wiring a switch

I see why you need those now. So like you said, a 15 amp fuse would work right?

15amp max, and since you are using LED bulbs you could probably get by with a smaller size fuse like a 5 or 10amp even. The lower the amp size fuse, the faster it would react in an overload situation. I'd rather replace a fuse at 15 cents than a vehicle at $1,000+. I'd get the things wired up then try a 5amp fuse and if its not large enough the fuse will blow, then go to a 10 amp, but I wouldn't go any larger than a 15 amp for this lighting application due to the lights will not draw that much current. Look on the package when you buy them it should also tell you the amperage.

Ok. I'll just go with 10 amps and see from there. If not i'll go with 15. One more question is 14 gauge wire good wire to use? Thank you for the info.

Use marine grade tinned wire and if you solder the connections and shrink wrap them you will get better results in the long run.

I think putting some caulking around them wouldn't hurt, or maybe it would, lol I dunno.
