    Yep I relay everything..EVERYTHING haha and my switches control the ground side of the relays so no power runs through them much safer. Fused everything as well no matter what. Can't wait to add dual batteries.

    Mine are run hotter but there are no splices from the relay to the switch other than the one where i combine the front two relays to a single hot before the firewall.

    Yea I run 12 ga on most stuff some 14 but hardly ever 16.

    I like running just ground. Makes it easier too I think that way you just run power to the two pins then at the switch you just tie it into a ground right next to it. Then power from relay to lights. Easy money haha

    I'm gonna have to get into a proper aux panel soon, some guy on here started a thread taking an AC Delco fuse block out of a Saturn and modding it up, hope the guy succeeds, that would be a cool and cheaper way to go.

    Yea it's pretty slick. 5 relays and 10 fuses. Should be enough for half my setup. Just gotta figure out where I'm going to put itin the bed.

    Man Im looking forward to just a third light and you guys taking it to the next level. Even with such a basic setup, you wonder how you ever lived without em. Definitely a fun addition to a truck.
