minty:

--- Quote from: "hrox" ---give you a hint.    lights measured in watts.   relays measured in amps. so heres the math


3 x 55watt = 165watt
Voltage = 12v
Amps = watts \ voltage. so in this case 160 \ 12 = 12.75 amps

although from your 1st post does that mean you have 6 x 55watt spots in 2 sets of 3? if so then double the ampage so 25.5 amps.   most standard light wireing relays are 30a but its the wireing that will let you down and burn out.   would suggest 2 relays and 2 differnet runs of wire per side this way you can keep to 15amp cable which is cheaper than trying to find 30 amp cable.  you can wire the switch posative cable from the switch to both relays using just one amp cable as its about 1 amp that will be running across the swithch and therefore wont burn out.


hope that helps althougth reading it back dont really make much sence but then im half cut.   :)

 thanks for that it was as i susspected not a 55w line but 165w so unless i can get a bigger relay then i will split the systerm (there is one relay that will work x8 55w and x4 indecators all at the same time :shock: )
