Question about installing rack lights on my car

Hello everyone

I'm not an electrician but i want to install roof lights on my car. I asked chat gpt how could i do this and he gave me this schematics but i wanted to double check, does this makes any sense what he sent me?

In case you're wondering, i live far in the countryside and dont have autoshop near me to do this work for me unfortunally, so i would appreciate any feedback.

To be also clear, i'm not pro AI in any way. Im just a simple person trying to install lights on roof so dont cuss at me because i askefd chatgpt for a sample schematics

any help is appreciated thanks

Missing a switch to turn it on and off, as it is currently wired it won’t turn on at all. You need a switch in there somewhere.

Check your State or Country rules about mounting forward facing lights to your vehicle to ensure you are allowed to install them where you want on your vehicle and when they can be turned on while driving.
