Thanks for all the input, it pointed out a few flaws in my thinking 	(but hey, I'm on pain killers after my knee replacement surgery a few days ago)

I haven’t used an amp gauge since one failed and stranded me on the side of a mountain in my CJ. All the car's power runs through a small gauge wire. Finding the problem, which was inside the gauge, took a bit of work. Bypassed the amp gauge and got it running just before dark.

It might make a good test setup

For now, I'm going to continue my LED conversion. I have already planned relays to reduce the power at the ignition switch for the lights. I think I will fuse every circuit and slip the idea on a single protection point

 Once again, this old list has come through. Thanks again.
I miss Frank
