Adding a fuse box and wiring up the lights
#1
Began wiring up my lights today.
I bought an auxillary fuse box from Mike at 4x4rockshop.com so I wouldn't end up having 5 extra wires running directly to the battery terminal. Also keeps me from having to use beaucoup in-line fuses.
I took my time to try to keep the wires all together. I re-ran my fogs to the new box too. Everything powerwise, fuse, relay, etc is ready, I just have to finish the wires to the lights and switches. I'll be running the power to the lights along the frame rail then to the rear pillar, up and exiting above the hatch to the rack using the plastic sheathing to reach the lights.

Got everything wired up on the lights. Ran the wires all the way down the frame and up at the rear hatch. All the switches are in too. They are all aftermarket but they look like they belong (Radio Shack part# 275-731 / $3.99).
