I just bought a 200W LED light bar that I plan on mounting to my ARB bumper. I also have some extra H11 connectors laying around that I used to wire my LED fog lights that I installed into the ARB. Would a single H11 connector support a 200W Light or would that overload it?

find out the gauge on the wire. if it can not handle 20 amps or more, toss your idea.

I believe the pigtail on the light itself is 14 gauge but I purchased 12 gauge for the rest of the harness. I wasnt so concerned about the wiring, just the H11 connector itself. Its a blank connector that I attach my wiring into, IE I crimp the H11 pins onto the ends of my wiring and insert the pins into the connector.

I just figured I had them and they are weather sealed so I would use them if I could.

should be fine. once its all wired up let the light bar run for awhile and feel the wire. if its hot, replace connecter and wire with 12 gauge all around.
