you could do it in series, but if one bulb goes, they all go. SO you wouldn't know which one blew. In parallel (separate) they will work independently of each other......It's just like christmas lights when you buy the cheap ones...when one bulb goes...the whole string goes....and it sucks to try and find the bad one.....

I agree, wire them in parallel. If I remember correctly (and I actually got an electrical engineering degree?) bulbswired in parallel all get the same voltage but different current but in series each bulb a long the string gets less and less voltage but the same amount of current.

you are correct. wire them in parallel unless the manual calls otherwise. If each bulb is a 12vdc bulb you have to wire them parallel. If they are not, then the harness for this pack should have already been wired in series. You will know it if you wire them in parallel and they weren't supposed to be because they will blow in a few seconds.
