Been doing quite a bit of reading on auxiliary lights wiring but would like your opinion if i should just get a wiring hardness kit like or would it be ALOT cheaper and better if i DIY it.

Project 2x100W KC on front bumper.

Thx.

What guage wire does the kit utilize? I did a DIY wire harness for my off road lights with 12 AWG. Wire. And 40 amp relays. And spent about 40 Bucks I believe.

Thx.
No info on wire size but seem like a good deal now that you mentioned you spent $40 on your diy's but i'm sure yours was probably better wires/relay.

Don't the kc's come with a harness? Or are you buying them used?

BotakBeng

It was used

Well in that case I would just make your own harness. I think you could make one for less than 40 bucks. I had to replace my whole harness for my bumper lights. Really not all that hard.

I said about 40 Bucks. I bought 12Awg wire, Long enough to run from the roof to the engine compartment I think it was like 48 foot of wire. and (2) 40 Amp relays, and all the little male and female wire leads, and some wire loom for protection.
Oh Ya and (2) covered in-line 25 Amp fuse holders to run from the battery to the relays. When you buy everything it adds up pretty quick, there all pretty cheap by them selves but when bought all together it adds up. That's why I said about 40 Bucks.

I spent about the same to wire up mine. It does add up quick.

Thx for all the inputs ya!
Since there is not much of a difference, i went ahead and ordered the Amazon's at $38.83 shipped.

Appreciate all the comments!

I guess when your father in-law is an electrician you get all the wire you need for free...

Happy New Year all!

Purchased but the connection at the relay was loose causing my KC's to flicker, got a replacement from Amazon and same issue...i'm guessing bad batch.

Found and was not sure if it will work with my 2x100w KC lights.

Appreciate if someone can help.
