I have vw polo 1.6 16v, gti, MKV

I have recently installed Sun visors with lights (got it from MK3 golf coupe).

Doing the wiring and wondering what should be amperage for sun visor light's?, I want to put fuses for both the visors for safety reasons (there are 2 lights on both the sides of mirror on each visor).

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,

I was looking at the following post and looks like there is already a fuse for vanity / sun visor?

Wondering if I need to take the feed from "SBF10- 7.5A- Interior Lighting, Glovebox Light, Vanity Mirror Light, Luggage Compartment Light" Fuse?

Just don't want to reinvent the wheel...

Please advise..

Jag - i would definately take a feed from that fuse personally. Its the most sensible route for this.
