I’m adding a light bar and pod lights to my 40. Where can I wire for power? I used an add a fuse on my tacoma (1 Viewer)

This may be a noob question but where are you guys getting power for your light bars and accessories? I wanted to connect to my fuse box but our fuse boxes are not exactly friendly to piggy backing off for power by added an “add a fuse” any tips or recommendations ?

Straight to the battery with a relay. Use the high beam as a trigger to fire the brights with high beam.

Personally I also like to have an isolator switch so that high beam can be had without light bar etc

Its best to create a secundaire wire harness with aseperate fuse box. That way you Don’t have to slice into the OEM wire harness. Just draw up the schematics before wiring.

whT do you think about wiring in a secondary fuse block and then connecting it to an Spod for auxiliary lights, fridge?

As long as you use the right wire thickness and fuses. Keep in mind that Your alternator has to keep up with demand.

I just have a light bar and 4 pod lights, they will likely not be used at the same time

Probably led too, should not be a problem.
when you setup an extra fuse block use a relais switched from the ignition for 50% of the fuses.
