Default Off-road lights, need some advice!

Not very savvy with any electrical matters. So, I want to buy and install these. Know they'll fit the front bumper mounts, look decent.

What is the -SIMPLEST- way I can wire these in?

If someone would do a little step by step explaining things I'd really appreciate it..

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try to do this myself next time I get some nice weather. Oh, would 16 ga. wire work? I don't know if I'll trust the wiring they provide.

I installed preaty much the same thing on mine. I wired mine in with no switch. (comes om when the key is on) the lights are grounded to the bumper. and i ran the power wire through a rubber gromet on the passenger side fire wall, pulled it down behind the glove box, and piggybacked one of the 20 amp fuses that are in the interrior fuse box. you can use a test light to figure out which ones are hot all the time, or just when the key is on. if you dont have a test light. you can use the driving lights and a buddy as a test light..... ARE THEY ON??? NO?! OK!! HOW ABOUT NOW?? worked good for me. cheers.
