Im gunna run 2 set of hella lights up front, one set of driving lights and one set of fogs, and have them mounted on my sarfari bar, (got some custom light tabs welding to the top, kinda looks like a small prerunner bar), but my question is, you have to run a lead off the battery to the relay, and I dont wanna have two sets of leads coming off the battery to two differnt relays, cause it looks stupid, and plus I have a 8 guage power wire running off the battery already for my amp, and that will be three wires coming off the battery, so is there anyway, I can run the power off the other relay, or something??

are ther elays and the amp going ot mounted near the same place? Hypothetically, you can do what I did, get a fuseblock and mount it in there, run one power wire to it, and then take power off it to run to the seperate devices. I've got 6 power wires coming off the one fuse block (each 30 amp fuses) and I have a 2-guage wire running to the fuse block (though you probably wouldn't need that much). Check out www.mattstruck.com/f150lights.html for some pictures and such.
 






You can run one thick power wire then split it to the 2 relays. I would not tie into your stereo wiring.

Remember to fuse the power wire.
 






no, the amp is in the back,and the relays are right next to the battery on the inner fender well, and Im not running the relays off the stereo wire...
 






So what your saying is, just run a power lead off the battery to a independed fuse block, and run all my lights and such off there?? where do I get a fuse block at?
 






I got mine at Checker, it was like $8. Its near the fuses.
