I have installed it successfully and I stare at the sun for relief. Total time from start to finish was approximately 5 hours, 11 minutes. Lets do a light bar party and cut it down to 22 minutes! Who's with me?  Kurotogane

Do u add another relays making it  a series of 2 lamps thus half the voltage and then make it parallel connection for full voltage?

I dont think that would work, you would need to add some other resisters I think.

How about a dimmer switch ( Like the one we use in the home) but made for 12dc applications
