My head hurts !!

If you want a independent circuit !!

It is not tied into anything else. Not any other source of power .

It draws power direct from the battery with the circuit protection as needed !!

It may also be wired through a auxiliary .Fuse block on a independent circuit

Perhaps your using the wrong terms

I like this idea but have never seen it in action in the real world .

Do you see lots of these Rear fog lights in New Mexico??

It might just be a Western thing

Here in Pa the blue lights are for the Fire Police and fire men on the way to a fire.

If one has Blue lights you better have ID stating your in the Fire Department If the officer is in a bad mood it can get expense.

Well everything is all wired up right guys, thanks for the help even though I didn't quite realize what you were telling me at first.

Just a FYI, last night I wired up my constant power fuse block that I was telling you about earlier.

From left to right:

1 - Power (+) Distribution block - 6ga wire lead from the battery then power is disbursed to 3 fusible links (Factory circuits) and to a 12ga wire to the constant power fuse block (Accessory add-on circuits).
2 - Ground (-) Bus Bar - 6ga wire from the battery then ground wires can be grounded in one central location (not a good idea to ground accessories here that would be sensitive to interference and ground noise)
3 - Constant power fuse block - feeds accessories like an auxiliary 12v cig outlet, fog light switch, low draw lighting, etc.

I actually have two of these fuse blocks. When I originally went through my wiring harness during my restoration I added an fuse block with ignition source power, but I neglected to wire in a fuse block for a constant power source. It was much more difficult to run the wiring as an after thought, but I got it done so now wiring any future accessories will be a breeze. No inline fuses, not splicing wires, no toning out power sources, no birds nest of wires everywhere. I too will soon be adding fog lights so this is where I will get my 12v constant power from to the relay for the lights.

That truck is f˟ing sweet dude.

I put the clear lights on the push bar above the bumper, and I will be putting the old iodine fogs on the bottom of the bumper underneath each headlight. I will mount each using angle iron on the inside of the bumper screwed to it. Fogs work much better the closer to the ground they are which is the main reason you see cars that could break their fog lenses by hitting a curb. They say the iodine fogs don't work any better than white and it's solely because they're stupid. Anyway, that's the arrangement I suggest you do.

Send pics when you've got them on.
