I was just reading though some of the older posts about wiring, amps, fuses, etc... However, I still wanted to ask for advice on this. I've been running a 40" Totron for 8 mos with no issues. It's tapped into the "plug & play" inside the dash. However yesterday, I added a 20" (single row) Totron on the front bumper. It is also tied into the "plug & play" but on a separate switch.
So, last night while riding, we blew the 15 amp accessory fuse that powers those lights. The 40" and 20" are probably 300watts combined, (300watt/12amp=25amp). I noticed the stock headlights are on a 30amp fuse. So, my question is.... Could I just put a 30amp fuse in the accessory slot instead of the original 15amp for my LEDs? Or, maybe rewire the 20" through the cigarette adapter circuit?
Eventually, as I add more electrical gadgets, I'll probably install one of those blue seas fuse blocks.
Thoughts/ suggestions?
