What do you do when you run out of places to plug into at the fuse panel?

i'm thinking of adding some driving/fog lights, but no place to plug in at the fuse panel.....

Well you could pull power from the battery and use head light circuit for fog operation and high beam circuit for the driving and use relays. You don't want fogs with high beams(yellow lense fogs)

You can either use inline fuse holders or what I'd prefer to do is get an auxillary fuse block and run a good strong gauge power wire off the main fuse block. You could probably even separate it out and have partial circuits hot, and partial ignition hot or accessory hot.

Another option is a busbar next to the junction block.

I didn't want to start a new thread on the subject. After doing a search this thread was as close to what I am curious about.

I'm wanting to get a sealed/covered relay box for under the hood to power up some stuff off the battery via relays. Any suggestions on what car or aftermarket provider might be a good choice to acquire one? I was thinking maybe from a jeep so the relays would be easier to get and be more plug and play after everything was wired up.
