    I give ya credit dude. What you have been thru trying to get these lights installed. It's obvious you think they would make a great upgrade to your rig. And honestly...I'd like to see how they look on your JKU. Hope it all works out. Was just bustin your balls. I'm sure your rig will look awesome when you get'em wired up. Patience dude. It will work out.

    The fuse size in the harness should be plenty. Its good for up to 200 watts. I think you will be running 20-ish

    Really at @chris4x4 i think its a 15 amp fuse i believe? And @JKBob 25 i know for a fact that theyll look great on the rig. Worst part is over i already know where to run the wire so it wont get messed up ill post pics as i go along when i install them ill do a step by step thread for them but first if you have a jku plan on 38 feet of wire total lol

    The only thing i will have to look out for is when i do the new fenders and fender liners ganna go with metal ones and maybe drill a small hole to pretty much make the lights flush mounts. Ganna be a blast! I kinda love doing this type of stuff i started messing with radio wires when i was like 7 i took apart my radio and made it louder

    Yeah, Its rated for 200. 15 amps is more than enough for your set up.

    One issue with running a fuse that is too big is that you can have a fire start on you if the fuse does not blow. Just a thought.
