Just make sure you use a relay and the amp draw on the switch will only be
the draw that the relay does to operate. Don't hook them direclty to the
switch or you will be buying a new switch pretty quick..

I second that emotion! I learned that the hard way in my big car years
before I got my Jeep. The amber fog lamps cooked that switch quickly.

Re: Wiring accessory lighting
use arelays and then use the switch to turn on the relays
85 is ground 86 is b+ 87 is switch power and #30 is the wire that goes to the
lamps
i would use one relay for each lite
all the numbers are the terminals on the bottom of the relay
