Paul,

How many bulbs and what Wattage are you using in the driving light package?

The general rule-of-thumb is to fuse at twice the nominal load. Two 100 Watt bulbs from a single relay would be fused at 30 Amps ... because the normal load is 14.28 Amps. Dual relays [one per lamp for redundancy] would be each fused at 15 Amps.

That Hella lighted switch requires '+' power, and'-' ground connection for the bulb, and the output terminal is '+' power ... which should go to a relay coil. When you pull out the switch it powers the bulb and switches '+' power to the output terminal.
