What are the biggest I can put inside? I can get Off-Road rated 100W's which do work, but I don't want to fry the loom. Can I buy an uorated loom to enable me to use these nice 100W bulbs, or do I have to drop back down to the 55W that were fitted. Legal wise - they only get used when off-road, so the bigger the better. ;-) Thanks guys and gals.

I would suggest if possible, to run a larger guage wire for the positive and ground, as the factory harness can get a bit hot.

Thanks Horness   Ron L (Ronl) Member Username: Ronl Post Number: 133 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 11:39 am:    Sorry about that Relay to battery and relay to lights. Switches can remain "factory". This is just a suggestion in the event you have the lights on for long periods of time.   Horness Spencer (Horness) Member Username: Horness Post Number: 103 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 04:26 am:    Thanks Ron. Any recommendations on guage? I'm no electrician, but I can solder, and I can ask a friend who is a spark to supply me with the relavent wires. (and maybe do the work for a drink or two).
