Relay box and wiring info needed for multiple lights
I am wiring up 8 lights ( 4 sets of 2). 3 of the sets come with wiring kits and I have to build a wiring kit for the last set. I am wondering if there is a good relay/fuse box that I could use to help clean up the wiring mess that will probably result. Any info is appreciated.

This guy just stopped producing these a few months ago, but the thread shows most of the simple parts and wiring to build your own. I was lucky enough to have ordered/received one in the late summer, but before ordering one, I looked into building one, and the cost to build one was not much different than buying his. So the point is that you could build one for +/- $100....NOT BAD. Then add some switches in the Jeep as you see fit for another $20 to do it simply...or go fancy with the Ruged Ridge A-Pilar or Daystar Console Panel for $60. Still a very reasonably priced solution.

I have similar questions, but didn't want to start a whole new thread:
For wiring multiple switches, can I run one positive wire with an inline fuse and branch it off after the fuse to the switches, or chain them together? Or would I have to wire them all separately with their own fuses? And can I run the switches off the same positive source? I've read a lot of people saying the use the cig lighter, accessory power outlet, or doing the fuse tap.
Any help is appreciated.

How much did that setup right there cost you, and were you able to simply connect each component directly to the power module (versus installing additional relays)?
How/where did you install and protect the power module?
Also, did you buy the fitting for the cup-holder separately, or did you have to make it yourself?
How would you compare it to the known ease of install/use of the sPOD?

Cool setup! A few questions:

I installed the control Modual under the wiper bonet (For Ease to the power and Ground)...and used 338 Electrical greese on all my Connectors
Excuse the mess....It was the middle of last winter when I did the install. All the relays are built in...and reset with the Key turn.....Very nice system!! Its a Single
Mini-Multi wire from the modual to the key pad and as you can see drom my first pic....you can run (6) separate systems.....plus you can stack the moduals to control
more. Give them a call.....Great guys!
