LED ligting 900 1997

Hi Dave,

Adjust the headlights so they are aiming at the road and not at the oncoming traffic. If you get lots of flashes then you need to readjust.

It's easy to measure current at the headlight fuses, and would help me compare your Auxito headlight with the others I've tested. I'm guessing you will find
about 2 DC amps for those lamps, Use your VOM which should handle 10 amps.

You can take a dead ATC fuse and Dremel the top around the metal legs, and solder
wires to it to make a handy test plug to measure current in ATC fused circuits.
Perfect to measure the headlights. That will be lower than the 10 Amp limit in
most VOM's.

Over ten amps you need the HF current tester or an analog meter with that same
plug made from a dead ATC fuse.
Get a 0-50 DC Amp analog meter with the shunt for $15 at Ebay.
Then you can safely survey your fuel pumps that normally draw 10.5A Total
Then ask how some people were blowing 25 Amp fuses and then 30 amp fuses
for the Fuel? Those same people found their fuel relay sockets toasted.

Checking current in a fused circuit is a good diagnostic tool.
