Troubleshooting Lights Not Working Properly

Question:

How would you go about wiring it to the battery and still being able to turn it on and off from the cab with the existing switch? If I did put resistors in line what size would I need?

I spoke with someone from Buyers Products about your issue. They suggested that running the Ultra Bright LED Flood Light - 9,000 Lumens - Black Aluminum - Clear Lens - 12V/24V, part # 3371492196, to your battery will solve your problem. There is not enough consistent power to run these lights from your existing lights on your vehicle. If you wire directly to your battery you will not need to add resistors to this setup.

You just need to connect it to a 12V source. I would test the lights first, by connecting it to a 12V source not connected to your vehicle. If the lights are working properly then I would connect to a 12V source on your vehicle. You will need wire and ring terminals and a new switch if you want to control your lights with just one switch. Resistors are not needed for this setup.
