I ran wires from the headlights back to the fused, 2-pull light switch shown in the picture. A prior owner wired in a work light. I believe the fuse holder in the picture is for that work light; it comes on with switch pulled out all the way.
But my question is: Since the switch is fused, do I need another fuse for the headlights? And if so, exactly how do I wire in an inline fuse. Is it as simple as tying the two 14 gauge headlight wires (L & R in the photo) together along with one end of the inline fuse, and the other end of the inline fuse to the terminal? This is a typical 12V, neg.-ground system.
My other question is what size fuse should I put in the holder? These are two 50-watt halogen bulbs. Thinking 10 Amp.
I know this is simple but I just want to make sure. I don't want to burn anything up. Thanks in advance for the help.
