    I have a blue sea fuse block. Definitely makes it a lot easier and cleaner in the engine bay

    Here is my setup now. Like I said I know enough to get by but couldn't figure out a way to get the switch to cut off with the truck because having the power coming from the blue sea it provides power all the time to the switch but with your guys help I have an add a fuse on the way so I can connect the power how I warn it to be(switch only having power when the ignition is on). Just going to take the blue wire from the relay and run it to the ass a fuse so it should take care of my so called problem. It doesn't draw that much anyways but don't like having the power on all the time. I tested the draw and it wasn't enough to have created my bad battery that I originally had but I now have an optima yellow top. I don't have the skills like you guys have with building your own relay system but I am learning. It's amazing the toll a bad battery effects the performance of your truck. After installing the new batter it does feel like it has netter power and throttle response. Luckily I work in a CE unit and had someone help me make the holder and them I color matched it. The only other thing I have connected to the box right now is my hood LEDs that the ground is connected to a pin switch so it cuts off when the hood is shut. When I do plan on adding more light bars I will just have to put in another AAF right so the switch power will cut off right? How many of those can you ass before it gets to be RO much and ha e to go another route? Po ce again thanks for the help and giving me a problem solver fellas!!almost every light on my truck is led now except for the third break lights. Any suggestions on what kit to use on adding led bed lights?

    So if I have an external fuse box with five sets of lights and a compressor on it can I hook it up to a piggyback fuse for ignition power? And if so how many volts should that fuse be?
