[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8469102, member: 576029"] do you want to condense to a fewer number of switches? relays are what makes all of the wiring easy. you can group relay controls pretty easily. yes, you will want a fuse distribution block and grounding block for wiring the group of lights. a single run to the battery and a single ground is certainly doable. you will also have wiring for control of the relays. relays coils can share ground with the lights and you can wire the switches "hot". you will need as many switches as the amount of control you want. good resources for learning about relays are here: [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/relays/relays.asp"]Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT), Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) Automotive Relays[/URL] [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/relays.htm"]Relays[/URL] [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/swrelay.htm"]Controlling a Relay with a Switch[/URL] [/QUOTE]
