GingerFlame Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 If you're using an LED in the dome light, a good 10 strips of 0.2 amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffeeman7 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 No led in the dome light..just wanted some in footwells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 So you're just using a regular filament bulb in the dome light? In all honestly, it depends on the cable you Use. If you put a 5 amp fuse in and add the LEDs you'll be good till the fuse blows. Then you know you're at the maximum. It the horn and interior light share a fuse then just go to the next closest fuse up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
