jetcat - If you haven't done it, you might consider changing the tail lamps bulbs to LED. I have all four tail lamps wired as stop and run. All four used about 8Amps. With the running and brake lamp filaments on the four bulbs were using about 10 Amps! The LED's reduced that considerably, to about 1/2 Amp.

I thought about using LEDs but when I started researching bulbs, it was overwhelming with all the choices. Do you have recommendations for the 1156 & 1157 bulbs and flasher? Saving the current of incandescent bulbs would be beneficial in my case.
