@Kmandoske is a member here and makes this upfitter relay panel for our Gen2 trucks. Really unbeatable for the money and its size factor. His kit is actually slightly revised since these first pics, inline power line fuse and includes a bracket now too. He can set all 6 switches up with 30 or 35a relays too. When running these BD hi power bars and XL pods, the load adds up fast

I built a panel for my Gen1 and had waaaaaaay too much time and $ into it to do it again vs going the LVJ route, plus mine took up 6x the space. http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f170/%A1m%E1s-factory-upfitters-easy-access-wiring-30527/

That's cool nice and small. I wish I went with something smaller but I have way too much stuff.

Hi all - wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this relay box. I ordered my first set of lights and they are M&R dual 40" bars. I want to tie them both to a single AUX switch (since I ordered both white). This will be 16.6 amps on a switch. I was thinking about getting this relay kit and wiring it in to all of my switches, then just adding a fuse / relay into the correct spot when I add a light. Thoughts on this? I know there are vendors that sell similar kits pre-built, but I can't justify spending $300 on one when I can build my own for under $50. Thanks in advance.

I have that box and think would certainly suggest it. The box is the right price and the wiring isn't difficult.

The box above is great if you can figure out what wires go where. I own LVJ Motorsports and I make a relay panel that is water tight, mud proof and clean and easy to install, I just had back surgery for a herniated disk so I'm taking some time off. But If you need a relay panel . This is a link to the install video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrX1rmNT3TY

If you need one they are $325 each. Just give me a call and I'll see if I can get one done for you.

That is pretty cool. Like how simple it is. I’ll definitely keep this in mind for when I get my lighting sorted out in the next month. Thanks for sharing.

If you are pushing higher amps on your lights and want a clean easy install, Keith’s setup if really nice. Yes you can do it yourself, but it’s clean easy and then you can hit the dirt, the real reason u bought the truck. And btw it’s called raptor tax... Thanks I love the easy setup.

I think I’m definitely going to buy Keith’s kit once I add more lights, but for now I’m just going to add a single relay for my 40” lightbar. This is probably a stupid question but how do people tape into the batter power for the relay? Just wire direct to the battery?

Hi Keith,

I just purchased the fordraptorlights 3 bezel fog light kit and I'm interested in your relay box. Any possibility of you helping me with my wiring?

I want to run the 3 fog light sets individually with the auxiliary switches, (aux 1, 2, 3) and also need to attach ALL 3 sets to the hi-beam trigger as well. I'd like to be able to have all lights on when hi-beams activated. But also want the option to run them individually with the aux switches.

thanks in advance.
