Hello all...

I've just added two more spotlights onto my SPi cooper... they lasted all of 5 minutes before the fuse blew. So, I was wondering... can i just put a bigger fuse in or do i need to wire the second pair up to a separate switch?

Thanks! Ryan :kiss:

Erm... don't know! lol

I think I'd be better off wiring the second pair to another switch then?

Hmm :kiss:

Just put a 25 amp fuse (according to Haynes) in the fuse box and it hasn't blown... makes me think that the wrong fuse might have been in in the first place :kiss:

Looks like I'll have to wait and see....
