Should fog lights be wire parallel or in series to the battery? if my fog lights are 55 watts each, then total amp draw is 55/12v = 4.5 x 2 = 9 amp right? If that is the case then I would need to get a relay that supports 9 amp or above right?

 

Ya just get a relay that can support 9 amps then run a power wire off the relay to each fog light. That should work fine, good luck.

 

what is a fusible link?

 

"Fusible link" is a section of wire that is designed to burn up before the rest of the wiring loom goes. If it goes up, you have to find the problem (normally a major item!) and then replace that section of wire.

I'm not sure if they use fusible links in Hondas, but they are always a good idea.

Those big 80amp & 100amp fuses that bolt into the engine-compartment fusebox are used instead of fusible links.

And I'd get a relay that can support more than just 9amps. Bulb resistance is lower when cold, so the starting current will be higher for a moment when you first turn them on. It's not nearly as strong as the starting current for an electric motor, but it should be pretty easy to find a relay that can handle 15A.

 

I could be wrong but most fog lights wiring (including stock honda) uses a 30 amp relay. iF you buy from honda $35.00. From Radio Shack or a place near my house called skycraft, its only $0.49 cents.

 

I don't know the price, but what you want is a Bosch 0 332 204 150 relay. Use a section of fusable link in the wire that goes directly to the battery.
