You know Turbo, I think you put way too much thought, concern, and effort into your responses. You should really quit doing that. How about you just quit that crap and start throwing out misinformation, half-assed answers instead?
Forget trying to teach people stuff, okay?

Well, somebody's gotta point it out.
A request for help, followed by an educated response given the info provided, is met by a smart-*** response?

Nice way to treat someone who took his time to help you figure it out.

Then don't act like a tool. If you've made it this far with your Jeep with the suspension mods listed in your signature then you should understand that everything has details and specifications. I believe the phrase goes "how long is a piece of string?" You can't expect a real answer to that sort of question. What you wrote is comparable to asking "Can I install a GMC leaf spring in my Jeep?" Consult your brain when writing posts lol

Good, some information. The factory fog light circuit has a 15A fuse on it and is comprised of 20 AWG wire. Considering voltage loss your LED bar will probably pop fuses and get wiring quite warm without the engine running. Your best bet is to use the factory fog wiring and switch to toggle a relay that feeds the LED bar straight from the battery, just like the headlight harness.

I was just thinking of getting a 50 amp relay and 6 gauge wire and saying screw it...One problem though... I cant seem to find a harness that has 6 gauge wire on it. Do people usually just alter or not use the harness instead?

50A relay and 6 AWG would do the trick. I've never heard of any harness using that large of a cable outside of battery and starter applications.
