Yup. Normal. Those grid heaters take a lot of juice.. Once mine warms up it stays at 15 amps too. I'm not sure that's good but it's been fine for 3 months now.....

Those grid heater pull a ton of power. After I installed my lights I took a quick drive to test them out. It was a cold night and the truck hadn't run for several hours. So I pull away and head down the street, flip on the lights, and about 2 seconds later the grid heaters comes on and kills the engine!
