can i use 5x7 car lights? i have seen it done on here before, and they will give off way more light. will the S/G still charge the battery
thanks
I think 5 x 7 car lights will draw too much current and eventually deplete the battery if they exceed the max S/G charging capacity. Plus, you'll need heavier wiring and a larger fuse. If you want more light, you might try a pair of marine halogen spreader lights (http://www.iboats.com/Marine-Deck-Fl...view_id.236397). Unless you go with some of the new LED versions. The 50 watt halogens will draw about 1 amp more current than the 35 watt round lamps that are normally used.
