Hi, I am tyring to spec out relays for an alarm system using the BSII.
Would anyone know the current rating for the parking lights on a 95 Camaro?
I need to use a stamp output to trigger a relay to flash the parking lights.
Or, would anyone know what exact relay I could use? I plan on using a
2N2222 to supply enough current for the relay. Thanks

    Tyson,

    They are one amp per filament. Most have two filaments,
    individually selectable by the "buttons" on the base of the
    bulb.

    most car alarms provide 10A for the parking lights, so your actual requirement
    is likely less.

    Tyson,

    I think Potter & Brumfield's T90 series, or knock-off, is one of the most
    common in high-current automotive applications...
