Amps = Watts / Volts

So if they are 55w bulbs, you would have 55w / 12v = 4.6a * 2 = 9.2 amps per pair

The OEM halogen bulb should be rated for 45 watts (3.75A) each .

Ah, the bulb is a 9145. I got them confused with the bulbs in my old truck's fog lights. Should be a 45 watt. Not heard of a 42 watt?
