Has anybody run the LVJ Motorsports relay panel?

FYI, I would never run any kind of light right from the High beam trigger wire. All that I tap into it for is to trigger a relay, it takes a few milliamps to close a relay and does not add any substantial load to the circuit. I have been running my set up for 2 years without issues.

I would like to also say that I’ve been running the Gen 2 Relay since May and it has been nothing short of amazing. What makes the relay even better? Keith’s amazing customer service of course!

here, on frf
How is your $375 relay panel different from wiring $7 relay to accomplish the same goal? Trying to understand the value proposition from your solution.
of course it will always be cheaper if you do it yourself. i personally wouldnt buy one, but thats because i know all about wiring and am in the automotive electronics industry, not for any other reason. what keith has done is made a solution thats easy for people who dont have the time to make a kit, or dont have the resources to parts to build it. being able to essentially add 6 aux switches to any trigger you want, is more than just a $7 relay. for a single application, sure one relay will work. but figure in 6 of them, a waterproof housing, main fuse, bolt on bracket, wiring haness, it adds up. as long as you follow the instructions, it removes the possibility of ******** something up for the less electrically inclined people.

Appears to be a great solution for those not wanting to or not able to reinvent the wheel yet have a need for it. Doubt I ever will, but saved the link just in case.

Thanks for all of the discussion on this product. Just ordered mine this evening. I have been relying on the relays built into the fuse block, however the more I read the more I realize Keith's product may save me some $$ down the road.

I’ve had mine for almost 2 years now and no issues whatsoever, other than the itch to keep adding more lights…

Ditto to ^^^^^^
Works flawlessly.
Ford dealership wondered what it was but then they typically hire Jr. High dropouts.
