Questions about my truck "electrical"

I bought this truck in October and Had my first problem with it last week. My headlight went out. While diagnosing this problem I found that a lot of my fuses were over rated in the fuse box. Two of them I don't think I need can you guys help?
Fuse E i show to be for Quad lamps-how do I know if I have this?
Fuse F is basically all the park/running lamps correct?
Fuse G is security and/or Daytime Running Lamps, Do I have either of these?
Fuse I Tranny control relay. I know I have it does it do anything else?

So I don't think i need Fuse E or G what do you guys think?

Also over rated in the cab fuse box were
Fuse 6 Wipers?
Fuse 12 all internal cab lights?

I know if the fuses start to blow I have a intermittent short I need to find, but I'll get to that when it happens

By the way, I got the headlight going. and already put in the correct fuses. Let me know if you need any more info

You only need the fuse in for the quad lamps if you have the "sport" package with the Quad lights(4 headlights instead of two).

chances are you need to clean the ground for the wiper motors and you can return to the correct fuse and probably the same for the interior lights

I do not have the fuse location / rating , but would suggest that you do not over rate any of the fuses / but leave the stock rating in all .
Do you have an owners manual ?
If not go to the junk yard and look through all the trucks like yours , then you can see all the location info .
If you are going to keep this truck , then get " only the factory manual " , to get the most info / correct info .
Nothing else is worth buying .
You can get both the hard copy & CD from Geno's Garage .
My link is not the home page .

As stated I have already switched back to the stock fuses, and two days so far with rain without any blowing I was just trying to find out if I needed the quad lamp fuse or the security/drl fuse. I know now i do not need the quad lamp fuse but I know I have a security relay. Does that mean I have a security system?
