as soon as I saw your ground, i stopped the video.
you need a better ground.
scrape paint away to get in contact with bear metal.
or get a screw into the frame for that connector.

also, you need to run a ground from your negative terminal to the chassis itself.

did you follow the wiring diagram that came with the lights?

it would be best to wire a relay, as that switch could potentially get hot and melt, trying to carry all the load.

I am an enginner by trade, and as you can see in the pic, this is a relay board I made for my race car.....

relay rack..



switch panel i made....

x2, paint isnt a conductor. Drill a small hole, sand the paint off around the hole, and screw that connector to the frame.

Is didnt look like you have a wire running from the negative battery terminal to the frame, do you?
