Yes, Yes we all know it should have circuit breakers as originally fitted but it has a new non original wiring kit fitted and all he wanted to know was the value of the fuse on the replacement headlight switch. Many cars had fuses and not circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are safer because if there is a short in the lighting circuit then the breaker contacts will open for a short period and then close again quickly when cooled and possibly give you lights again. Regards, Kevin.
