hey guys, i did a search and haven't found much.. i already have one pair of KC windshield mount lights and I'm adding driving lights to my bumper this week. i want to avoid making a birds nest under my hood and want to start a clean wiring set up. i like what i see from blue sea systems but i can't find a switched fuse box and i know can add a relay but won't the wires be too thin to handle the power? i see a system on quadratec for a few more bucks with a relay but it doesn't seem as weather proof. can somebody lead me in the right direction with a good wiring diagram or switched aux fuse block? thanks!

Look at a boat supply dealer (waterproof), I installed a fuse panel up high on the passengers side kick panel ran two wires through my firewall form the battery and tapped all my lights from there.

I understand the need for a "power distribution box" if you plan on having multiple outputs. But switching the entire block is unnecessary for lighting outputs. All you need to switch from the accessory is ( 1 ) control circuit. Use this circuit to feed all of your switches. So, when you turn off your Jeep, your switches don't work.
