Wiring Lights

What is the easiest/best way to wire three 55 watt lights on one switch? They would be for off road driving only. I dont have a wiring harness yet. What size in-line fuse will I need?

55+55+55= 165 watts

165 / 12 volts = 13.75 amps

hope this helps you out

I agree with this calculation, but I was taught to add 10% for alternator/battery error IMO.

So I would go with a 20 and not a 15.
