I am going to try out these remote relays but with the light bar and hunting light I will need another 2 relays of higher amps that are triggered from the small remote relays.
Now a question that I asked earlier but seems to have been over looked was the solar panel.. is there a way that the lights on the roof can share the power cable coming from the panel????
The panel will top up your AUX battery, you cant run lights directly from the panel
your lights need to be powered by a battery then the panel charges your battery.
Dont run any of the lights from the start battery use the AUX thats what its for.
OOI what size is your AUX battery in AH ?
EDIT; If you have a 100amp alternator you might
want to think about a triple battery set up.

I dunno about those wireless relays mate, I think you'd be asking for trouble with them.
I disagree, I run all my lights of my main battery.
I use a pretty simple rule... anything that will be used while the engine is running comes off the main battery, and anything that would be used while the engine is off will be off the aux battery.
BA is running extra lights in remotish areas if hunting and the last thing you want is a knackered start battery.
, both systems will work , is more your alternator being able to keep up whats being used I suppose

Hunting light only is in use while the car is being driven..... even the work lights are for use while car is running.
whats the panel for to top up batteries during the day ??
