I got my hummer h2 with the XTC bar lights. 110 watts total on 4 lights , i dont have the wiring harness and they want 250.00 dollars for it which i find very expensive , so i'am going to make my harness. The lights have 2 wires one black and one white is the black ground and the white power . Anybody that can answer me please let me know . RKI

DC doesn't really matter.... but black is usually always ground in a DC circuit.

I agree with muddydawg75, black should be ground in the GM wiring. However, black is always hot in other applications. I would consult Chiltons or the dealership to be sure because the color codes are variable in cars. White would be neutral in other applications.

You should be fine.... the lights are not gonna matter... Just run a ground to the black throughout.... run a red wire to the line side of the switch and a red from the load side and to the white wire and you will be fine... if you want to get creative use two switches and run outsides and insides...
