Have a old pair of Bash off road lights. How do I hook them up so that they are with my high beams and what is a good light bar? I don't know what type they are are yet. But I am going to put them on a 06 xlt.
I forgot the name it starts with a b

I don't have them installed yet because I just ordered them last night but the light bar is just the bar the part number is 37-02505 that is for the black one they also have a stainless steel version. I decided to go with just regular driving lights and not off road lights the part number is 09-0205 I bought two of them for a total of four 6' lights.

The proper way to wire them into the high beams:
Once you figure out where you want them mounted, you will need a scotch lock, a spst relay (closed when power is applied) some pull apart crimp connectors (the round ones) (so the lights can be removed without cutting wires), a switch (I'd use one with an LED bulb in it) and the crimps for the blades on the back of the switch.
I'd start at the switch first. The ground of course is a ground, then you have an input and output wire. The input wire comes off a high beam wire (t off buy the housing once you figure out which wire is which using the scotch lock) and the output goes to the relay. One pole of the relay will come right off the battery, the other will go to the lights (run a fuse on the battery side) and ground everything else. The switch will allow you to turn the driving lights on when your high beams are on.
This is how I have mine wired. Every now and then you'll have a moment when you want to turn off the driving lights but not the high beams and then you just flip that switch. Otherwise, the switch stays on pretty much all of the time.
