Do I need a relay for 12v LED lights?
A relay is an electrical switch that lets a low current circuit control a high current circuit such as a large LED light bar. If you are using a light pod that does not have a very large amp draw, you may not need a relay switch, but if you are using a larger LED light bar, they are a must have.
Do I need a relay to wire a LED light bar?
So in short if you do not properly wire the light bar to a battery and use a correct amperage switch which will keep the light bar on it’s own independent circuit a relay is unnecessary. However if you tap into the high beams or another lower voltage switch then you will need a relay to avoid an electrical fire.
What fuse should I use for LED lights?
I generally like to have at least 100% extra rating so a 3 amp fuse max is what i would use. This should be plenty for 4 leds. If you have working leds but blow a 10A fuse i think your wiring needs checking and you will probably find your fuse is directly across the battery.
