one more stupid question lol when wiring up the CREE LED lights I have 2 x 18.5w do I still use relay and fuse same as the halogen setup?? Im guessing they have a ballast or something inside lights?

I would but at about 1.5 amp each they're probably OK to be just wired direct from the switch.

Yes but it's cheaper and easier to use one heavy duty relay

I just purchased 2 after market LED off road lights and want to install them on the brush guard and tie it in directly to the fog lights on my 2013 LR4. Is this ok to do?

Depends on the lights and how much power they pull. As a general rule, no. you'd really want to wire then up through a relay that is switched on either by the fog lights, high beams (the typical choice), or a seperate switch.
