As of now, I have 3 sets of 55 watt lights wired to 2 illuminated switches that run straight to the battery with each switch having one wire that goes to the battery with an inline fuse. I am planning on doing a major overhall of the way I have my lights wired. Here is my new plan:
1 (16ga?)wire from the battery through a 20amp circuit breaker to 4 illuminated switches (front driving, roof rack driving, backup lights, fogs) I plan to switch my front 55 watt driving lights with 100 watt lights for offroad trips and then replace them with the 55 watt lights upon return.
My Questions:
1. Will this setup hold all of the wattage of my lights?
2. Will 1 power wire to 4 switches work?
3. should I get a 30 amp circuit breaker instead?
4. Would the 100 watt lights overload my system with the 55 watt fogs and driving lights on at the same time?
5. How do I wire the lights so they only run when the ignition is on?
Thank you and let me know of any questions.
