The only ones I could find are rated at 10 amp vs the stock one which is either 20 or 25 amp? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>If you are using a realy then it makes no difference as a realy will not draw anywhere near 10 amps. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thanks Phil, I finally figured that out At first I was a bit puzzled as the Hella harness has a relay and higher rated amp switch. Everything is up, 2 tier factory bar (almost new, paid $250), WARN light bar (great stuff, pain to tighten down upper bolts), pair of Black Magic's for now. Used the 10 amp switch from AutoZone, looked at the one from R/S but it is a bit large when I placed it under the rear wiper housing.

Using the Hella harness & relay, ended up going -ve straight to battery using one of those post-extenders & ran +ve to the +ve lead in the engine fuse box (didn't want to use another extender as I couldn;t find a suitable terminal cover for the +ve, used the suggested add-a-fuse thingy in the unused circuit.

Thanks to all the postings on this forum, it really made things a LOT easier!! Though I wished I had an extra pair of hands when battling the rubber boot thru the firewall, spent most of my time there, hate to just "feel" it without clear line of sight, then it took me nearly as long to reseat the center flap which got out of place when I threaded the harness through.

Only problem left is that everywhere I checked, I was told that the grill guard for the Black Magic's are discontinued, so I have to go with the clear cover for now...

For Hum2 - thanks for the tip. I actually bought a couple from Autozone when I was there buying the add-a-fuse, and that's what I ended up using. BTW, couldn't believe my dealer quited me $30+ for the OEM one.

I actually found some more switches similar to the Autozone ones at a local electronic store, looked & rated identical, except the full face of the switch surface is translucent with the respective color, bought one but didn;t use it as it would emit more light than necessary.
