    The harness is junk. I ran all three of mine with 12 Gage to a single 30amp circuit.

    Not familiar with the Hella harness but this is what I'd do. I'm sure you'd be fine splicing into the provided wiring though for one extra light. If you start blowing the in-line fuse then upgrade the wire size and use a larger amp fuse.
