How many lights? What wattage?

Roof rack is the way to go.

Yes, spotties run off a seperate relay circuit that is wired to the high beam circuit. If you want specific wiring info, PM Murcod directly.....

Just my two cents
but I reckon roof mounting is a shit idea.
They will be torn off on a tree sooner or later.

Not if you go those small 50mm styled ones ricers put in their bumpers.

If you do 4WDriving at night they do wonders, when dip into a rut or whatever your headlights generally point directly into the ground and you end up being in the dark, having them on your roof keeps the ground in front of you lit up.

So basically if you do offroading at night, good idea, if not, is it really necessary?
