Default Wiring OffRoad Lights on my f150

Hi guys,
Im looking for assistance. I think I know, but I need some input just to make sure.

Ive got 4 150w Offroad Lights for my Lightbar. I was thinking of buying a remote harness from ebay for 20 bucks.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/REMOT...mZ260357308281

Can I just hook up all 4 Lights to the harness, or should I get 2 Harnesses or any better ideas?

I would appreciate any ideas or help.
Thanks.

It should have specs on how many amps it can handle, usually off-road lights are around 4-5 amps so anything over 20 amps and you should be good with just one I would think.

Myself just this weekend I put lights on my truck. I used a 12Volt heavy duty relay, like a start relay for a 84 crown vic, that way my only limitation on amperage is my wiring and the alternator. I plan to add 2 more lights to the bull bar and eventually a "roll bar" with 4 forward and 2 rear facing lights, all of the same relay and I won't have any problems. Plus I have a switch mounted in the dash so I'm not fumbling around with my keys looking for a button on a remote....

i have 6 lights facing forward and i bought the lights with the harness. they are the kc hilti 50 series lights and they work great. so i have 3 different switches in my truck. its easy to wire up and you should be fine with that wiring harness on ebay. the worst that could happen is that you fry the relay and have to buy a new harness or two because the one couldnt hold the power.
