Question Wiring PIAA light question

Just installed a westin bull bar with 2 piaa 520 driving series lights and love them! a guy i work for wants to install some on his work f550. we were discussing how you could wire 6 lights together but were kinda stumped on how to do this. I know mine came with a harness for the 2 lights but is there anyway you could wire 4 more into the same harness without over loading it. maybe splicing or nething like that. just looking for some ideas. thanks guys!

was it threw the piaa wiring harness? i should have said this earlier but we would run 3 forward and 3 rear facing so it would be two seperate toggles.

No I used thicker guage wiring so there was no possibility of melting

Went with 10gauge and ran it through a grounded relay under the hood than ran it to a toggle. Ran power to the toggle off the fuse panel by passengers feet with another fuse so nothing will burn up without popping a fuse or ruining the relay
