Just match the wire gauge of the in-line fuse holder or the wire gauge of the LED. Just don't use anything smaller.

I just installed my LED last weekend. I used a 1/2 amp fuse with 14 ga wire. I put the fuse as close to the GPR as possible.

It's gotta go on the GP side of the relay. Thus when power is passed THRU the relay it will energize the LED.

Large lug toward center of motor Scott, the black with Red strip is the battery lead.

14 awg ( copper) wire will hold 20 amps, so, if you are useing that, you are beyond fine. as far as a fuse, you could use 1/8 amp and never have a problem. Would recomend under a 1.0 amp though.

I didn't use a fuse, just ran wire the same size as LED, or whatever I had in stock.
