Depends how much current the lights pull.

53 watts is ~4.5 Amps at 12 volts so you can wire them however you want.

AUX 1 is 30 amp, AUX 2 is 15 amp, the remaining switches are all 10 amp. So yeah, you can wire them however you want really, plenty of room to put them all on the same switch if that’s what you want.

You should really only load up a circuit to 80% so as long as you are under 8 amps you’re good to go. Now it is also going to depend on where you locate the lights you will have to run wiring, I mean the switches are pre wired to different locations .

Also worth noting that the the switches themselves all terminate in the engine bay near the fuse box.

There are pre-run unconnected 16 gaugewires that run to various parts of the truck (front grille, glove box area, top of windshield, passenger rear quarter panel, etc.), but they are unconnected from the factory. You can connect any of the switches to any of those unconnected wires, but there is only enough wires for four switches. If you want to go beyond that or if you need to run higher gauge wire for more power hungry electronics you're on your own.

This has probably been answered previously but waiting a year and a half at this point , I have forgotten a lot of the little things that's been said about the mythical Bronco .

The switch wires that terminate under the hood , are they after going through a relay or or they directly coming from/thru the switches ? I would never run anything over 1 amp thru a switch no matter the rating . Any accessory should always go thru a relay and the switch simply activate the relay unless you want to be replacing switches later on down the line .

Ford doesn't say, but one would assumed they are relayed. AUX 1 is a 30 amp circuit and having a 30 amp circuit going through the switch over a 16 gauge wire would be ridiculously stupid.

BUT, assuming is probably a bad idea.

Ford has relays for their aux switches, at least based on my experience with other Ford products and their aux switches.
