Sure, or just hook them up individually to each 12v batt, thru a
breaker/fuse of course. One light would then require 2-way wiring without
using a ground return. Use high quality insulated wires and extra
protection at all chafe points ('mil-spec').

Unless you have a 24v batt. Do they even make 24v batts??
