You can use a Big Bulb & see it go from barely lit to well lit,, & thats sure to not blow & save your wires,, be kerfull!
All based on the SWAG method,, scientific wild assed guess,,
I don't understand this concept. If the light can be connected directly from the positive to the negative of the battery......and light up. What is going to make it blow if you put it where the fuse would go? You aren't going to get any more current through the light than you would by placing it as a dead short between the two battery terminals?
Let's say put the light where the fuse would be.....then find a wire and place it directy agains the fame. Instead of the fuse blowing the light bulb will get bright......but it won't blow as there is only 12 volts running through it and that is exactly what the light his designed to do.
I am not sure how this light in the fuse locaiton is going to help. When you replace the fuse with the light bulb and turn on the key, current is going to start flowing in several directions. It wil be going to the neutral light, the headlight, the tail light, the front running lights, the ignition system, the safety interlock system(s). The light in place of the fuse is going to light up as you have put it in series with all these other systems....and maybe some of the currentl will flow through the short and into the frame - but the lgiht where the fuse goes will not burn out.
Kinda depends on Where its put. If the thing was put in the line providing power to the starter, its gonna blow up. If its in series with a load thet drops voltage, then itll be dim, until there is a short around the load, then itll get bright.Probably only as bright as it would be in a lamp socket,
