Hey guys, I don't know crap about electrical. Wondering if I could get some advice. I have a set of off brand kc style lights, as well as some tractor (flood style, not spot lights) I want to put the kc style lights in the front, and the floods in the back sort of tucked away under the truck. I have 35w plug and play hid single beams, so nothing happens when I turn my high beams on. I would like to wire it up to where the ones in the front come on with my existing headlights when I turn my high beams on. (So low beams with KC style lights will be on when I hit my high beams.) they will be used offroad only. As for the back, I'd like the lights tucked under the bumper to come on and shine on the side of the truck in the back when I reverse. My goal is to do this with no added switched in the cab (high beams for the front / reverse for the back) and do it easy and hassle free as possibly. As I am a total noob to this for the most part, I need a little help/guidance. Idk where to tap power for each, or if it will melt the wires if I try to run all these lights. Please excuse my ignorance on the subject, it will only get less and less after this

 

You'll want a relay kit for both. Hook the trigger wire for the reverse light relay into the reverse light wire, so the reverse lights kicking on sends power to the relay, and from the battery to the lights. You'll do the same thing for the front lights, tap into the high beam wire to trigger the offroad light relay.

 

Bout how much do the relays run and where can I get them? And old wire about the same size as the existing should do?

 

Yeah you can get an offroad light relay harness from the parts store for like $15

 

Is that the whole harness? I have plenty of wire in the shop I just need the relay itself

 

It's the entire harness, you'll probably have to add wire for the backup lights.

 

I have a diagram in a thread I made about reverse lights. You can tap into the trailer harness and not need to run a wire all the way from the battery, just keep it all back there

 

But they're brighter off a relay usually.

 

Thanks guys, I'll prob do it Friday and let y'all know how it goes

 

I used a relay, the trailer battery charge circuit puts out plenty of power for them, then a relay hooked to the reverse light wire
