Jack,
I was doing some simple adding in my head when I came up with the 30A number=
. The unfused standard headlamps are about 4-5 amps each, the parking lamps=
are probably another 2-3 amps. I know from personal experience that you ca=
n safely replace the British 35A fuses with American 15A fuses and they don'=
t blow.
Maybe a better way to go would be to fuse the unfused circuits.
