Putco's relays are 6 pin or 4 pin. Used on Hondas.

Has anyone added in fuses to to the Putco harness?

I am a bit concerned that the harness has the battery connected to the relays and head lights without any fuses in the harness.

If I am using the stock headlights what fuse should I used for each relay? I am thinking 20 amp.

Has anyone done this? I am thinking a crimping connectors on the ends of two prewired fuse holders and putting it in the two lines to the battery to provide protection. Or possibly use circuit breakers. I hate electrical fires.

I don't understand the issues with the relays I have had this same harness on my pick up since 06-07 and never had an issue with them . I hope putcos quality has not gone down the crapper !?

my boss has fuses on his harness that he put inline, bought the spade connector style and put them inline, I believe his are 15 amp too.. I think its a smart idea to have them in. he also upgraded the ground connections to a better connector. still waiting for my harness and gonna do the upgrades to it before I install it. may look at a different relay set up and wire that in too... heard some people say the relays can be defective and you cant find them easily if you need one... just my 2 cents of thought. minus tax of course

Relays can be found. Someone posted up the Autozone part number once and I failed to write it down... I'll save it next time.

www.rushps.com is now making harnesses.
