Dual headlight conversion

[adambweird]

Question for the electrical gurus out there, im going to be running a dual headlight 50/50w 12v headlight setup and was wondering which way would be better to wire it, series or parallel? And what should i run for a fuse, stock or larger? Thanks for the input!

Well I'm certianly NOT an electrical guru but:
Wire them in parallel. If done in series it will use more amperage and if one bulb fails the whole curcuit is then open.

Good Luck,
Lew

Absolutely parallel. Voltage drop through the first bulb may dim the second bulb if you wire in series. As Lew said, if one goes out, you lose both.

Decided to just get the dual headlight relay kit from eastern beaver to simplify things. Thanks for all the input guys!

You'll be glad you did.
