    I picked up three converted hells HIDs. I am, simply put, electronically retarded. What fuse do I need? I have a relay and fuse block but have no clue what fuse to use.

    .
    Total wattage (55) divided by voltage (12 volt system), equals Amps
    110 (2 55 watt bulbs) divided by 12= 9.16 Amps
    Your answer? a 10 amp fuse will do, but I would probably use a 15 amp
