While installing H4 headlights on my 84 Westy I plan to update the wiring harness I fashioned while installing the auxiliary driving lights and fog lights last year. I would like to install a fuse at the battery that would protect the 8 gauge wire that will connect the battery to a bank of four relays that will trigger the low beams, high beams, auxiliary driving lights, and fog lights. Each individual light circuit will also be protected by a separate 15 amp fuse. Bulb wattage at present are 60 watts, although I may run some 55/100's in the headlights and some higher ones in the driving lights at some point in the future. What would be an appropriate size fuse to use at the battery? Thanks, Tony Anthony L. Mourkas Hampden, Maine, USA 1984 Vanagon Westfalia 1987 Vanagon GL Syncro 1991 Jetta Eco Diesel |
