have recently decided to upgrade my current set-up, and with that i want to do a final perfect wiring job....i want to add a fuse for every remote turn on line that i will need (3 total) and for some led lights.....i have done some research and know i need a relay, and will add a fuse box....so ive drawn up a schematic for the set-up, but i want to know if this diagram would be right for adding a aux fuse box with a relay...adding led switches and led external lights

thanks

Considering all of them are likely to consume less then 1amp, I wouldn't bother with either fuse box or relay.

ya i know the extra fuse box is overkill....and i prob am gonna get rid of it...but is the wiring of the leds correct both in the switches and the other ones? i really dont wanna fry any of the switches or leds

If you are using 12 volt LEDs all will be fine. If the LEDs are not 12volt devices, you will need a resistor on each LED.

If they are 2.5 volts, you'll need about 800ohms resistors.
