Here ya go. Get the relay at radio shack. Running it with a relay like this will keep you from having to run long lengths of large gauge wire. A fuse never hurts.

I prefer a set of running lights on the front -have used a variety of different things from walmart and others. Main thing to me is get 110watt bulbs not the 55watt ones... You can even order the smaller ones off ebay and upgrade the bulbs from 55 to 110. You can buy the 110w bulbs at tractor supply and other places. Think even walmart carries them. And then a GOOD hard hat light for the main light. I use the running lights just for a general lighting of what is up ahead, but use that hard hat light as a spot light to really see where I am going... I like the flood beam on the front lights and spot on the hard hat... |

Do you guys just plug in the 110w bulbs and that's it? Do you need to put in a fuse or change any wiring???? |

Nothing that serious on my end.. Just used 10 ga oil and gas resistent wire that you can buy by the foot at any lowes and many other places.. I run everything thru a switch panel so you have built in fuses.... |
