Just use the same wiring as you would for spot lights, but the trigger wire for the relays (1 per set of lights) would be the same wire and come straight from a 12v powersupply with a switch instead of the highbeam wire.

easy mate, get some 4mm cable to a relay on one side, then back out to all your lights, wire all lights up off this cable and fuse it to the battery, then run a light gauge wire to a switch in your cab from your battery then from the switch run to the switch side of the relay, run the other switch side to ground then when you turn the switch on, the relay connects all your rock lights to power, and you wont need massive heavy gauge wire running in your cab :)

ill get the proper relay pinouts for you when i get a chance

See this months issue of 4WD Action. I'd think the lenses would be smashed up too often.

Yeah, if half serious, really needs a bit of clear lexan or 10mm clear perspex mounted in front of the lights. Years ago when money was cheaper, I went silly and put 16 of those super cheap $25.00/pair lights over three vehicles. Five are smashed...

I would use 5mm instead of 4mm. 5mm rated at 25A 4mm is 15A
