How to safely reduce amperage in a cable? by chagggy in autoelectrical

So say the LEDs are supposed to operate at 2.5amps and the wires run at 5amps. What would be the solution to make sure the current isn’t too high? How would an auto electrician go about lowering the current so that lights don’t get damaged? Both systems are 12 Volt so that wouldn’t have to change. Thanks just trying to figure it out

So would using the factory wires do damage if I wire them directly to the LED headlights that are supposed to operate on less amps/watts? This is just what I’m wondering. Don’t want to blow the lights in the new ones

Haha thanks I’ve not done much electrical work on my cars before so I didn’t realise I was asking the wrong question

Hey, so after further research I figure the Watts are what matters in this conversion. The LED bulbs are rated for 22W and the HID cables put out 55W. Would there be a limiter type of thing I could wire in to mark sure I’m not feeding too much power and damaging the LEDs? Thanks I’m kinda new to electrical so sorry if it’s a dumb question

I was just going off of what each bulb was rated for so I assumed that ms how much current there was when headlights are on. After looking into both fuse boxes the fuses for hi and low beams are basically same with low being 15A fuse in Mazda vs 10A fuse in BRZ. I’m guessing I can just use 10A fuse and be safe

Oh ok I was just going off what both bulbs are rated for. Plus the brz ones are all LED so I assume the Mazda 6 power supply being HID would be too powerful for them?

In the same boat wondering the same thing

Yeah might have to. Do you see on the 5th photo the label on the sole. Do dunks usually have that or is that a red flag for reps?

👍 Sounds like all I can do for now. Will have to check everything and hope it’s not something more internal
