    I use a tiny ratchet with a 4mm or 5mm socket. Kind of hard to reach in there but it works.

    I just bought a blue seas box today. Wish I would have seen this first. I think I'll be selling the blue seas and getting this instead. Much simpler and cleaner.

    do you have your retrofit running off of this?

    Haven't wired it up yet. Haven't had a warm day off work yet. I may leave just my lights hooked straight to the battery and clean up the wiring to make it unnoticeable. Plan just to run accessories to it, I kind of consider those as upgrade to stock over accessories.

    Fun fact: Bluesea is a lifetime product. Ever have a problem with an old rusted out fuse box or fried breaker? Send it back and they'll give you a new one. Learned that at work today.

    Eh, I'd be surprised if this thing got any water damage. I can't even get the cover off without using a screwdriver of back of a knife because it's so airtight haha

    Oh that wasn't a knock on your relay box. That thing looks awesome. I saw you used a Bluesea breaker so I thought it was relevant info.

    Gotcha haha

    Yeah, I'm hoping that I didn't get to big of a breaker. I think it'll work fine though.

    Well if the cable going in/out of it can handle 150a, it'll be fine. If not...you may have some melted cable if something shorts out at the battery.

    Thinking about doing another retrofit.... Was wanting to gauge the interest on my current set of headlights. It would come with everything you need to run it.

    Haha see I would, but at the same time I can't guarantee that I can do those. Depends on whether or not I can get the lights apart with a heat gun.

    Plus I should really start taking college classes, which will take up my time. It was more of an open thought to see if I could even get any buyers before I decide to make a new set for myself.

    It cost me $350 in parts so I'd say that much at least is what I'd like to get. Already have new ballasts on their way for the recall so they would be brand new.
