Hello RF, I have a question. I bought a set of 4.5" 25w light cannons a year ago. The kit came with 2 lights and a wiring harness.

Well, I just recently picked up two more 4.5" 25w Cannons. I want to run 4 of my cannons off the original wiring harness that came with the kit I bought a year ago. I want to use this in order to do it:

Sorry for the below sloppy ass wiring photo. I am not very savy electrical wise. These are the same wires (which I am not using) on my already installed wiring harness for my existing 2 lights.

Just looked them up, is the red and black wires the single end of the pigtail?

Check this photo out bro. You see the light cannon already mounted and an open hole next to it for the other light. I have this set up on both the driver and passenger side. Anywho, follow the wiring up and you will see the connector and red and black wiring.

I plan on using that 1-2 connector there. So, the harness came with 2 cannons and I am adding 2.

Sorry, guess I'm confused... So from the connector down (thick black insulation) is the 1-2 harness plugged into the light? The connector with the red and black wires coming off are just bare wires that need to mate to power source?

I can see why you could be confused. I took that photo when it was pitch black out hahaha. So, I drew a little something something. The drawing is God awful. So, if you are still confused at least you can get a good laugh.

In this photo I have one light per side with a wiring harness already installed. I just picked up two more lights to fill the other holes but I don't want to add another harness and switch. I just want to use a 1-2 connector on each side of the bumper.

Without further ad'doooo.....

So the 2 you have know are working? Mount the other 2 plug the 2-1 adapter into the lights and connect the single end to the wiring harness. Should be plug n' play, I'm guessing that the bare wires are from the new lights? If so, toss em' in a box and just use the 2-1 adapter. You only need one harness for 2 to run all 4, if it's getting ground and supply to your lights that you're wanting then we can move past this point.

Ok cool. Yes I have power to the two existing and Correct I won't be using any of the old chopped up wiring harness I got for the two new lights. Just the 1-2.

I just wasn't sure if that harness I got for two lights could support 4 total. Based on what you are telling me is that it will. Which I am glad. I will post some photos once I get it all mounted. I am pretty stoked about it. :)
