Need Light Placement Input

FYI, HID's can spike over 25 - 30 amps during ignition... probably more, because my DMM is slow

I was going by the maximum current draw (I in Max) listed on the label.

That's nominal values

I've tested it with a DMM... Unless they're the slow ignition type, they'll have a current spike when they fire up... That's why factory, non-HID wiring harnesses have issues after awhile, or sometimes right off the bat.

Those lying bastards!

A circuit breaker would be a better option than a fuse for this then.

Well, my fuse holders can handle 30 or 35 amps. I'll have to check, but I'm only going to go up to a 30 amp fuse during testing.


I'm gonna start a new thread now on the installation of everything (since this thread had to do with placement of the LED lights).
It should pop up on the 12v Electronics section pretty quick.

Behind the grill, as low and close to the signal lights as possible...
