Total amp draw (stock)

[Jesh]

So this past year I installed a LED light bar on my VR4, (don't worry I didn't just screw it to front bumper) seeing how most of my driving is done in the dark on back roads by myself. I have found the light bar to be a huge benefit. But like anything once we have something we want more of it So I'm looking to add a bit more light and was wondering what the total amperage draw is in completely stock form with fog lights on, a/c etc... I know one of you guys must know, if this subject hasn't already been covered before.

I'd say with defrost on, high beams on, stereo playing, HVAC fans on high, basically all loads on, you'd be around 40-60amps. Don't think anyone has really ever measured total amp draw, so basing this on typical power consumption for all parts.

Lets see some pictures of the light bar!

What you need to do is rather simple, if we want to scratch the surface.

Grab an accurate amp clamp that will do DC volts, and hook into a quality multimeter.

Confirm the alternator is putting out low AC volts
