[QUOTE="WHITE TRASH1, post: 1307533, member: 15951"] I've ran 55 watt tractor lights paired up off of 1 switch for years. The switches are rated for 20 amps so it has a safety cushion. I also have a 15 amp fuse in the main power lead to each switch. 14 gauge wire end to end. I would HIGHLY recoment upping the amperage on the relay to at least 40 amp if not a 100 amp so you can keep it cool. A single little plastic relay may be rated for high enough amperage but once you factor in the solderless connectors, wire quality and lengths you will be pushing that poor little relay to it's limits.
