Where to add relays and fuses with F-650 dash

[JD3020]

Looking for a clean way to add some fuses and relays for some toggle switches in my F-450. Nothing will have any sort of heavy draw. At the moment i'm planning on adding a switch to run my LED strobe lights, 3 switches for my power extend/fold/heated 08+ mirrors, and a switch for some LED spot lights on the bed. I want them all to be key on power, except for the spot lights which i'd like to have constant power. I'll be putting all the switches on a F-650 dash like this.

Get yourself a blue sea fuse block and then add your relays off that under the hood. Then all you need is power wires for the lights in the switches and a wire running from the relay to the switch. All power and ground can be jumped to each switch for a clean install.

Thanks for the tip! I like this block, looks like it'd be pretty easy to hide somewhere out of the way.

But i've been looking at switches and will be going with the typical Carling switches which are rated at 20A. Did some reading and i think i'll have about 10A at the most for my strobes. Looks like i can come straight out of the fuse block and into the switch, and out to to my accessories. And then do like in your pic and hook all the power and grounds for the lights together. Any reason why that wouldn't work?

This looks great, I'd love to do this...how hard was it fitting the edge..

Not mine, wish it was though! I plan to do the same exact thing though, i've even been thinking about getting a back-up camera and mounting the display down there.
