about a -4.... ok maybe a 1.3.. its easy.. DC systems are simple, a ground and a power wire... if you want to cut power to then, you interupt the power wire with a switch.
most light kits come with all the stuff you need. i have the "baja tough 4x4" off road lights they sell at advance on mine, they pretty good, and shoot a decent beam for 45 bucks.

i have 500s 55w 6k hid conversion and theyre worth it. i mounted them upside down on the bar that hangs across behind the grille without taking the surround off, really easy. wiring was really simple to just took me awhile to find the best spot for things and clean up the wires so it wasnt messy
