Default Roof lights questions

So,before getting hammered with people telling me to "search" I have, and I'm no better off than when I started. I am going to purchase4 of these:

Blazer/3 x 5 in. 55 Watts halogen trapezoid flood mini tractor light (C8011) | Tractor Light | AutoZone.com

and mounting them on the front bar of my roof rack mainly just for looks but they might come in handy from time to time.

Now I know I need to buy the wiring, switches, etc seperate. now, my questions are:

1. What gauge wiring will I need?

2. I would like to run 2 separate switches, on 2 separate fuses, one for the inner two, and one for the outer two. What amp fuses do I need?

3. can I do this?




Thanks in advance. Hoping to be done with it by sunday if all goes as planned

best to use a relay

it makes the lights brighter and its less strain on the wires

Yes two relays would be best, but you can get by like that. My 100w KCs came with 10 gauge wires, so I'd go with something like that. 25 amp fuses should handle two of the lights each.
