4 x LF140's off landrover driving lamp wiring ????
Im planning on fitting 4 x Lightforce 140s under the A-Bar inplace of the the LR driving lamp candels tht are currently fitted.
I confirmed they will physically fit, but I', wondering if I can just use the exisitng R lamp wiring. The LFs have 55w bulbs at the moment but I may upgrade them to the PIAA 55w -> 110w bulbs.
There would be twice the wattage going throught he cables. Can I leave the LR wiring in place or do I need to rewire, relay etc
Bobbycrispbox has 130w bulbs in his 2 x LR lamps and everything seems ok (so far..)
Thanks
DuncanDuncan

I never turn mine on when I'm going less than 60mph though
Here's the Post #212358 where TazDaz, 10forcash and I discussed this in the past.

Im still not sure though. Are all the wiring kits the same. Would it be wise for me to put a fuse close to the lights just in case, or should the fuse be closer to the relay. from which direction would the cable melt from (the relay side I presume?)Duncan
