    Can anyone give me some advice with wiring up multiple LED lights. I have a front LED bar, aftermarket fogs and (2) 4" pods mounting on a rear facing bar. Do all lights run their own separate wires to the battery or do I need to get a blue sea fuse box to hook everything up? Any advice or photos would be great. thanks Terry

    I would suggest using separate wiring back to a common fuse block, and use relays and separate switches for each "grouping" of lights for control.

    There are so many fuse blocks out there is is crazy. I always say when thinking of a fuse block, count out how many circuits you think you will use, then double it. As for wiring size, it should be indicated in the installation instructions for the individual LEDs. Wire size is based not only on current draw, but on wire length as well.
