Rocklights wiring help!!!
Hey guys, I currently have a pair of 130 Watt Kc HiLites as windshield lights on the JK. I read wayalife's thread on the Walmart Platinum Burner rocklight write-up and I was planning on doing the install soon. However, I was wondering if all these lights would cause any problems. I believe these lights are 55 watts and i am planning to install two (one for each side of the jeep in the front). I'm pretty clueless when it comes to wiring and electricity... will I need to do anything special (relays, etc)? I don't know if it makes a difference but I am currently using a relay for the KC HiLites. Also, I will use a separate Daystar switch for the rocklights.
-Thanks in advance!

The smarter way to go is to use a separate relay per pair of lights and wire them all to one cabin switch. However, since they're only 55w each you could use a 20 amp relay for 2 pairs.
55w x 4 = 220w / 12v = 18.33 amps
55w x 4 = 220w / 12v = 18.33 amps
