Just one comment:
Noted the 10A fuse for your new socket and the fact that it is switched via the ignition switch.

10 amps is WAY too much aux. load for a GZ. The alternator/battery is doing good to keep up with 3-5 amps of additional load. A 10 amp additional load might be too much for the ignition switch too.

Looks fine......as long as you keep the load down.
