Hi I have a question about the best way to run power to off road lights
My sons Jeep XJ has 4 hella lights on roof rack and 2 lights on brush guard and 2 back up lights on the roof rack that is 8 lights NO we do not plan on running all the lights at same time I figure 2 lights per switch

Can I run 1 main power source and jump to all the switches from the 1 main power source and do the ground the same way
What about relays thanks for any help

I just helped a guy do some rock lights and some lights on his front bumper and we ran three switches and three 40 amp relays. One switch and realy for each set of lights and he ran 2 on the front and 2 under the front fenders and 2 under the rear fenders, six lights total. 2 light per switch will work fine.

With that many lights you should look into making a relay box, search for fitch box.

Summit, jegs, 4wd.com, and 4 wheel parts all sell kits. We have light wire kits with a relay, switch, wire and fuse starting a like $12.99
Like this one but its a single switch
