Electrical tie-in

With so many people having bullbars and lights installed, I'm just curious as to where everyone tied-in on the fuse panel to power thier lights. I just ordered my Westin bullbar and KC Daylighers, and was wanting to get a jump on the wiring before i actually get the parts in the mail.

I used the Piaa's on mine, and the relay mounts under the hood, so I tapped right off the Battery post. Only the low current switch lead went through the firewall into the truck. If you want power in the truck, there is a power lug right next to the fuse box.

Great, thanks for the info. Do you know if that lug is fused or not?

I'd create a fuse block directly off of the battery.
