For fuses, I aim for about 1.5-2 times what I expect the circuit to draw. All simple electronics, no microchips, so I'm not worried about frying anything. I really like the fuse block so I don't need to run a bunch of inline fuses. I have a bunch of circuit breakers in there, which normally do not fit cleanly in fuse holders.
Currently connected to my fuse block:
low beam relay: 2x 35 watt = ~6 amps => 10 amp fuse
High beam relay: 2x 55watt = ~9 amps => 20 amp fuse
Fog Light relay: 2x 55watt = ~9 amps => 20 amp fuse
Factory in cab fuse block: 30 amps. Kind of a guess. Biggest fuse in the fuse block is 20A. I should probably see how much I actually draw with the HVAC fan and wipers on.
Ammeter: 5A - That's what was there before.
