Hey gasguy check this out this is from dirtydog

55w bulbs = 15A fuse (14-18ga wire)
100w bulbs =20A fuse (12-14ga wire
130w bulbs = 25A fuse(10-12ga wire)
150w bulbs = 30A fuse(10-12ga wire)

I would not go to big of fuse as wires can start melting before the fuse pops

I still want to know if those Mopar style tow hooks from the 2500 and 3500's will fit the 1500's. The "bar" style suck in my opinion.

butch, don't know if they will fit on your truck. I can get out tomorrow and measure mounting points and foward that info to you. i snap a few pics so you can get a better idea. If the holes line up, I don't see why not. Others will chime in soon I suppose.
