the reverse bulbs are only about 7 volts.
a relay is the safest bet, and will also make the lights live up to their full potential.

check out the wire gauge vs amp chart on my last post on this thread: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...can-see-2.html

Looks damn good for the price! And it sure beats the hell out of shoveling!!!! Let us know how it works for you. If you need any practice, come on up to northern MI and you can drag the snow out of my drive I have shoveled a few feet in the last week... and its still snowing and blowing.

Also, turned out really nice for a cobbled up redneck setup

^ I thought so too! hahah As much as I would love to help you out, and test my rig.. that's one hell of a drivE.. How much you pay! LOL


I wouldn't plug a winch into the RV outlet... you need to run a direct line from the battery.. be sure to have some type of fuse in the too

I ran a positive line from the battery with a 30amp in line breaker.... I could always just tap off that and add a weather proof switch... I was thinking I kinda might want them on all the time while plowing at night

Hahahaha, in all honesty I kinda like shoveling... helps me keep my old worn out muscles in shape. And regardless, if I really get lazy or the snow gets too deep, I will just borrow my ol' mans 07 3/4ton hemi with a stainless steel V-blade and remove snow the easy way
