Update:
I have finally gotten around to actually installing the basic lighting installation. I did not have 8AWG wire on hand so I doubled up 10AWG wire instead. It seems at. 14V the 10AWG byitself is sufficient but at 11-12V the extra capacity helps. Currently the lamps are being powered through a large continuos duty solenoid and a 60 amp fuse. However I am currently creating the parts order for the control board previously made in this thread. I am hoping to complete that within the next few months. The reason everything is going so slowly is due to money constraints and weather.
Attached is a photo of the 250 watt lamps in action. In total there is ~700 Watts of frontwards facing light. The high beams have 100 watt Philips RallyVision lamps in them aswell. Truely bringing the daylight to the night....
