It depends on what type of lights and the wattage. Why run six more lights?

LTZ, I'm not sure what lights I want to run. Does it matter why I want to run six lights? Maybe I can't see well at night. Maybe I am scared of the dark. Why is it people like you can't just answer the question if they know the answer or not even butt in at all? You replyed to my question with another question. Quit wasting peoples time. Just my .02.

Nice attitude.............

I ask what type because if you run halogens they take alot more wattage then HID's. I only ask about the 6 lights because with the right lights you won't need 6. But seeing how you already know it all figure it out for yourself.

Good luck and welcome to the forums.

Some people ya just can't help. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Hard to answer without asking any questions.

It will tell you in your service manual what your system is rated. We'll just guess you read it. From that you should know how much power you have to run the lights. Then you should have also concluded that to run that many lights, it's not the battery, it's the charging system that may be of more concern.

My guess is a simple, and legitimate question bothers you that much, you'll never make it past any of the wiring problems you're going to encounter.
