Rep Power: 0 The equation you need is simple. From Ohms Law there is a formula derived to find power. Quite simply:
Power = Voltage Times Current:
Rearrange the equation to get
current = power (W) / voltage (V)
Therefore if each bulb were 55 Ws and we have roughly 13.8 volts (car running) then we get
55W/13.8 = 3.99 Amps per bulb or about 8 amps for both
