I relayed most the stuff when I wired the car back up or buy heavy duty switches which can handle he draw. When I first started wiring stuff I was melting cheap eBay switches cos I had no relay and things like fans running through them.

We are all Learning all the time, I've learnt a lot doing my truck over the years, if your not sure just ask, some one on here will be able to help. Last thing you want is it going up in a puff of smoke.

Good luck
Cheers

My friend wired 4 roof spots into his standard main beam wires and was confused when the wires melted haha

Oops, I've got a line on my finger from where we where looking for a problem my mate was having in his mini, and I grabbed the cable from under the dash and the coating had turned to a semi liquid and the wire was red hot, it hurt a lot. It was years ago, cant even remember what the problem was. Lol we all learn form our mistakes.
