Fitting Spot lights & Fog lights

[Madsplash]

How many amps fuse should be used?

I've bought a fog light wiring loom with a 30Amp fuse included in order to install my Micro DE's.
I've been suggested a 15 Amp fuse for 2x55w lights for a car installation, what about my beloved 1200 GS?

Any ideas? Greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Right here goes;

Ohms law W/V=A
so
55W/13.2V=4.2A

So a 15A car blade fuse will be fine, as they are rated at 15A continous, 30A blow.

I got my Hella Micro DE lights fitted today at the Adventure Bike Warehouse.
A great job by Jono, thanks mate.
A good bunch of guys, very friendly and a job well done.

Definitely a place to return!
Adrian, thanks for the coffee, food and chat.

have a VERY good look at the H+B upper bar mountings, the RH mounting is mm away from the oil line and can easily rub thru leaving a minor problem.

never mind they are a total PITA to install and remove and dont offer any protection and can not be centralised for even gaps between the side panels
