Choosing fuse amperage and wire gauge
I have some fog lights that I want to put on my truck. These are the bulbs and they say they only draw 4.17 amps. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...er=509777_0_0_
I pulled them off another vehicle and they were running through a 15 amp fuse but I don't remember if they came with that fuse holder or if it was one I just had layin around. Wasn't sure if a 5 or 10 would be sufficient or not. I was also wondering what gauge wire to go with from the relay to the lights.

Everything you need to know is included in this thread:

I hope you don't mind, but I really would rather not have to retype all of that over again.
good luck
