    Did they come with wiring kit? - relay, switch, wire

    There are a few threads already on wiring them up, not too difficult

    n then another pieace of wire runs to the switch
    is that all it is
    i only got 1 pieace of wire with it so witch side do i connect to the batty

    Yeah its just one long skinny black wire?

    those wiring kits the lights come with are CRAP! non insulated crimp terminals and you can only use that black wire for the switch, its not heavy duty enough to use for the lights, and no you cant use speaker wire!

    You are far better off going and purchasing a proper wiring kit from supercheap or somewhere, thats my advice.

    Theyre just called a driving light wiring kit, about $25 - much better than mucking around with what comes with your lights, because you still need a fuseholder for the main power wire to the battery, insulated terminals, and higher gauge wire for the lights. By the time you buy that stuff you would have been better off buying the kit.

    No speaker wire will not carry the current needed by the lights - not recommended.

    Yes but those terminals are not insulated, you would have to wrap all joins with electrical tape. I wouldnt try using that kit, it doesnt come with everthing you need so best to buy a proper kit that has a fuseholder and correct wires.

    Heres a quick diagram

    Yeah thats just an example diagram. The kit makes things much easier, jst plug and play, only thing you have do is crimp on the lights.

    Are they small fog lights or bigger driving lights? being 100w i would think they are the bigger driving lights, depending how big they are you can either mount the directly to the bumper reo or you may need to buy a light bar.

    There will be a metal tab on the globe-holder. you need to crimp a female spade terminal onto the wire to connect it
