Hello all, I am getting rid of my (2) off-road (130w) lights on my grille guard but I want to replace them with (3) driving (55w) lights. My wiring / relay set up now is for only (2) lights. Can I safely hook up (3) lights to that setup? If so, how?

 

If your relay ran 2 x 130W (260 total) then it should be able to handle 3 x 55W (165) just fine. If you had 1 power wire splitting into 2 for the old lights then just split it into 3. If your old lights had 2 wires from the relay split them both and connect 1 from each to the centre light. That'll put equal current into each wire.

It would be easier if I could draw diagrams, but that's beyond my computer abilities.

 

Thanks for the input Eric. I will give it a try when I get the new lights.

 

just splice all the wires into one should work fine i have 100watt bulbs in my hella 500s and 14ga wire

 

Ahhh, but the real trick for three lights would be to be able to turn all three on or just two...with one switch!!

 

I just want to point out that you still will not be able to use all 3 on the road (at least in most states but i think it is all) Virtually all states limit you to 2 auxilary driving lights.

Like me what i did was wire 2 hellas to one switch and the other one and 2 fogs to another switch. This way i cn use them on the road and orr-road.

 

 

Bump for what?

 

X2 - I thought this was answered. LOL
