I installed some Hella driving lights on my truck and wired the 30 amp relay trigger into the park light switch (orange w/ white tracer). Just to be clear this is the relay trigger, not power source which comes directly from the battery in a fused circuit.

After thinking about it, I wasn't sure how much amperage the relay trigger draws when closed. Will that be OK through the light switch? It is a fused circuit and the switch doesn't feel warm, but I don't want to melt something... what do you think?

Thanks for your help - Bob P.

 

The current required to activate a Bosch type relay is minimal and almost any small switch will work.

 

Milliamps.

 

Thank you gentlemen, I thought I was OK but it's always good to check with the "experts".
Appreciate your advice. Bob P.
