Default Light wire harness??

Ok so I bought this beautiful setup right here for $100 all brand new never been installed!

I know go me on finding a sweet deal lol. These will be getting mounted on my front bumper. My questions are simple ones and more really opinions than questions. I know how to do all of the wiring to get everything hooked up and such but I have been considering picking up a premade wire harness with all the relays and everything included just to make life a little easier I was in specific looking at this setup (ProComp Switch Kit-Dual Heavy Duty for 4 Lights w/ relay). I can find it way cheaper than this website but to show what I am talking about this was easiest. I found it for around $30. For that price I would be close to that anyway if I were to buy all the wires and relays and everything seperate anyway so why not buy it right?

So my questions are these...

1) Anyone use this harness before?
2) If you have whats your thoughts on it?
3) If you haven't but have used some other harness link and opinion please?
4) Or should I just stop being lazy and do it myself?

I think if I do end up getting one I will get two so I can rewire all of my roof lights on a better system as well. I don't even have them hooked up right now since I cut the wires when I removed my rack for vaca. I did order some weather proof connectors to get that back going again but perhaps I will wait and redo it.

Way cheaper making your own Rex. I say buy 2 relays with the connections and wire them up on your own.

you can either wire them to 2 switches or one switch.. 1 relay per switch.

Study this diagram .

I normally pull my power from the battery. I think 12 to 14 gauge wire will be fine with the relays.

I'd just make my own as well. About $5 per relay, about $3 - $5 per switch, and maybe $15 for wires and connectors. Not to mention it will fit your truck better and you won't need to lengthen / shorten any wires.
