Blue Lights

[Mexican]

I am going to purchase some blue lights for my dakota, I have to make it look cool cuz its about the weakest dakota out there. I think these things are going to be 85 watts, does anyone know if they are going to melt my harness, or where i should look and what should i do? Thx.

You should look into purchasing the 55watt ones that burn like an 85 watt bulb. I have them on my car. You won't have to worry about them burning out. Also make sure you have at least a 10amp fuse.

So who makes these 55watt bulbs that burn that well, and how much do they ususally cost? can you give me a website or a name? thx.

Dude, no problem, just installed blue lights on my dakota, the lights should come with all the protection you need, not to mention fuses and relays. The fuses are fast blow so if you do get an overload that will be the first thing to go, not your cables. these lights will be grounded to your chassis in many areas. Also many people dont know this but the toggle switch or rocker switch (which ever you prefer) is nothing more than a fuse itself. If you are really really concerned (which in my estimation there is no need to be) you can up grade the wire to 10awg or 8awg this will ensure no possible melting problems, however, the down side to that is that the thicker the wire the less fexibility your gonna have with that wire as to bending around corners and snaking through the fire wall. I suggest going with what you have and as long as you hook the lights up the correct way (or have them installed professionally, that way if anything does go wrong the professional is liable and has to pay for the damage-that is if your not comfortable installing them yourself, but I am telling you its a piece of cake) you should have no problems and your truck will be blazing in no time. see ya [email protected]
