ok dude think of a relay as a automatic switch the reason one should be used is because four lights or even two lights use a fairly large electrical load you dont wont to switch this load via a dash switch be cause after time it could heat\ melt your dash switch you use the dash switch to energize the relay what this does is close the connection in the relay from the battery to the lights this put nearly no load on your dash switch because all the dash switch does is to activate the relay you alway need a fuse no matter what .some poeple dont run relays this is not advised but if you were not to use a relay you must use a dash switch with a high rating to handle the full load of the lights these switchs are not cheap the other reason to use a relay is if you want your lights to work with your main beam lights you can take a feed from your main beam circuit to activate the relay have i cleared this matter up ie. always no matter what use a fuse using a relay is advisable but if you use the correct rating switch you can get away with not using one (but i strongly recommend you do) you dont need any specail fuse boxs or that you can actully buy relays with inbuilt fuses and mount your relay to the inside fender

the OP was wanting info on where to get fuse boxes and relay holders, not the whole wiring schematic... the reason I posted if he still was needing help was becasue if he is, I have a couple of 10 circuit fuse boxes and 10 relay holders sitting in my garage that I was going to sell to him for cheap.

Sounds like he needed a little visual aid as well.
