think is necessary. The output you achieve is dependant on many factors like intensity, brand and placement. I know the LEDs seems to work better.

I don't mean the location of the lights... I want to know how to install the wires, relays, and all that you need in order to turn on your lights

Read further into our posts bud...

I have the diagrams. No relays needed with LEDS.....they do not draw enough current.

Basically 12+ and Ground paired around the JK with a switch..

Yep... I already seen the diagrams, but I'm trying to find something else like photos... I don't know anything about electric issues... maybe I'm going to ask for help to some who knows about this and watch it carefully and help him so I can learn how to do it

Yep, I have a total of 90 separate LEDs under my Jeep in 10 different pods. They all draw .9amps total! Expect about 4-5a for a 55w halogen, per bulb.
