Ok so I’ve posted about lighting before and I apologize if I’m bothersome but if I used a 40 amp relay from KCHiLights and then used the bronco up fitter switches, would they change the about of amperage I could put in a single switch?

You would use the upfitter switch to run the relay not the load. The point of the relay is to use the low amp upfitter circuit to controll a higher amp load. You should be fine just make sure the wire you use for the lights and battery are rated for the amp draw of your lights.
Wire the relay like this:
pin 30 to the battery with a fuse
Pin 87 to the lights you are adding
Pin 86 to the switch
Pin 85 to ground
You probably won't use pin 87a that will be hot with the switch off

Upfitters are trigger only. Wired correctly you’ll have no issues
