I've got pro comp lights and I love them! I've got output pics in my build thread on page 20something. They are like $20-30 a piece and worth every penny!! And yes use a relay when you wire them. Check your local laws cause in many states it's illegal to have any other lights on when your brights are on. Your best bet is I to wore them to a switch in the cab.

Alright cool thanks yeah Im out in colorado for school and i know its not illegal here or you wont get pulled over for it but back in Wisconsin its illegal to have any modified lights so thats where i wasnt sure. But when you get them did you get the wiring harness off the internet or go into an auto store

I made my own harnesses for all my lights. It's cheaper and I can build them to fit. Where in WI you from?

Holmen Its in La crosse county you from Wi. Yeah thats true so when you built it did you put fusses on the wires or did you just hook it up to the relay beacuse ive seen it done both ways

I am from southern WI. I use fuses in any wire I run from the battery just for insurance! I used relays to wire the lights as well I have pics in my build thread of the wiring setup I built
