Default KC wiring question

Hey guys, I am putting 3 KC slim lights behind my grill and my question is on the wiring. How would I wire this to one switch without over loading wiring and or burn truck to ground?? I am ordering the more heavy duty KC day lighters wiring kit, should that be ok.. What are your opinions on what I should do?

Depends on the current you draw with the 3 lights. Are they 100 or 150 watt bulbs? Your definitely gonna want a relay.

The KC daylighter wiring kit is rated at 130 watts with a relay and they are 130 watt bulbs

The wiring harness comes with a relay and a switch. All of the wiring is strong enough for the lights and you don't have to worry about the smaller gauge wire for the switch because all they do is control a relay. Just take all the wires that would normally be plugged into their own individual switch and put them together.

Yeah considering the harnesses are made for a pair of 130W lights, could you splice the 3rd one on to the same harness without fear of overloading the fuses/relays??

Take the wires that come off of the relay and go to the switch. Splice them together into one switch.
