Hey guys,

I know basics about electronics but what about electronic in car. I want to add a little switch in my contour that will allow me to turn on some lights lets say under the car. (I want to see if the boogy man is under my car when it's dark). I'd like to connect it to the fuse box... Now what I need to know is how they rate a fuse.. If it's rated 7.5, I guess that is 7.5 amps. Is that right?

Also, if I have 2 bulbs that will take 5 amps each. Can I connect both on the same fuse?
If so, will I then require a 10 rated fuse?

And for the voltage I guess I don't have to worry about that since it's 12v all over...

Thanx guys for you time...
I'll help you guys if you have web/programming related questions. smile
