Getting through the firewall...

But, I only want 1 switch, so can I splice the wires together so it can all be powered by a single switch?

Yes, you can do that with no problem. The relays draw less than one amp each. You can buy any switch you want, such as a lighted toggle and drill a hole in a blank for it. Wire the switch to both relays and you'll be drawing less than two amps thru the switch. That's the beauty of using relays. The switch never sees any of the high load needed to power the lights. Only a small current goes thru the switch to trip the relay and allow the high current to travel thru the relay only.

Maybe you could find a three-way switch. One position is off, next is one hot wire to one relay, next position is two hot wires to both relays. Your choice of two or four lights with one switch.

Also, be sure to power those relays separately. Run two wires from the battery to the relays. One wire to power all four lights would be a problem.

Cool, that's what I thought....I will promptly post the results. I have a few mods in the works to be done this Sunday.

ive got two switches... one powers two lights aimed off towards the outside of the headlight beams and one powers two lights aimed out farther than the head light beams but straight... i like having two

and yea you should be fine with 1 switch powering two relays for two sets of lights if you want to go that route... make sure you have clean (fused - divide your wattage by 14 to get how many amps your fuse needs to be... ie two 70 watt lights would need a 10 amp fuse ) power going to your relays
