[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 435940, member: 432"] I think you are asking if it OK to run the wire from the switch to the LED's in front directly and have the fuse box "upstream" of the switch panel? You could but you will lose the ability to have a fuse for each circuit on the panel. The fuse panel would have to have a high amp fuse large enough to handle the entire load from all of the items the switch panel is operating. If you are only running one item on the switch panel and you get enough amps to blow the high amp fuse you may also be getting close to frying your wires on that circuit depending on their gauge. Myself, I would run the wires from each switch on the switch panel to a dedicated fuse on the fuse box and then you will be able to use a lower amp fuse there to protect the wires in that circuit. I hope I didn't confuse you with my explanation but I am not sure exactly if that is what you were asking. Someone here may be better able to help you. [/QUOTE]
