I made a quick schematic of how I'm planning to wire all my additional lights on my truck. I'm quite the novice so please bear with me. There's only a couple question marks on there for what rating of fuses I should put in. The happen to be the parts I already have, but if something is wrng its easy to change. So please have a look and tell me where I screwed up. Thanks.

gday mate,im doing the same application as you,but at the moment only doing the 6 100W lights on the top of my lux, was told today that you should use a relay for each light,only double them up when the lights are around 50W.by the way your diagram looks tops man

Thanks, the diagram took a while but I like planning things cleanly before I start. I have to disagree about the relays. Most heavy duty wiring kits are made for 2 100w lights and come with a 30 amp relay. Using the 40 amp relays for every pair of 130w bulbs will work just fine. If I can be show why not, thats cool, I can admit when I'm wrong. Good luck with your lux, post some pics when you're done.
