Two bulbs = 40%? Uh, No.
Uh, yes. 7 bulbs takes 140% of the current of 5 bulbs.

Seriously though, that looks too busy for me, but I'm sure you can splice them in just fine.

Well, they are on... Looks GREAT!

used 7 Lights, Two harnesses, picked up the nuts locally, Took a couple hours to get all the measurements down right, but in the end...it looks sharp!

I'll get up some photos this week, see if I can get some good Evening Photo's..

Oh, I would like to add, TexasRebel... We used the STOCK 194 bulbs..just to see what would happen...and..Nothing happened. Powered up just fine, and adding two bulbs...added a mere .50 amp (yes we checked 5 vs 7) so I dunno where you get your information, but you really need to reconsider your source...

my source is math...

I just looked it up and a 194 bulb has a specification of 270 mA at 14vdc which would result in a 540 mA (or 0.54 A) increase from 5 to 7... so I was right.

you should get 1.35 A with 5, and 1.89 A with 7 while the engine is running (system at ~14v)

you did check them with the engine running, right?

on an unrelated note, was I just lucky that I got nuts WITH the lamp housings?

The harness can handle 1.87 amps without letting the smoke out.
