[mark27]

Im sorry I know this is probably a stupid question but I bought a t-rex torch series front grill with two lights built in the grill .. part number ..6315661 my question is how do I hook up both lights to one switch...can I run one correct size wire from the aux switch wire on the passenger side over the wheel to both of the red wires from the lights and then hook up the ground wire ? PS..I just bought a new 2013 raptor crew cab so this is my first time using a forum so please bare with me im learning how and I haft to learn how to check for a response..lol any help would be great thnx mark

what is the amperage on the lights?

 

[mark27]

I just talked to the place that sold the grill to me ...they said they are 6 inch bar lights 36 watts each...one light on each side 2 lights total

72 watts / 14.4 volts = 5 amps

Which means at 5 amps you could use switch 4 and the smallest pass through wire and save the rest for something bigger.

just dont use a 5amp fuse. if it is running at a continuous 5 amps, you will need headroom for heat and turn on surge

 

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

The stock fuse is 10 amps.

Each light bar has 24 1.5 watt LEDs, right? Switch #4 rated @ 10 Amps will be OK. I'd like to see a full grill replacement use a pair of 40" light bars!
