Any opinion on replacing the OEM driving lights. The original OEM are junk (Taiwan), just replaced one and it is already starting to fade and rust in 6 months... I would like to keep as simple as possible on the wiring connections and fit where the old ones do... I looked at the bulb in the OEM and it is 100 watts!! wow that seems like a lot..Do not want to have to change wiring (connector obviously) etc to add different ones... What would be a good light set?
Thanks Tom
If you are installing another 100W lighting system, then you can just cut the old lights off and splice the new ones on and be done.
If you want to use more than 100W lights, then you should add a relay that is picked by the existing lighting system, and feed fatter wries through the relay contacts to actually operate the lights. 100W lamps take 8.3A (each) to run, and 150W lamps take 12.5A (each). This will take your fuse to the lighting circuit from 20A to 30A. Logic says the wires will get hot with this new load. I would be adding a relay and a dedicated wire with its own fuse.
