wiring both pairs of rigid d2s

[cubiefan101]

I recently made the purchase for the rigid d2s fog lights. I am planning on getting them running tomorrow. My question is whether I can wire both pairs of lights to aux 3? Has anyone had any problems doing so?

Rigid says the D2s are 2.5 amps each so you should be fine.

The Rigid fog light kit is 4 lights total, if so I would not use switch #3 it only has a 15 Amp fuse. Use switch #1 or #2 they both have a 30 Amp fuse.

based on what both of you say,

mobilebeats- rigid d2 are 2.5amps each

justvettn- fog kit is a total of 4 lights

a 15 amp fuse should work fine. unless i am missing something and numbers are wrong?

 

[justvettn]

Rigid's instructions are to use a 15 Amp fuse for 2 D2's so if thats what he has #3 is fine.
If he has 4 lights? Do the math.

I didn't read the instructions for the wiring. I calculated each light with the amperage prior to installing any so I know which switch I wanted for what light. My four d2s are on 3 with no issues. I'm not saying it's right according to rigid but I haven't had any issues.

Ok. If anything blows up I know who to blame

maybe one of you guys can provide some technical info so we can crunch numbers

Nothing will blow up, if you use 15 amp fuse for the 4 lights they may be slightly dim or flicker. I think the new D2's are 34 watts each.

so at 34 watts, divided by 14.4 volts equals 2.36111111111111111111(wheres the damn infinite sign?) volts. 2.36111111111111111111111111 x 4 = 9.444444444444444444444 volts so it appears the 15 amp fuse will work
