High power light bulbs

And if you ferret around a bit you can also get the same relay with an inbuilt blade fuse thus fusing the light circuit without adding any more connectiions which is always a good idea with electrickery.

Thanks guys lots of good pointers.
The need for a rewire confirmed two days ago with 12 volt brought down to .5 across a couple of connections but that's another story for another day

Further to the relay mods mentioned above, I also fit a 25 Amp contact breaker into the top of the tool box.

If it trips, it is accessable whilst riding (just reach down & push the button to re-set); thankfully never had to do it yet!

How bizarre, not only do I use a circuit breaker but I also bolted it into an identical position to you

One thing worth mentioning on this thread is the ammeter rating. Some are only 8 amps which is 48 watts at 6 volts so if you fit higher wattage bulbs you might need to also upgrade the ammeter. If you are on 12 volts the 8 amp ammeter will be adequate.
