Light bar wiring

Brycegreg15

1️⃣ Getting Started...
So I just recently purchased the hiline bumper with the clearance wings for my truck. It has 3 slots for light bars 2 for 6” and 1 for 20” light bar. Ive never had interest in getting light bars but now I have 3 empty spaces in the bumper and would like to fill them with light bars. Can someone please explain the easiest and most legit way to wire all three of these in? Also not looking to spend a crazy amount on light bars so if anyone has any suggestions on some decent ones so I don’t break the bank on lights that would be very much appreciated.
 
I've seen a lot of people use Auxbeam auxiliary lighting and they seem to like them. I don't have any experience with them, but they seem to be fairly bright for not a lot of dollars (I run Baja Design).

Wiring can cause big issues if you don't do it right. It's not difficult to do, but you can catch your truck on fire if you do it improperly, so watch some videos on adding aux lighting so you know what you're getting into. If you want all 3 lights on 3 different circuits, then you will want to run 3 separate relays with 3 separate switches, so everything is controlled individually. All of my accessories go thru an Overland Equipped aux panel and are controlled by factory-style switches and relays. I cut up the wiring harnesses that were provided with my kits to make them work with my application.

These guys do a great video on it:
