Offroad light wiring diagram help?
I was wondering if anyone can help me with offroad light wiring. I am running 4 lights fowards and 2 lights in reverse @100 watts a light, I would like to have 2 seperate switches for front and back. Currently I have 10 gauge run from the battery to a circut breaker in the blazer. From the breaker I have 2 relays. From here I do not know where to go.
Where can I pull power for the switches from?
Any tips on getting wires into the interior of the blazer?
Best grounding point for the lights themself?
A diagram will really help with my understanding if somone would be kind enough to make one up.
Thanks!

Power to switches-i would run from battery with a fuse in it
Gettin wires into interior-driver side fender has a small gap big enough for an amp wire plus i had 6 other wires. You can run it in thru there, thru the door down to the black rubber for the stock wiring (i just cut it open with a knife) then from there you can take off the dash kick panels to reach around near that hole so that you can pull them thru, then run them to where ever your switches are
Grounding points-anywhere on the body will work, for lighted switches, i grounded to the e brake pedal, but for lights, ground them out to the stock rack (it worked for my blazer)
me and my friend wired up 5 forward, 5 backward and 2 to each side on his headache rack on his ranger tho, plenty bright with 10 gauge wire, 30 amp fuse, and a HD switch from wal mart
As for a diagram, i cannot help seein as how i never used relays
But these look about right to me

I just did some driving lights on mine and I used this diagram. I think I've seen it on here before. Fog light wiring diagram image by Jmila1901 on Photobucket

Nepa thanks for the diagram, now if only I could find a solid ground. Nothing seems to work for me. The lights were working but than stopped and I noticed what I grounded them to had gotten warm. Whats the best place to ground in a blazer? And where about in Pa are you if you dont mind me asking.
#5
you could ground it on the firewall or send a wire to the neg on the battery

I just grounded mine on some random bolt i found underneath near that big splash guard thing. I guess I'm more mideastern pa, I'm about 15 miles north of allentown.

Thats not to far from me. Im up near Hazleton, and what "splash gaurd" are you talking about?

I actually just looked and I ran my ground wire to one of the bolts that hold on the tow hooks. Been working good so far.
