okay so here we go

i already have wired -2 KC slimlites (driving)
-2 KC slimlites(long range)
-2 small backup lights



i want to do this - wire up 2 more backup lights on my roof rack and 2 back up lights on the side of my rack ( just 1 on each side)

those six lights ( including the 2 back up lights i have wired) i want to be all wired to 1 switch.


whats the best way to do this without killing my battery?

also what the best way to wire togother those six small lights?

Elton

wire them up with relays and just tap into the switch you got now

Tofer

yep.... lots of relays

I used 1 relay for 3 Hella 500s on my bumper and one relay for my tractor lights mounted on the back. I did use 2 switches because I want to turn them on/off independently. So maybe a relay per set of 2-3.

Good luck!

Best way to not kill your battery? Get an upgraded alternator or swap them out for LED's. Power is power - gotta come from somewhere. You "need" to run all those lights, you're gonna need an upgraded alt and maybe another battery.

okay so i need to get relays

okay

any other suggestions on how to not kill my battery?

Elton

leave it running

tc

Leaving it running will only help if the alternator makes enough juice at idle - which it doesn't.

any others?

i actually think we got a bigger alternator in after my first set of KCs

but could y'all give me a link for the relays i need?
