Upfitter switch relay needed????

I plan on hooking up some auxilliary back up lights to one of my upfitter switches. 110watt combined on the lights. Do I need to install a relay or can I just wire them straight to the hot lead for the switch?

Switch's 1 & 2 are 30A and should be fine. 3 & 4 are 10A and would be to weak.

wire them straight to the wires rwilimo said to. The relays are in the box you upfitter harness is connected to, right above your glovebox.

10A to weak for 110W?? By my calculation, 110 watts at 12 volt is only 9.17 amps. A 10 amp cicuit in 12 volt is good for 120 watts. He should be able to use any of the upfitter switches.
