Default adding a relay to the relay box?

Has anyone done this? I curious about adding one to control something, and maybe more if it works. but are there power and ground wires already ran forevery spot, or do those need to be ran? Sorry I can't just go look at my car right now, it's in the shop and I'm trying to get this idea figured out before I buy some stuff.

Well I have a green LED strip that I'm going to put in the SS scoop just for a little fun, been thinking about it for some time and finally found the right size. And also I want to mount a hood light, I can't tell you how many times I've needed some light under there at night.

So the power and ground are already ran? Are there connections for the remote to the relay and the power out? Or just a spot for them. I wish I could just look at my car real quick and not bother you guys.

well you will have to put wiring going into the relay, there should be a kit at most auto parts stores to do this.Whats the purpose of the SS hood if you are putting a light in the passage way of the air going into the scoop ?

I'm just adding a small LED strip inside, it won't cause any interference to air flow and won't heat the air up either.

The power and ground wires are not there for the empty slots?

i dont believe so, you can split the other ones running to the other fuses if you'd like to, but you really will need to have some electrical experience when doing this
