Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a standard switch and a performance switch?

Performance switches are typically built with higher quality, more durable materials, and are rated for higher amperage loads (often 20A+). They are designed to withstand vibration, moisture, and extreme temperatures common in racing, off-road, and marine environments, ensuring reliable operation when standard switches would fail.

Do I need a relay for my new accessory lights?

Yes, almost all high-power auxiliary lights (LED light bars, driving lights, etc.) draw significant current. Using a relay protects the low-current dashboard switch from the high current load, preventing overheating and failure. The switch activates the relay, and the relay handles the heavy power flow directly from the battery.

Where should I mount a battery disconnect switch?

For racing compliance, the master disconnect switch must be accessible from outside the vehicle, often mounted on the rear bumper or cowl. For general use, mounting it near the battery (e.g., on a top post terminal) or in an easily accessible cabin location is common for anti-theft and maintenance purposes.
