I have those same lights btm. They are a good value imo. And while a relay is useful, many on here don't run relays. My burners came with an inline fuse and I just wired them up like the instructions said to. Mine are wired to the fuse block. They have a decent amount of light for cheapo lights. I find myself using the covers most of the time. I should start using these lights more.

I got a few more close ups of the wiring before I move the basket over to my jeep today







This was the ground, a bolt right next to the ebrake

All of those loose wires would drive me insane. Mine can't be seen until they are under the hood.

It took me an hour to get the wires to stay in place. Mine isn't a fully boxed bar. It's more of a C shape.

I get a drop or two, but only while driving. And it's from where my lightbar mounts to the roof. I don't have any problems from the front where the wires go.
