Finally got time to get the rack/lights install done. The job is close to being done but a few more questions, please . . .

Status: Lights are mounted on the rack. Wiring harness is made and installed on the rack, terminating in a short pigtail to a quick disconnect. Firewall grommet wire (and a few extras for future use) are in. Littlefuse Mini Add-a-Circuit installed in the SEO Accy fuse slot. Interior wiring is almost ready to go in.

Questions:

1. Rather than having 2 dash switches for the 4 front lights and 1 switch for the rear, I decided to wire the 4 fronts lights to one switch and the rear to another. The amp draw for the 4 55W lights should be a bit more than 18. The PIAA harness (originally designed for a two-light setup and now modified) comes with a 20A fuse. What size fuse should be used? For future use, is there a standard recommended spread between amp draw and fuse rating?

2. The PIAA documents, web site and relays (PIAA part PL5FB) do not specify the relay capacity. Anyone know if 4 lights on one PIAA relay is okay?

Thanks as always for advice and answers. It's been a lot of years since I've done this sort of thing and I'm having a blast!
