Light Bar wiring issue Help

[22Dasher]

I'm installing a new Light Bar from National cycle and wired it per the directions  right running light connects to blue and white wire Left running light connects to orange and white wire
 I cut wires to blinkers which are integrated into the light bar and they work.

My issue is my spot lights wont work and now my Neutral light won't light up...

The left light came on and I cut the switch off and now now it wont even come on. The right light never did light up....

What am I missing? Did I blow a fuse and where?

Ok I'm blowing fuses. I just put a 15 amp in and it blew then added a 20 amp and that blew to so why is this happening?

Likely have a pinched wire somewhere. I would start tracing the wireing for turns and spots. Don't forget under the seat and sidecover. Could also possibly be the switch as well, but, I would start with the wiring. Good luck

I believe it's just too much for the circuit I'm headed to Radio shack and pick up some wiring connectors and a relay and toggle switch and just wire them directly. I disconnected the running lamps and no more blown fuses.

 Hey Dasher , you should have gotten a relay with your kit of things because wiring the lites directly won't work it will draw alot current thru your circuit especially if their 55 w lites and blow fuses and just piss you off .... just read the diagram on the relay package and wire that way and you'll be all right .... I also had that same problem with some Fiam horns and hwy lites .... and make sure none of your wires are pinched before you flip the switch ......

put it as close to the battery connection as possible.  Sounds like 15A might be what you need.
