does this light need relay installed

Not at all. It was an easy install. I had the wire go from the battery to the switch. The switch had a ground, then went from the switch directly to the light. Then I had to ground the light. It was super easy. I put an inline fuse between the switch and the light but I don't see the need for it. All you need is some wire and wire connectors and you're set

It would make life much easier if you did. There are some great relays sold here on Amazon.

No. It's a simple install that needs only a switch, and connection to 12V power and ground.

No. If you really like this fixture, I suggest you have an electrician install it. I think it's great the way it is ! (swags are over-rated !)

No but what I recall is that you just plug into this new headlight assembly from where you disconnect your old headlight. It comes with new lamps already installed and you should not need any wiring.

Sorry I didn't install it. Electrician did it. But the light is really nice. I like it.

It should be run through a relay. Unless you have a light switch and wireing that can handle the electrical load. Most switches are designed for low voltage and low amperage. Many LEDs may require less power to run but these light are very bright, create lots of heat and use more power then you think.

Nope, you need a ballast. Plug your light into a ballast then plug your ballast into a normal wall socket.

No it does not but I found another kit I'm going to try out and it comes with an relay

Toggle switch, I also put relay from parts store on it also but I don't think you need it

It draws less than 2 amps each. Once installed, I measured both lights at the same time and I remember it was beetween 3 and 4 amps. I didn't even install a relay-

I installed it on my GMC truck.It works well and has a long range too.It locks the doors, blinks the lights and honks if you push it twice while locking it.I didn't need any additional relays.

Yes the wire is included, but the relay is not. I am not handy at all and was able to install it off the battery. Worked we'll.

Yes JR, wiring harness includes weather proof connectors that connect to the light pigtails, wiring to run to a switch you mount inside your vehicle including an inline fuse, and the switch itself. No relay however since the lights are only 13 watts each, no relay needed they claim. I added a relay anyway and am running 2 sets of 20211s from one switch (through a relay).

Yes, you simply need to add it to the outdoor floodlight socket holder base plate that the unit does NOT come with, and then wire accordingly,

The light only pulls 10 amps, so you can get a heavy duty rocker switch and wire it that way and be fine. I used a relay just because I could feed smaller wires through the firewall to the switch and if I wanted to at a later date add more lights controlled by the same switch.

Hi Kao, The wiring diagram is on the relay itself. I was looking for a separate wiring diagram but discovered the markings on the relay when I held it up to the light. Each pole has a n/o & n/c position. Hope this answers your questions. It's working great for me.

I didn't run a relay. Just a wire from battery to the hot side of a switch with an inline fuse. Then from the switch to one red wire on a light. Then wired lights together. Then ran another wire for ground and connected it to both black wires. Super easy to install. Great lights.

I didn't use any relays, since they are LED the current draw is low, If my math is correct, each light draws about 1.5 amps.. I'm using them as back-up lights for my 2003 Ram 2500.
