came back with this:
"no, they work perfectly, they brighten up the road, and all bulbs work, even comes with the rocker light switches and wiring."
IMO if you leave them on they will melt the wires.

ok, these are #14. So I am kinda leary of tossing another set on. I might just run another circuit, so I will need another switch and all that jazz. what a pita...I would like to up the guage wires, and remain with one switch, but I hate hacking up factory items. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Or you could use the ol' excuse that everything has a safety margin of 20% built into it.
Based on that, you could have 4.8 lamps on the same wiring harness...
And ya'll said that garadiating in civil engineering would never pay off...
Fooled all yer damn asses...LOL.
Seriously, I would think adding 2 extra lamps on the same circuit would be too much for the stock system. Though you may never have a problem, just not sure it's something you may wanna do.
My .02 worth and worth every penny.

No need for pics. I was just curious.
The most important wires to know the size of are ones that make the long run from the interior to the roof.

Nice chart find, ree! That beats the heck out of the MSWord thing I have.
The formula is, I believe, P = I x E.

VTSTOMPER, do you know the part number is for the OEM roof-lights set? Thank you.

Hmmm, on second thought, I'm not sure that chart answers the question at hand. Again, I'm not sure but is RMS watts a good measure in this instance? Do RMS watts = lamp watts?
Or maybe that's a goofy question. I'll have another cup of coffee and have another look ...

It is a stock factory GM wire harness for the offroad lamps. I am not sure the size of the wire...I will have to check it out.
What one is the most important? The power?
The wire comes from a connector *factory* under the dash, to the left and above the break pedal. I imagine it is getting all the power from some ACC pin in there.
The lamp switch is up by the map lights...factory mounting location.
I will get some pics for you if you would like...well - when the sun comes out again.

I bet your right Phil. If I remember right, the wiring is like a typical to a standard headlamp wiring that you would find under the hood, feeding one lamp each.
I might add a second switch and all like you said.

Better idea ...
PM your email address to me and I'll send the chart. I'd post it here but it's in MS Word. Your call.

hey check it out! It looks like they have two wires going up to it, this would mean two switches, and what not...pretty cool. I emailed him to see how he did it.
