I had written a thread about how to mount driving lights on my 4A.? After some
brief thought, I suddenly had a sinking feeling about where all this light was
going to come from!
The driving lights are rated at 55W/12V, and so are the headlights.? that means
each bulb will draw 4.6A.? That amounts to 18.3A when the driving lights are in
use.? The generator is good for 22A.? That means that I am left with 3.6A for
EVERYTHING else.? The ignition alone is at least 2A, and all the running lights
are certainly at least 3 more amps, and probably double that..
My energy budget goes into the negative zone as soon as I use the driving
lights!!!!? I wouldn't be surprised if I am drawing 5+ amps more than the
generator will supply!? Not a problem if I had an alternator....? Which I
don't.
So, I just ordered the H4 lights from BUSDEPOT as mentioned in a previous
thread.? I think I will get the relay wiring harness from VB.? Moss has a kit
for headlight relays what costs $130!? I wonder what the extra $90 gets me
compared to the VB kit.?
