What gauge of wire is required? My Tundra stock fog lights have very thin gauge wire and pull 45 watts; 3.52 amperes; 815 lumens. I want to wire this

As long as you wire the lights to two different wires/reverse lights then the same gauge as your truck is fine. Since they are LED they don't draw too much. I went with 10 gauge so I could add other lights in the future.

These lights draw .81A at 13.8V (11.2W) & at 12V - .92A (11.1W) so you could use FOUR of these with the same "thin" wire your Tundra has and have about 4000 lumens.

Most likely the wire will be fine considering the LEDs don't draw as much power as conventional lights.

Hi, I used a pre made wire kit that has a push button switch that I got off of amazon it works best

ARe the bulbs in your fog lights 45 watts or do they draw 45 watts? The Led lights will draw less than than your fog lights.

This would depend on the number of lights you want on a circuit. this light will use around .3 amps 12 ga wire will hold about 9 amps for power transmission loads calculate your loads times .8 or 80 percent of the capacity of the line and fuse it for that 7.2 amps for 12 ga wire also be sure that your switch is sized to handle the amps that you are switching. a circuit wired with 12 ga should handle about 24 light fixtures a .3 amps a light. if you have a long run or are packing the wire into a tight space lower your load ( number of lights) as heating of the wire will cause a failure of the wire carry a open air load of 9 amps.

I use them as fog lights... very bright! You will need a vehicle specific adaptor kit... about $60.....

If you have about 4x6 clearance you have plenty clearance! I replaced my old fog lights in my semi tractor with them. Easy hook up and a harness with switch and wiring with relay comes with! Great buy!!

As long as you have a flat surface to mount to and a clear path to run the wire then yes. They are very easy to install. I would strongly recommend going to Ace Hardware or a local hardware store and buying stainless steel bolts for mounting into the frame. Do not plan on using these lights as fog lights while driving on road!!! You WILL blind people and cause a wreck!!! THEY ARE BRIGHT!!! I purchased two sets of these lights for my Ford Raptor, one set of of floods and one set of driving lights. I would recommend the floods over the driving lights, much more usable light pattern.

What are you putting your light on? With mine I tied straight into the existing wire harness for my atv headlights. If I were gonna run a new wire and a switch I would run 12 gauge wire.

Depends on your car or truck,I mounted my lights in the openings of my front bumper where the stock 35 watt lights were.The 2013GMC 2500 HD , I was able to use right angle drill to mount them to the lower front bumper fasha .The best part is now I have 55watt fog lights that I can controll with a separated switch. KC are the best light for the money! Good luck with your project T.M.G.

I used 12/2 gauge, but knowing the length of wire and total wattage if bulbs is key

I'm a electrician 14 guage is fine it doesn't pull any amps bring led. You will be fine with 14 guage wire

Are the connecting wires of appropriate gauge? You need at least 14 gauge wire to supply power. I sized mine up to 12 gauge which is rated for 20 amps.

Same here, 2010 base, 8 wires on the connector, only degrees/Celsius and light up worked, I found a Forum where instructions guide to complete connections. Tundraforum.comI was told by a toyota service tech that it is a "hit or miss", will update post after following the instructions to complete connection.

You will need a foglight wiring kit. It will have a relay and on/off switch.

No question is a dumb question. When in doubt, just ask, that is all. YES, you can tap into your existing 12 gauge wire without any problem. 12 gauge can carry lot of current, lot than you need for your 12 volt system and ,like you said, you are only at 52 watts -you can easily add more if you want. I am at 110 watts, no issues what so ever for the last 2 years. So relax and do what you want to do: add one more lights. Also look at your transformer, check it is designed for how many watts. They go anywhere from 50 watts to upward of 200 watts

Hi, Wiring harness is not included. These use the same bulbs are your stock fog light. Thank you

0 Gauge wire should be used!That is what is ran to my Brutus.At the very least a deep cycle battery (fast discharge) should be used!My total system wattage is 5400& I use 0 to each amplifer!The more voltage the better!!!Don't Skimp Out!

I wired mine with a relay. You can google wiring for fog lights and you can find a generic scymatic.

I don't know the gauge of the wire. For a lamp, it's probably 18, but if only 20, or even 22, it should handle more than150 watts. I'm not an electrician, but I think you can safely assume that any lamp accessory will handle a 150 watt bulb/
