Yeah, I'll do the 8, just in case.

So, winch aside, connect this product in (power box, switch panel, circuit breaker), then everything runs to it (power box)? No other power runs, no switch runs, no relay runs? Correct? Acc power to Honda harness, or into the factory fuse box?
Correct. IIRC, there is a multi strand cable that runs from the switch panel to the relay/fuse box. Power from the battery (+) to a breaker, then to the relay box. Ground the box. You run your power wire from the relay box to your accessory and run your ground wire from your accessory to wherever you want. You can use the Honda accessory harnesses to trigger the relay box. It's been a minute since I've looked at mine, but I'm pretty sure that's it.

I just looked up this Auxbeam 8. Absolutely 100% buy one. It's looks super easy to hook up. In my scenario it's the terminal bar, fuses and switches all in one. I remember reading about them in another thread now. You will still have to connect your stuff according to the amps. The one I looked up had 2- 30A, 2- 20A, 2- 10A and 2- 5A terminals/buttons. So you will still need to know what amps each accessory pulls. So example if your 2 cube lights pull 8 amps (4amps each) hook them to 1 of the 10amp terminal/buttons. The hardest part to figure out is where you want to mount the Auxbeam 8 on your P500.

Yeah, not sure I'll be able to find amp info for these pre-existing lights, but I should be able to research and get close.

Even if the switch panel ends up looking wonky (I'm not good at making stuff look good) it'll still be worth it for the simplicity.

Aux 8 has arrived. Some work to be done beforehand. More electric to disconnect (mirrors, horn, tail light run, etc), then winch wiring install with rocker and remote plug, then power steering install, then time for the Aux 8, I guess.

Planning on lighted mirrors, horn, rear cubes, rock lights, whips. We'll see . . .

The packages have started to pile up. Mudbusters, winch, Aux 8, skids, PS, air filter, frame caps, front bumper . . .
