im gonna run some kc's soon and i wanna power em from the battery, but i am probably gonna get a few, so i dont wanna run em straight out of the battery. is there a way to put in a fuse on the fusebox and have it powered?

any diagrams or pictures would be awesomely helpful.

google add a circuit
wow. now thats cool, but with that, you would have to leave the cover off of the fusebox wouldnt you? what happens if it gets wet?
how would you run something out of that. like thats the input, then where do you plug in the wire for the lights that would go to the relay or whatever to give it power?
On your wiring diagram, there is a + meaning it is hot. Find a fuse that is hot when you want it to be hot and connect your add a circuit on the said fuse. butt connect the + wire to that. You will still be able to close the fuse panel no problem
wow. forgive me, i wasnt thinking at all. there were like 3 dumb parts to that last question. makes perfect sense. is there an ad a fuse w/ 2 extra spots so i can run 4 lights out of the same fuse slot?

You are forgiven :)

There is not an add a fuse like that. Didn't the lights come in pairs any way? If so, I am guessing that there are harnesses provided?

IF this is the case, then each harness says to go to hot when you want it to. When you run the wire to hot, then run those wires to one switch so you control the whole new lighting circuit and all 4 lights with one switch.

BTW, you can purchase those at your local auto store
the add a fuse has a fuse for the circut you want to run and then a replacment for the one that you took up......
yea, json, i kinda figured that out after a few minutes of embarassment...
yes there are harnesses provided. its really not hard at all to hook up, i was just trying to make it even easier.
