Matt's Guide to wiring accessory lights, relays, & switches
Here are the schematic images in case the wayback machine is not available.
Schematic #1: Two lights with a relay controlled by a switch in the cab. Most of the kits you can buy come with all the equipment to do exactly this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schematic #2: Rather than using a switch, this will synchronize your accessory lights with one of your truck's stock lighting systems. I personally have my off-road lights setup like this so they come on/off with my high beams. You can use anything you want.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schematic #3: This is a combination of both. You have a three-way switch in the cab. The switch's positions are basically ON-OFF-AUTO. With the switch on, you get lights on no matter what. With the switch off, the lights are off no matter what. With the switch in auto, they will work like #2 and follow the existing high or low beams or whatever you choose.
