Re: Day Time Running Lights - self-install summary
If the wire has a higher ampere rating than the fuse, then the wire will not burn no matter where the fuse is located. Fuses do protect devices somewhat, but there primary function is to protect wires from burning. If a wire burns in a protected circiut it is because of an oversize fuse, undersized cable.
In house wiring you should never use a 14 gauge wire in a 20 amp breaker (14 gauge wire and its max breaker size is 15 amp) so I always buy bigger wires and not worry about it. If the 15 amp breaker fails to open, the larger size wire will buy you some more amperes and hopefully the breaker will eventually open.... ok I'm rambling, somebody slap me... in short same apply with cars.
