Default Aux lights help

What's the easiest way to power your offroad lights, where's the easiest place to run the wires when mounting on the bumper, then how do you mount the switch??

Battery or fuse box, use a relay, use zip ties to secure the wires in the engine bay, mount the switch by cutting a hole somewhere near all your ac and radio controls (or wherever you want), look up wiring diagrams using google.

wire them to the battery, use a relay and inline fuse.

this is one way with an indicator light to tell you they are on.
