Instead they are rated by wire gauge, and should be one size smaller than the circuit they protect. Just in case I wasn't clear before, Tony, what I did was to use a separate fuse for each side, so that the runs from the control box to the headlight area would be protected, but a single fuse blowing would always leave one side lit. On the back of the headlight bucket is more accessible than you might think; to access them I only have to pop off the trim ring and remove 3 screws. The bucket comes out with the bulb still clamped into the bucket. And since I don't expect to have to access them very often, having to remove three screws to do so doesn't bother me at all. -- Randall |
