SPOD Assignments

System Overview - Planned Future Circuits

Power Distribution Architecture (Planned)

  • Engine Bay SPOD 1: Lighting & Ambience (100A input breaker)
  • Engine Bay SPOD 2: Driving, Recovery & Utility (100-150A input breaker)
  • Interior SPOD: Power, Communications & Gear (100A MEGA fuse)
  • Interior Fuse Block: Switched/Always-On Power (60A MAXI fuse)
  • Interior MSD Relay: Seat heaters and light bar control

Engine Bay SPOD 1 - Lighting & Ambience

7 Halos 5A Ignition-on (DRL style) Planned
8 Projector Backlighting 5A Ignition-on or tied to low beams Planned

Total Amperage (max if all on): ~95A Mount Location: Engine bay


Engine Bay SPOD 2 - Driving, Recovery & Utility

Input Breaker: 100-150A recommended

Circuit # Circuit Name Breaker Size Trigger Suggestion Status
1 Round Bumper Lights - Adapt 30A Manual SPOD switch Planned
2 Round Bumper Lights - All On 30A High-beam trigger or manual Planned
3 Amber Fog Lights 15A Low-beam trigger or manual fog switch Planned
