I really dont have a ------- clue what im doing, and these lights are self grounding, so as soon as you mount them on metal they ground out

just run thick wires in between the lights amd battery, ditch the relay, use a switch that can handle the current, and add a FUSE right off the battery

Yeah, definately use a relay. Get one of those cheap Bosch style relays that are good for 30 amps.
