55 watt lights x 2 = 110 watts/12 volts ~ 10 amps. I don't think the factory harness or the computer would appreciate that. I'll tap the factory lamps to drive the relay that controls these lamps. But I need to get a bigger power feed to the back of the vehicle.

I mounted mine on my MBRP JK rack and wired them thru the top, to my relay system at the battery

Please excuse the cardboard template, it has nothing to do with the lights !!

The backup lights that come with the Shrockworks bumper are 55 watt each and they wire into the tailight wire. Seems to work on mine. SO far...
