I have the wires going into the driver side From a plug (Firewall) that I took off. The initial wire channels itself from the Passenger side to the underside of the hood(Battery area).

Did not get a relay...It Does'nt worth it!

Any idea how many Amps those lights pull? You might want to check the current draw and make sure it's safe without having a relay. I guess if it burns up a switch or you have a wire fire or something you'll know it wasn't

That reminds me, I forgot to ask Santa for an inductive ammeter this year Those suckers aren't real cheap and I keep putting off getting one.

55w per lamp times four lamps equals about 18 Amps of juice! a $20 relay is cheap insurance.
