Default Need help wiring lights on my roof rack!!!

So I want to put 6 lights total on my roof rack, 4 on the front, and 2 on the back. What would be the best way to wire this all up. I want basically two switches, one for the front 4 lights, and one for the back 2 lights.

I already have looked up tutorials on how to get it through the roof, I don't need help with that, I just want to know the best way to wire them up. Thanks!

Figure out the total draw for each of the applications (4 front, 2 rear) and select appropriate relays. Low power in the switch circuit and high power in the light circuit. Keeps the hi power and head and fatigue away from the switch and prevents electrical fires.
