installed my pilots today; got 'em with the fancy bracket from Craig at CAMP 914. so i am now a happy camper!
needed to call my tech support ("dino, are you sure the electrons are in there? i don't see any... you're saying if i hook these wires together the electrons will get into the lights?" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) ), and all is well. eventually the wiring will be changed so that i can run drivers only, just like the kewl kids! let's see, SS brackets from Craig (along with other stuff last year), pedal board from Engman, wheel from Brad Meyeur, brake kits from Perry Kiehl, carbs from Andyrew (all teenagers should have a V8 914), calipers from Dan Root, too much stuff to mention from Kevin Powers and Dino Davis. heck, i have even gotten help from the good guys at Triad NW! for those of you who have not done business with any of the above mentioned men, you should co it if you need stuff. Thanks, dudes! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) btw, Aaron; i didn't put a relay on mine, and they seem to work fine. nothing odd happened when i kicked 'em on. if i find out anything more or notice anything strange, i'll pass it on. |

10 gauge for 100 watts over kill ... lets look at it 100 watts/12 volts = 8.3 amps not bad if they are 50 watts each but they are a lot of 100 bulbs out there, so we will say its 200 total, or 16.6 amps. which if we go by house wiring standards a 12 gauge gets breakered at 20 amps but is not allowed to carry more than 16 ( 80 % rule) now in a house you are working with 120 volts and a 3 % voltage drop is allowed. now in a car there is no code but we want to be safe and thats why we are running the extra wire any, right. now in a car a drop of 1 volt due to resistance is a 12% loss, once again we are upgrading lets not shoot our selves in the foot and upgrade half way, esp if the cost is 1 dollar more |
