Roof lights on

[POPEYE]

Nice job Ian!

What relays you looking for? I have a load. If you tell me what you need I'll have a look.

Right cheers, i need 2x30 amp and a 50 amp (MattF reccomended the 50 for the horns as they were a bit big and of unknown current draw) been getting this stuff from Vehicle Wireing Products and useing their plug in carriers for relays and fuses, let me know how much to send should you have suitable ones, Thanks Ian

I meant the kitchen sink......

Oh well, the moment's passed now.

Christ. I'm in shock. Someone's actually listened to something I've said.

If Apache ain't got a big one, I'll pop one off for you. Relay wise, though, I think he has a lifetime supply now.

Will go and have a look, but if you chuck a fiver in the MAC fund, that'll be fine.

Why do you need 2 x 30? What wattage are your roof lights?

be happ to do that

I've wired one pair of lights to one 30amp, bulbs are 50 watt (?) each light but wanted the relay higher in case i changed em for 100's, this was the idea on the front light's but doubt il be able to do the same to the roof ones so what'd ya think? will one relay do all four? and dont forget i may get another pair for the roof, so that would be 3 x 50watt per 30amp relay

[joker??]

looking good ian , but i would say that wouldnt i][ ???hehe

Very nice Ian. All you need now to finish it off is a rear spoiler fitted!

Pre-emptive. Know it's not your strong point, but it's probably to allow for later additions, unlike some people do.

[MattF]

EEEEWWWWW!!

I aim to please.

[POPEYE]

Yeah i know!!! i was scrolling as the soddin link come up and i got a pic of a tap,

Dont listen to Matt (I know he's lurking now...) he's a bit of a drama queen where it comes to electronics!

You are currently (no pun intended) looking at around 18A TOTAL for your lights if you are running 4 x 55w. I'm not sure I'd go for 130w in the roof lights unless you want to be dazzled by your own bonnet! The 55w I have are bad enough - must move the bar back a bit!

I have a 70A which might suit your horns but probably well over specced, but as you dont know what the current draw is, probably better to errr on the side of caution.

Personally, unless you want to switch the pairs of lights independently, I'd run them all through your single 30A, or if you want to run them as pairs, run the other pair via the 40A I'll send. This combo will also be fine for 130W lamps.

Alternatively, I can give you 2 x 70A if Matt has made you really paranoid - but be aware, it can be as bad to overspec by a long way as contacts will tarnish and become unreliable.

PM me your address and I'll get em in the post.

EEEEWWWWW!!

You still got it Noodleboy!

Always.

That's why I suggested the 50A's. They shouldn't be over rated to the degree of becoming oxidised, hopefully.
