Does it have OEM style mounts? Can you use it as a recovery point?

Well I actually have two already wired and am thinking about putting 4 up on top. If I wired the ones on top seperately THEN could I run them all through the same switch?

yes, because the relays require such a small amperage to activate that a single switch could easily handle multiple relay circuits.

look into DPDT relays, it will make wiring much cleaner and give a little more of a "trick" look

I'm nowhere near my XJ this weekend, so I'll just tell you what I'm running until I can snap a pic for this thread..

Here's my Headlight setup:
I have H4 housings retrofitted with Morimoto Mini Bi-Xenon Projectors w/ Apollo Shrouds, 5000k D2S bulbs, and 35 watt Xentec Digital Ballasts.

Here's my Auxillary Light setup:

I have one set of KC Hilites 26 series lights on my front bumper with 55 watt bulbs and interchangeable lenses (amber fog, clear fog, and driving)

I have a set of KC Hilites 57 series lights on the front of my roof rack with 55 watt bulbs and interchangeable lenses (amber fog, clear fog, and driving)

I have one set of Autozone square driving lights on the rear of my roof rack that are wired to the reverse lights. Perfect for backing up at night!

I want to get some rock lights next. I'm looking at using white waterproof LED marine grade lights for that application .

Mine with rampage h4 conversion headlights , ddm tuning 8000k hids, and some hella 500ffs

The HIDs are one of the best things Ive bought for the jeep, so much more light output then stock lighting!
