    When do you want the lights to come on?
    Always, with the parking lights, or with the headlight?

    There’s more than one way to wire them.

    Short answer is, we need more information.

    Long answer below.

    Without knowing what type LEDs you have, and what Wattage they pull, it’s a hard question to answer.

    Watts/Volts=Amperage
    Use a fuse slightly larger than the current draw (amperage) of the lights.
    But no larger than the wire size is capable or handling.
    Somewhere in between expected continuous amperage and wire size ratings is usually good.
    For example, if the lights pull 10A and wire is rated at 20A, than 15A fuse should work.



    I would guess that the lights are mostly certainly 12v.

    I think OP is looking for the right answer to the wrong question;)
    I tried, definitely over complicated it in my answer above. But I tried :rofl:

    Hmmmm......didn't know a 12 V fuse existed.

    I've only been able to find fuses based on Current (Amp) ratings. Was I looking for the wrong fuse??? o_Oo_O


    Friday has arrived.

    Merry Christmas to you and your families. Be safe this season.
