Offroad Lighting

I'm curious if anyone can chime in on the "Do's" and "Don'ts" of accessory lighting on the R60.
I am wanting to add a light bar at the roof and a couple lights at the forward grill. In doing some research on this, I have found a lot of (conflicting) information regarding proper wiring and power requirements.
I am looking for some feedback from those of you who have a little extra lighting. What did you do for wiring? Did you have to add transformers? Extra power supplies? What lights did you go with?

and now I wait.....

PS - I couldn't find this thread already started, so I posting it here. I apologize in advance if it's in the wrong spot.

I put this kit in our R57 and on to our R60. Pretty straight forward installation process. I wired off the cigarette lighter power instead of the high beams for the relay, so they still go off when power is off, but are not dependent upon the HBs. I wanted to go off HB, but found nothing indicating what wire to key off.

Glad you hear these worked out for you! I can check to see if there is an easier connection for the HB.
