So my car is up at PMB performance for a little work. I am not much of an electrical type person, when it comes to cars. So I asked them to install fuses and relays for the headlights, fogs and horns. You know, switches getting a little old and don't want to put undo stress on them.
This is a picture of where they installed them. I think they did a nice job.
The fuse box is a BLUE SEA SYSTEMS–ST Blade Compact 4-Circuit Fuse Block
The relay box is a HELLA H84988001 4-Way Mini Relay Box Kit

IMHO & if you have a choice, fuses are best placed before all the wiring that provides the power. The basic fuse panel under the dash or close to the battery is actually the safest way to go. Fuses at the battery are the best.

Unless I am mistaken, the fuses do come in before providing power. The hot lead is at the bottom of the fuse box, through fuses with, leads providing power to the relays. The switches at the dash are just switching the relays on and off.
