Running lights off of distro blocK

[ultimate157 5,000+ posts]

I have 1/0 welding cable run to under my rear seat to a KnuKonceptz fused distribution block. From there I have 4ga to my 2000D, and I have an open space for another wire. Fuses are 300a up front, and two 150's in the block.

I want to wire up 8 off road lights for my Jeep, but instead of running all the way to the front with the wire, ripping everything out, would it be OK to run them off the distro block? I don't see any problems with this. They are small driving lights, not the huge 8" round ones.

BTW for the lights I'm using 4ga wire to a separate distro block, from there to a fuse block, to relays, etc.

The main unit is to be mounted in the cargo area on the side, which is why I want to tap off the line already in the rear.

Okay. . . but the distro runs to the battery correct? How are you going to turn the lights off?

With switches .... Thats why I said I had relays and fuses... heres a pic of what I have so far:

I will mount a distro block on each side from PE for ground and 12v+ distrobution to the relays/fuses.
