Default dumb lighting question

So I have some LED min fog lights I want to add to my bike. I was going to wire them in line with the headlight. I was spit balling with buddy, he is saying that it could cause issues with the headlight? too much draw? I am not electrical smart.

Bike is an 2004 dyna lowrider

Lights are theseebay listing for them

One pair, high output Cree LED lights will light up everything you need to see.

Designed for extreme conditions.


Top quality, Chrome coated aluminum housing.

6watt/pair will consume substantially less power compared to standard halogen lights.

60 Degree Spot beam.

6000K Xenon white


100% water and weather proof.
Dimensions: 2-3/8" x 1-3/8" (35x60mm)
Mounting stud is 1" long (30mm). Thread size is 5/16" (8mm)

thanks Pat

6w is less draw than a single tail light bulb. Your headlamp wiring would not notice it.

Contrary to popular belief wiring is not rated for the load it has to take but is rated for the fuse it has to blow.

If you have a 15A fuse then every wire on that circuit has to be rated at 15A, regardless of how small the load.
