quattro Digest, Vol 4, Issue 51- Euro Lights - Harness

[l.leung at juno.com]

Around the semi urban/suburban area that Chi and I live in,
for short bursts, the harness will do. Any continuous duty 
with Hi Wattage (> 100 W) bulbs, it'll get REAL hot. From 
what I read on the wire insulation, (PVC) it's only good to
104 C, so I personally wouldn't use the SUV harness for much
more than an 85W driving light, 60W Main/55W Dip Beam set-up. 
Of course, the only 85W H3's I've found are from PIAA, so I 
kinda gave up for now (can't really use Main Beams around here
or you'll piss someone off!)

How well will your $55 harness handle four 130 watt bulbs?  Let's 
see...  That'd be about 40 amps.
