Default How do I setup an Accessory fuse box?

I am trying to wire the angel eye leds to a seperate switch. And I'd like to just setup an accessory fuse box for that and some other things. Where do I wire in the extra fuse box?? Directly to the battery or some other way??


Thanks

If I were you, I'd run a main-line to the battery, but through a high power relay that recieves a signal from the ignition switch. This way, the aux panel shuts off when the car is off. Your best bet is to salvage a fuse panel from the junk yard.

Assuming that you are looking for directions on hooking up the relay, search for fog lights. I've done a few writeups on this topic. If I can find it, I'll let you know.

Ok so I just bought a "Add a circuit" and was told on another forum that I can just pop that into a fuse and then hook it up to my led light circuit

Are there any issues I should be worried about by doing it this way??

Adding a circuit doesn't do a thing for control. It just gives you a place to tap power.

I have the add a circuit wired to the switch which is then going to be wired to the leds and the ground


Is there anything else I need to do??
