Ok so some of my lights are wired up but I want to change some things...

I have power to my relays and relays to switch and lights...

I am using a standard automotive GM relay.. pn 25553347
relay is rated for max of 30A
kc light is rated at 12A each

I am looking at metri-pack 280 connectors.... not cheap but i found a cheap place. However the metri-pack 280 is rated for 30A and the metri-pack 150 is rated for 14A ... since my lights are 12A each.. it wont hurt getting the metri 150's right?













p.s im gonna share the link soon... still doing my research.. and get my order in first... :wink1:
 
150's will work just fine.
These are conservative ratings Delphi uses, unlike the aftermarket. They supply to OEM's, who size things appropriatly. 14a rating means 14amps continous without problem. So go for it!
 
Hey, nice H-Car relay/Fuse center BTW.
Same setup I'm using!
I bought all the pull-to-seat 480 terminals for the relays so I don't have to splice the wires.
I also bought the 800 series terminals for the maxi-fuse block.

it also used factory mounting bolts on my truck.. that is why it is tilted....

I am going to clean this up....
