Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
There is a thread in the CUCV Helpful Threads Sticky that covers why the headlight fuse gets hot and melts. It is not an over amperage that would cause the fuse to blow.Burned the lights fuse on my way home.
Heard a hissing sound, followed by a flame near my feet and my lights went out.
Turned on the lightbar and drove to a gas station 100yards further.
The 20amp fuse had caught fire. and melted down.
Pulled the remains out and put in a 25amp fuse.
I looked it up and a 30amp should be in there, but the biggest fuse available was a 25amp.
10 minutes later at home, the 25amp also was hot.
Ohw well, another small issue to fix. Thinking about putting a relay for the headlights.

Found it!There is a thread in the CUCV Helpful Threads Sticky that covers why the headlight fuse gets hot and melts. It is not an over amperage that would cause the fuse to blow.
Mine has been converted a long while ago, to pass inspection here, they need to be H4, something about the lightbeam, dunno, hard to convert the word to english.It's awesome the kind of stuff I've missed that's been written since I got my truck in 2010. Glad to see the knowledge and tricks keep evolving over time. I did just order the HELLA headlamps myself, I'll probably just get the harness now too since I'm not _currently_ experiencing any headlight issues but would rather not create any by overdrawing with H4s.
Don't remember, did you convert to 12V?
Its gotta be dark there by now,share up! Please.
What size of tire are you running? Looks good by the way.Got my Rancho 2 1/2 inch lift installed yesterday. I installed a 12v power point and a phone charger and downloaded a neat inclinometer app on my phone.
