electrical question

[hairman]

I want to mount some fog lights on my rsv. I read a previous post about the platnum burners. When mounting them do I need to use a relay or an in line fuse? I haven't never messed with a relay so what size do I need if I need one? Can I hook my driving lights up on the same relay or not? If someone has better advice on fog lights please let me know. Thanks hairman

Yes, 12 volt standard relay, at most auto parts stores if it does not come with light kit.

 

Run, 12V from battery, ( thru an " in line " fuse ) to the relay, relay to the lights, Use #16 wire for power to the lights, ( #18 is a bit small )

 

Now use a Switch, to send power to the Relay control windings, and get the power from a Circuit that is " OFF " when Key is " OFF "

 

Do NOT power your new running lights from any Existing Circuit !!!!

 

Solder ALL the new connections after you Crimp on connectors.
