How do I wire (3) lights?
Hello all, I am getting rid of my (2) off-road (130w) lights on my grille guard but I want to replace them with (3) driving (55w) lights. My wiring / relay set up now is for only (2) lights. Can I safely hook up (3) lights to that setup? If so, how?

If your relay ran 2 x 130W (260 total) then it should be able to handle 3 x 55W (165) just fine. If you had 1 power wire splitting into 2 for the old lights then just split it into 3. If your old lights had 2 wires from the relay split them both and connect 1 from each to the centre light. That'll put equal current into each wire.
It would be easier if I could draw diagrams, but that's beyond my computer abilities.

Just installed the Hunter Bull Bar with (3) Procomp lights. What do you guys think?
