you might have to drill into your roof in order to run wires, unless you can use existing holes from the roof rack. from your battery i would run 12 gauge wire to a relay switch, then straight to the lights. no need for a wiring diagram because you will be running your own wire. then find a good ground. sounds like they will be drawing alot of power. i believe your altenator and battery should be fine. i run after market PIAA fogs, 1000 w amp, and other stuff. just recently i upgraded to a optima yellow top, but my stock battery worked fine.

use the relay. the set should of come with a button to turn on and off the lights. there should be wires that where included in the kit that i can attach directly to the battery. usually those sets come with directions too.
