Should be ok.......might have a prob if you use them all at the same time as it will pull quite a big load, but hey, how often will that happen? you could always drop an inline fuse (easily accessible!) at a lower rating than the fronts, or put a relay on them........see how it goes...

i think the idea of an in-line fuse is the most obvious. don't no why i didn't think of that!
cheers mate:smartass

drop a 10/15 on an in-line, don't up the fuse for the fronts in the fusebox or you may end up frazzled! pity you couldn't check put the fusebox, chances are it would have been wired for the rears then you could have just run the positives from there and fused it, maybe worth checking out in the future...
