gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,503 #2 Posted December 2, 2016 The 102881 sealed beam is a number 4411 rated at 35 watts so 35 divided by 12 volts = 2.92 amps each. Garry 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB ELLISON 2,976 #3 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) If in doubt add a relay. With a relay you don't have to worry about the key switch or light switch overloading and burning up. I remember on my 1964 chevy impala I added fog lights and connected them to a toggle switch. They worked fine but after a hour or so I started to smell wires burning and smoke from that switch for the fog lights I installed. I didn't know about relays . That was 45 years ago. Now I add a relay to every light I install. Edited December 2, 2016 by BOB ELLISON comments 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
