How To Wire Raptor AUX upfitter switches

So is this silliness still exist on the 2014's? (I assume yes, but I thought I'd ask). With my big hands, it was a pain to do on the 2012.

Just did 20" light bar and pods this weekend. Going to do rear lighting tomorrow. As I read the first few posts I laughed at the comment that said the only thing missing from the instructions was the bucket on the passenger floor to catch all the blood. After connecting the third wire I looked at my left hand which suddenly looked like a horror movie. My bad for thinking this was a figurative comment, not a literal one...

As an aside, I have no idea how anyone could do this with butt connectors.

Since I'm here, if my rear light draws 10.5A and I plan to put it on aux4, can I just swap the 10A fuse for 15A (so I have 2 30A and 2 15A)?

Thanks for the post Birdman...excellent detail and discussion. I'm now confident I can do the install of Rigids D2's without having to pay a local shop to do it.

P.S. How much blood can I expect to loose while making the under-dash AUX wiring connections?
