LED lights on my C121

Recommended Posts

JC 1965

I would like to install two LED flood lights on my C121 in case i have to clean my driveway after dark. The lights are 18 watt with 1350 lumens of output. If i decide to purchase these lights, do i have to wire them any special way ( use a relay ? etc. ) or can i just power them straight from the accessory terminal on the ignition switch. The lights only draw about 1.8 amps each. Also what size fuse should i use ? Any help appreciated. :thumbs2:

At 3.6 total amps, you can go directly to your accessory terminal. I would fuse it at 10 amps and use 16 gauge wire.

Here is a double edge sword........LED lights do not produce very much (if any) heat.....good for the electrical system, BUT.....LED lights won't melt off any snow that accumulates on them..
