Just picked up a 2016 P500 yesterday. Started with the Hardtop, Hardcoat Windshield, MTA wheels and Tires. I can already tell this is just the beginning.

Yep, you'll be 12-14K deep before you know it. Nice looking ride, welcome to the forum!

Where did you guys mount the relays. I will pick up main power from the battery and switch power from a accessory sub harness.

I received relays with all of my LEDs. Not saying they wouldn't work without them but can't hurt.
Right. They are a good idea as they relieve the switches. I used the supplied relays on everything I installed except the back up lights because they're on such short intervals.

My thought process is it's always better if there are less items to fail.. obviously heavy amps on a switch isn't great. So anything above 15 amps I've decided to use a relay. Switches are often cheaper than relays and I've got an old Willys jeep that doesn't have a relay one and everything works great! I just prefer to keep things simple. The small 18watt leds are only pulling an amp and a half each.. so 3 amps is totally unnecessary for a relay on a good 20 amp switch.

I'm not sure if it is evident, but I used an aluminum mount (linked on another thread) and it is rock solid.

The volt meter also has dual USB chargers under the rubber cover. I varified with my volt meter. Dead on. I do love duplicity.
