Default Wiring harness?

First off I know absolutely nothing about lighting. Whew that wasn't too hard......

Now that that's out of the way, I just got a new bumper and winch for my birthday and now I want some auxiliary lights to put on there.

I found some pro comp 5" lights on amazon for $20 a piece. What kind of wiring harness do I need to hook those up.( I'll post a link right after I right this)

I'm looking to mount these on my fairlead. I don't want to spend over $120. Are there any better lights in my price?

You can get Hella Black Magic 500's for about 110 or less. They would look good on your rig and come with a super easy wiring harness.

EDIT: Now that I realized the picture you posted, those might be a bit tall. Look up WillyWonka10 - He's got some LED's that will fit nicely, but I don't remember what he paid. SUPER BRIGHT!!!

Those are regular KC's on the windshield, HID's for headlights and LED's for the bumper...Huge difference!
He just told me they were around $100. from DDM Tuning.

I was actually looking at at the hella 500 black magic driving lamps. I just wasnt sure about the size. They are 6.5". And i didn't know if that would be too big or not. Since I was mounting them on the fairlead. Is there any pictures out there floating around that y'all know about, so I could see how they look.

Check out the DDM lights, you wond be disappointed in the output and the mounting bracket will make it pretty easy to mount anywhere. Trust me, I'm not trying to steer you away from the Hella's, I seem to like them a bit myself...

I forgot to ask, since I can't use my factory fog lights can I use those wires to hook up my new lights?

I don't think so, maybe the LED's because the draw might be less, but I don't think you can on the Hella's. I recommend running the wiring that comes with the lights you choose.

You can use the factory fog light wires to trip the relay on the new harness.
