Can someone tell me how the original wiring worked for the headlights? The wiring has been abused on my car. I have a constantly energized wire going to the switch and then out to the headlights. The supply has a 20 amp in line fuse. I don't see a relay anywhere. The 20 amp fuse seems too small but it does not blow. I think amps is watts/volts? Would that be 120 watts or so divided by 12 for a load of 10 amps plus a little more for the running lights?
