Default Off-road lamp relays?

Do I need to wire in a relay with just two off-road lamps rated at 100-watts each? If I don't HAVE to will it help at all (down the road even) or will it be a waste of my time?

i would recomend it, the relays lighten the load through your switch, and you will get a longer life out of it.

that is another good way, just keep it protected by fuses so you dont burn your jeep down. seen a kid with a neon burn his car down putting in subs and an amp cause he did it wrong.

always use relays, or at least some sort of fuseable link.
