Recently purchased some lights for my light bar (roof) got the lights and instructions and they make NO SENSE. Plus not too knowing of the working of wiring for vehicles..(sad i know) Im at a stand still.. Anyone know how to wire these things. or a site where I can find some BARNEY STYLE instructions on how to wire my lights up.
I have the explorer PRO COMP 100w 6"lights. set of 4 that will be used 2 per switch.

That's bad, just ask the next 16 year old you see in a honda civic with a stereo, he's an expert on electronics for sure.

I figured it out. THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (WIRING WISE) is TOTALLY WRONG... Now i just have to figure out how to wire it to my headlights so that they are powered through them and are controlled better.

I would wire a relay to your battery to control the power supply, this relay is wired to something that is on when the ignition is on. Then run the power wire from the power relay to the other relay(s) that control your lights, either together or separate, then wire these relays to your fog light switch(s). If you get lost in the wiring, an auto parts store will help you figure it out, just ask. Your dealer should also have an aftermarket installer available if you decide to pay someone to install your lights.

Do not use anything else to "power" your lights except a new power source and a relay, as was mentioned above. Those lights will easily draw more amperage than most stock wiring will be able to handle, and WILL start a fire. I'd suggest having someone that knows wiring to install them, or make sure you are doing it correctly.
