Electrical help for some crazy idea I got

[Dan!]

Basically, I want to set up some 'floodlights' for when im at my bike jumps and it gets dark :dance:

My idea was, use an old car battery (which I have in my garage doing nothing) and buy some cheapy headlight bulbs for a car, then do some jiggery pokery with the wiring so I can just run the headlight bulbs off the battery.

Obviously it'd need a switch which is simples, and im guessing its going to want a relay so it doesnt melt the bulbs :think: but thats pretty much where im confused! Any body care to explain what I need to source?


Main things which I have or can get cheaply:

- Battery
- Battery terminals
- Headlight Bulbs
- Long length of fairly thin wire
- Fairly short length of thick wire
- On/off toggle Switch


Thanks
