Had a question on powering multiple light locations. How do you all get power to each individual set of lights? Do you run power from the battery to all the lights or just to a central terminal block or similar? It doesn't seem to make sense to me to have to run a power wire all the way to the battery for each set of lights?

Buy a fuse box, run that to the battery, run the lights to the fuse box.

there's the fuse box idea mentioned
wiring harness you can buy or make
switch (forum rules prohibit me from finishing that thought) and wired hdh solutions

going back to the battery would be the least desirable of all optios I would think

Just so you have an idea read this thread ....

Fuse blocks are nice. They can save you a little time and headache in the wireing process. But you can't just go out and buy one without considering what all you plan on connecting to it. Each fuse block has a load rateing. And most of the cheep blocks have a pretty low load rateing. So do your homework before you run right out and buy one.

Running straight back to the battery will eliminate the planing for the fuse block. But you still need to take into consideration the new loads placed on the OEM system. And you will have a few more wires and in-line fuses to deal with

If you plan on a lot of extra accessories like radios, CB's, Nav systems, Ect Ect ( stuff that just need power when the accessory circuit is on ), then a fuse block is the way to go ( done correctly ). But if you are doing lighting loads, then most likely, you will still need relays to go along with those systems. So a combination fuse / relay block would be an improvement ( still considering total loads on the block ).

Hope this helps.

Thanks to everyone for their insight into this!
