The real problem is that fusible links are not rated in amps. 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.
