Did the same upgrade. Some of the wires were harder to put back because of the fuse board having less terminals and an integrated relay. Made it work by carefully pulling them from the wire loom tape. If you don't care for integrated relay (but please add an external one otherwise) and the integrated LEDs..maybe the refuze panel is easier to install. For the rear, I opted not to drill the fuse holder (mostly because I couldn't easily get the holder out). So I ended up getting the CDD Refuze one for the rear. Uses factory hole. No lights and uses slotted screws..yuck but does the job!
Very nice, thanks for posting this mate! I'm having problems with factory fuse box (fog lights and windows just stopped working) this looks exactly like what I need to do
What is the function of the relays mounted on the upgrade fuse circuit board? The old fuse panel doesn't have those relays. Do those relays replace hi/lo relays that are elsewhere in the car? Why did you decide not to use them?
The 2 relays on the new board are headlight relays for running higher wattage bulbs. They replace the 2 old relays I had hanging under the old fuse panel. The old fuse panel did not have headlight relays; they are an aftermarket kit.
