Wired up some ditch lights to my upfitter switches

noob question... can you tie both LED Pods Hot wires together and into one end of the butt connector and the pre rigged hot from the fuse box into the other end?
So one switch wire to 2 lights essentially?

Yes

Yes. At the end of the day how many items you tie to one connection is simply a limit of your wire gauge and relay and/or switch capacity.

My top rack forward lights (7 total connections) converge into a junction box on my roof and then that junction merges those 7 connections down to a single 8 gauge wire. Then that wire terminates at another junction box at the rear of my truck and converts to four 12 gauge connections which then feed into 4 relays to disperse power distribution, which are then single trigger wired together to my switch panel.

Similarly my forward bumper lights (4 total connections) more or less do the same thing among 2 relays.

Now obviously my setup is a bit more on the upscale size, in the case of 2 ditch lights you would just (PROPERLY) splice 2 connections down to 1 and then that 1 connection should go to 1 relay.

What convenient places are folks who are mounting on or near bumper finding to use for the chassis ground?

I mounted the Baja Reverse light kit up to ground on the bracket itself for right now. The Ground wire isn't very long and I would of liked to have bolted it inside the tailight area but couldn't figure out how to get those bots out from where I was working.

Looks great! I did ditch lights myself, also to ss6 bars in the bumper and one behind the grille. I used aux 1-3
