HMM, not using fuses, not something I'd do on add on wiring.

The factory harness is wrapped in a wear resistant covering (not getting into '80-87 harnesses) most are protected by a fusable link somewhere inline, and are designed by folks who do this for a living and take care not to route them where they can rub and secure them so they don't move.

Add on wiring if done right and properly covered/secured etc is probably OK but why take the chance? The voltage drop across a fuse is negligible and the safety factor is great. The difference between 14.3v and 14.25v won't make a bit of difference in light output and we all carry an extra 25A fuse for the injection circuit anyway don't we?
