[QUOTE="jacobd08, post: 476982, member: 26971"] Thanks for your reply. I did use the old wires for the spotlights, which resembled lamp cord. When I touched the positive and negative leads directly to the battery the lights came on with no sound so I went ahead and hooked them up to the rocker panel and bus bar. I did notice the wires used to connect the spot lights to the rocker panel are larger than those on the lights and rocker panel, but not by much, maybe 16 gauge on the rocker panel and lights and 12 on the wires connecting them. Also, the rocker panel uses 3 15A fuses which seems to be appropriate after looking at the chart you provided. [/QUOTE]
