I want to put 2 sets of driving lights (4 lights) on my front bumper.
I have looked at the wiring diagram in the WIKI. Can I run both sets off one relay or is it one relay per set?

Re: Driving Lights
Just doing a quick calculation... Yes, you can run all four from one relay. Just make sure your relay is rated for at least 10 amps (assuming each lamp is 21 watts).
Probably better to go for a common 30 amp relay found in most motor factors etc. Just to be sure.

Re: Driving Lights
One last question. The driving lights are Angel lights in a bank of 4 lights in the middle of the bumper.
However, wanted the set independently switched ie the out and inner ones on separate controls.
I've studied the WIKI diagram for Fog Lights. My question is pin 85. The diagram shows it going to the switch. After the switch does the wire go to earth and live feed back to the lights?
Ie can I run 2 separate switched lights off one relay?
