Is it just me or is this email considered offensive? Speaking of bullshit... YOUR answer is bullshit.

Let say there is 0.5ohms of resistance between the battery and the headlight with the factory 14ga wiring. It is probably more, but we're all driving a nice Vanagons. The voltage drop at the lights would be: V = 15.5A x 0.5ohm ^2 V = 15.5 x 0.25 V = 3.875 . . . >> That is one hell of an assumption. Why don't we just round the conductor resistance off to 0.87096774194 ohms then your argument will prove that the lights won't work at all. By the way, your calculation is wrong; the voltage drop across 0.5 ohms at 15.5A is 7.75 V. What bullshit. George
