OK,
I should apologise for trying to be smart, That link is for computer cable; however Tow Equipe do a 13 core cable for the new trailer wiring, that should work.

Also one other thing, whats the sort of current that the wire will need to manage for the full beam and dipped headlights? Thanks

gee man if you wire up the sierra column correctly then it will all work as described above.
you can get the 10 core cable from here http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.e...e/homepage.php |

ok thats an easy one
add upp the wattage of the bulbs that the wire /switch is feeding and divide by 12 that will give you the amperage drawn for eg.. 2 x55w headlamp bulbs and 2 x5w rears and 1x3w no plate is total 123watts so 123w divided by 12 is a tiny bit over 10 amps so you will need cable and switching to carry 10 amps comfortably probably you will find 17 amp cable is an industry standard ( blue lucas terminals ) and a 15 amp fuse would be adequate for this circuit.. hope that helps cheers les g |

little science question for you geeman. the bulbs are 55watt you have about 13ish volts you should be able to work out the amps required from that
aargh les you ruined it the main reason i specified a wire per bulb is due to the reduced thermal efficiency of multi core cable. where they are all bundled together tightly it makes it harder for each wire to dissipate heat under high load. Last edited by AshG : 25th January 2010 at 10:59 PM. |
