Relay Install Pics? Please.
Hello,
Getting ready to order some goodies for the truck. I've been looking at wiring and relay setups to use with the up fitter switches. Was wondering if you guys could post some pics of where you installed relays for extras like lights and stuff. I think I'm leaning more towards using a water proof box, fuse /relay set up but haven't really found anything I like yet.
As always, Thanks in advance.

i chose to add relays to control my light bar, so I could turn it on and off with the normal high beams. the relays were waterproof and I hung them behind the headlight, as I needed to get access to the high beam power to turn on the relay. (one for upfitter on, one for brights on).
altho the upfitters are rated at amps, I am a firm believer in keeping the power draw out of the dash.

Not a great pic but this is where my airbag relay is hiding. Lightbar relay is mounted near the left battery.

The Bosch and similar 30 amp relays are watertight. You can put them in an enclosure but it is not needed. You need to insulate the connections is the key to the installation. I would buy relay holders to plug the relay into.
