I realized that, with the MRAP light kit, I had all of the light I needed up front and on the sides, but had neglected the back of the truck. This kit fit the bill.
The only issue is he doesn't have the slave plug adapter for them.
After chewing on it, I decided one of my slave cable connectors could be sacrificed until such time as I get my M37 running and then I'll get more.
First i called Fuzzy asking about wiring and spoke to his tech about wiring it, and had i just taken the time to look before calling, could have saved them both some time....
So... here's what I did:
First I opened the connector up and saw that + and - were clearly marked.

Second:
Using my meter, I verified that "A" and "B" were + and "C" was ground.
(The other end of the cable has a screw type adapter that goes to each individual light.)

Then I cut the cable at the end I connected my slave cable connectors to and realized there are only two wires in it. White is + and Black is -.

Then using ring terminals, connected the wires to the connector, plugged it in and verified voltage on the correct wires.

Then, a bench test to ensure both lights worked

Then I sealed the wire into the connector by making a plug with silicone and electrical tape, then made a "blanking" plug for the right side and tested everything again.

The great thing about this kit is the lights are magnetic, swivel and come with 50' of cable, so whether I'm working under the hood, in the bed, under or away from the truck, I have lights!
Should you not have a slave cable connector, you can wire them directly to your batteries and run the wire through the battery vent on the cab, but once connected, they're there.
