Wiring accessory lighting

Anybody know the Amp rating of the fog light switch on a cherokee ? Have a classic ( NIB ) set of KC rectangular 55W fog lights and wanted to use the original switch.

Thanks Mark

Just hook it up like you would with it's own relay. That way there will be no problem and your fogs will get a better supply than the stock wiring. I never much liked running high amp draws into the cabin.

Just make sure you use a relay and the amp draw on the switch will only be the draw that the relay does to operate. Don't hook them direclty to the switch or you will be buying a new switch pretty quick..

I second that emotion! I learned that the hard way in my big car years before I got my Jeep. The amber fog lamps cooked that switch quickly.
