Thanks for sharing though! It does look better than I expected!
And a relay takes very little power to trigger, which is the whole point of a relay. Little amps turn big amps on. Your fog lights probably draw more power than that LED, which are on separate circuits... so not sure why you can't use both at the same time.....

The light bar is 120w, and the Fogs are 55w ea (110w in total), so each draw about 10A. I'm more concerned about the amperes created at idle than anything else. It's the engineer in me that wants to protect the system on the whole, regardless of whether or not its at idle or on the same circuit. I always create something that works at the bare minimum, and is "user error" proof, so it functions there and above without causing damage to anything else.
So, yes I could have both on at the same time, just not at idle. However, this thing drowns out my headlights and fogs so it doesn't really matter.

Very nice! Any pics?

Here's a pic of mine. Also Cree led, but the bar made by extreme led solutions at miamioffroad4wd.com
Front 41.5
And the rear one 21.5"
They gave me 20% off, free harness, and one free rocker switch.

It's the fuse that comes with the harness, but its easy to calculate. Power (measure in Watts) is equal to the current times the voltage. Since you know the power and the voltage (12V in most cars), you can determine the current draw, and then put a fuse in that's the closest to that current. So, since the bar draws roughly 10A, a 15A Fuse should be used.
