Nothing fancy for now, just ziptied to the inside of the rops and thru my windshield mounts them under the hood to the relay. As soon as I get some more wire, I'll probably run them from the light down the back bars and under the machine .
I'm running a relay for each of my separate lights.If I get a chance, I'll pull the fuse on mine, just to test my interpretation of the diagram. I used 20amp rockers switches on mine, but there is only a few amps on each. Typically, that much load is run through relays. Anyway, its working, and you are not smoking, so you should be good.
Gonna take a beating on top, both hunting and at Windrock, if it wont last I'll move it else where. Used some 2" fender washers underneath the roof for extra support. I've got some old road signs from work I can cut some larger washers from if it'll help support them.

Using a relay keeps the high current portion of the circuit away from your switch. A hot wire from the battery or a buss bar to the relay is the way to do that. You might get away with shorter lengths of time without it, but long run times will damage the switch.What's the point of a relay?? I wired a 24 inch light bar on my mower and just used a switch with an integrated fuse.
