OP Robert2k Member Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 86 Carson, California	I just installed A Rivco lightbar that I bought from Brent, and the instructions tell you to connect the lights to the 'illumination lights' circuit. The lights are 34W each, and that calculates to 5.7 Amps at 12 Volts. The circuit has a 5A fuse, and the driving lights are blowing it after a few minutes. I replaced the 5A fuse with a 10A fuse and the lights seem to work properly. Am I hurting the bike by replacing the fuse? I'm worried about overheating the circuit with the higher current draw. Any info is greatly appreciated. TIA Bob "The Most Things You Regret In Life Are The Risks You Didn't Take."
