    so i have 5 daystar 20amp switches which will be triggering relays to turn on whatever accessorys (HID, LEDs, compressor turn on).
    for the 12v goin to the switches im just planning on running say a 10ga power and pigtail each connector to power all the switches of the one cable. i have my wiring harness to trigger the relays already made up and will fuse those accordingly, but for the fuse on the switch side, what rated fuse would be a safe bet?

    i currently have 4 Hella 700FF lights which will get the DDM 55w HID kits installed, a 20" LED Light bar, and will eventually have LED rock lights, reverse lights and a turn on for a VIAR Compressor

    if you are only using the switches to activate the relays... a 10 amp fuse probably will do just fine. Amp draw will be very low. Are those switches lighted?
