Spot Lights & Spot Bar

Hi Guys.

I have purchased X2 spot lights and a spot & flood bar.

I don't want to have it permanently fixed onto my car but rather have it attached to some powerful magnets which will be strong enough to hold it onto the metal of the car without falling off.

I bought some magnets already but unfortunately they were not strong enough and also the thread of the bar and spots which the nuts go onto are 10mm and the magnets came with 7mm.

That's the first issue I need solved ive tried online various places but cant find any strong enough magnets with 10mm diameter threads.

Secound issue I have and would like you guys to advise me on please is that I want this as a plug and play. I have bought two relays which have fuses on them and want to install them to the car battery. I want to be able to connect it so that when I place the spots or the bar on the cart I can plug it into a socket I have installed in my car. I was thinking of attaching the cables of the spots and bar to a lighter socket plug but think that the lighter socket may not be able to cope with the amount of power the spots and bar produce. I may be wrong so if you guys could advise me on that please would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Discovery 3 HSE 2007

I power my lightbar with this loom. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Wiring-H...iring+loom

There is a waterproof plug on there that I put just behind the grill so it's easily unplugged when removing the lightbar for access to remove the grill. On second thoughts, it may be that you will have to make up a short cable with the waterproof plug from your lights to the loom. I can't quite remember how I did it.
