Installing Multiple Light Sets on a Jeep
 

I'm looking to do a 22 inch LED bar on the front bumper and then 2 LEDs spot lights on the pillar area.


Can I hook each of these up separately to the battery or does there have to be some mechanism for them to work?


Do I need to buy 2 wiring harness kits or do I need to buy one kit and modify it to work with both sets of lights?




I plan to do 2 switches in the interior as well if that makes a difference.

If you don't have an sPod, I'd recommend running relay'd harnesses. Definitely one harness for the light bar by itself. Depending on whether you're running LED or HID spots, you might need one or two harnesses for that. For LED spots, you should be fine with one harness running both lights. Anything with heavier amp draws, I'd run a separate harness for each, so each light has it's own relay, and then just hook up the switch leg together so you can operate them both off of one switch.

I was thinking of a kit like this which comes with the relay and harness

I just dont understand if I just hook up one kit for the led bar and then another kit for the spot lights which would be 2 kits hooked up to one battery.

I just have to make sure that the relay and fuse will work with the lights wattage outputs.

My question I guess is can I add more than one set of leads to a battery?

I ran all my lights separate with NO spod or anything like it. I just used 3 dollar accessories relays and in-line fuses on each. All 3 bumper lights are on one switch, the rest separate. I used no pre-made wiring kits, just follow the instructions on the relay packaging

Yes you can hook up multiple connections to the battery. You can either purchase harnesses (most lights come with them already) or make your own with a relay, switch, fuse, and wire. It's really not that hard. The key is to make sure all the components are rated properly.

You need to know the current in amps of the lights to properly size the components. If you do not have that information on the light itself, then you can calculate it using this formula...

Watts/Voltage=Amps.

This is how you can wire them.

You can hook up more than one set of lights to one battery. That's no problem. Just make sure that the power wire and fuse you use for each is appropriate for the power consumption. Unless you're gonna go apes#hit with tons of lights, you don't need to add a second battery. Remember that safety is first. Do not skimp on the wiring.
