My thought is if the fuse pops there is usually a good reason for it. If it keeps trying to reset could it cause more damage?

Thanks for the pic Dennis, it might come in handy. I was asking about the circuit breakers that automatically reset on the headlight circuit.

I have always used the auto resettable style . Generic style circuit breakers from NAPA. I cannot say any of them have ever tripped after the installation so they must work.. remember to properly size them to the load , oversized fuses is not always better.

The headligt upgrades I have read about in the FAQ section shows 30 amp breaker or fuse.

Another project rolled in today. LINK It's a 65 GT Fast Back 4 speed. It has been sitting for 15 years in a shed and they just want to get it running for now.
