What hot source have people tapped into for their relays?

Battery.

Relays for what?

For my lightbar. The highest rated fuse on the aux switches are 15 amps, so anything above that requires a relay. Pretty annoying that Ford only went up to 15 amps.

Battery positive terminal.

Battery.

Cool, thanks. That's what I've always one, but wasn't sure if anyone had done anything "cleaner."

Unless you put in an aftermarket distribution block, that's about as clean as you get. Make sure you include a fuse close to the battery.

smallest (5 amp) upfitter out to the relay trigger. Relay In from battery (fused) and Relay Out to light bar. Should be cake. Straight to battery is the one correct answer.
