I bought a cheap 30” light bar and it says that it is 540 watts but I am struggling to find a harness that is rated for 540 watts anyone got any recommendations?

AMP x Volt= Watts.

wire up the light straight to the battery through a fuse holder. try different fuses see at what amp it blows.

based on that, you need a harness to hold 41 amps or so. which means like 8ga wire. but i would be willing to bet that Amazon bar doesnt pull half that amount lol. got a link? but what the other guy said, give it a shot
