What IF - using relay(s) vs hvy rocker switch

[corky.bailey]

Working on my electrical "design" (using that term very loosely) and trying to figure out if I have to put seperate relays in for headlights, tail lights, dome lights, running lights, OR can I use heavy (15-20 amp) rocker switches and eliminate the relays?

Thanks

I installed 100 watt off road lights on our cart and used a relay to keep switch from burning up? 30 amp switch and relay. JMO

And a fuse link 30 amp

H/L "kits" usually come with a switch that controls a relay that in turn powers the lights.....

The rest of the stuff you detailed could use either but frankly they don't pull any appreciable current to worry about.....

Wallyworld sells 15amp lighted rocker switches that work fine. Red, Green, or Blue LED's.
