But also remember that the resistance of the bulb increases as it
heats up. When cold, it's *much* lower and the switch on current pulse
much greater, which is why you usually see a 15A fuse for a 5A
lighting load.
The fuse (as was pointed out above) is to protect the cable, and will

Just remember the formula
Power = Volts x Amps, so -
55watts = 12Volts x ? amps
? amps = 55/12
amps = 4.58

Sounds like a good idea.
I have been looking through the build manual, and it looks like both dip beams
share a fuse and relay as do both main beams. Each side/marker light is fused
individually so loss of a fuse will still leave you visible, but could cause an
interesting few seconds if you we
hi guys,
yep I will be adding a relay in.. I was just looking for opinions
on the load rating of the wires... as we don't know, the safe option
it will be.
cheers

How about playing it safe & buying one of those pre-wired looms you
can get for driving/fog lamps that have all the wires, relays,
connectors etc?
I'm sure I've seen them in Halfords for about £13

Are the fuses for the switched supplies actually fed by the ignition
switch, or by a relay actuated by the ignition switch, which is how
the Fiestas, and most other cars do it?
Otherwise, it would be an awfully large current for a small rotary
switch, and I'd be tempted to wire a relay in.
