2012 F150 Spotlight Wiring

Hi,
I have a 2012 F150 XL 5.0L Supercrew. I have ordered a set of spotlights for the front (i live in rural MD) but was wondering does someone making a plug & play wiring harness for adding spotlights?
Also will the superduty upfitter switches fit into my F150 dash, i have the integrated brake controller but it would appear the upfitter switches are designed to plug into a harness and control remote relays. Would my harness be there taped up somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

What KIND of spot lights are they? Post or door mount or another type such as roof or front end mount? Actually pretty easy to wire whichever kind they are.

Lights are Hella Rallye 4000 Halogen Type bulb 100W each. They are being mounted on a light bar at the front of the vehicle. I wanted an easy way to wire these in.

I understand the relay feed should be picked up from the high beam feed then up to my dash switch then back to the relay. The main 12V power will be picked up from the battery or alternator. Both the main power and switching circuit will be fused (1A for switching and 30A for main).

I was hoping to find a wiring diagram of the plug on the rear of the headlight. I suppose i can probe to see where the voltage is when on high beam.
Wanted to make it as factory as possible and easy to remove as it is a company truck.

From what I can find on the myhellalights.com site, those are H1 bulbs.

Once you see the lamps ( when UPS shows up with them ) it will be obvious.
