Hey all need some help trying to figure out how to wire multiple lights. I have 2 sets of light force striker 170 with wire harnesses and a set off hella 500 and I need to make a harness. The 170 are going on my bumper and front of roof rack. The hellas are going on the rear of the rack. How do I do this with out a cluster of crap. Please help. Ty

I would wire each pair separately on it's own relay so that I had independent control of each set of lights.

Basically would do this x3 and would wrap the wiring in conduit for a cleaner appearance if necessary.

Im going to do the same thing soon and was having the same issue. Damn ocd. Everything has to look good. Well i was thinking of setting up my relays in a electrical conduit box to hide the mess.then either zip tie everything or run conduit pipe to hide the wires.

Your negative cable just needs to be a ground. Your positive should be run to the pow post on the battery, but it doesn't have to be, I ran mine to the accessory port in my fuse box and used a nearby ground.

I don't, I had to poke a hole in a grommet to run the wires through the firewall. It sealed up around the wires though.
