Where to tap into a "switchable power" source?

Any suggestions on which fuse block fits well?

PDM-60 Electronic, programmable and expensive. Pretty cool though...

I have the FZ1. Relay is built in and you can have six separate circuits - each can be switched or not switched with 12 V trigger. No problems in 7 years and 100,000++ miles. Max of 10 amps per circuit and 30 amps total.

I have a new PDM-60 I'm not going to use. PM me if interested. Good price.

Actually, I think I have two of them. Somewhere. But that's a different story!

I just tapped into the brown wire feeding the power plug to the glove compartment to power the relay for my auxiliary lights?

I assume that the load is low enough not to cause any issues.

A relay coil takes very little current. Absolutely no problem.

Thank you all for your assistance, I have fitted a "Fuzeblock" under the seat and with a bit of re wiring all is working well.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
