I love 12V and usually can find my way around with out any help, but I have two quick questions about lighting and wiring ratings.

Stock fog lamp wiring - I am using it to carry the load of my 6in off road lights mounted on the bumper. I believe these are 55watt bulbs, so a 10 amp load. I used part of the wiring that came with the new fog lamps and connected them BOTH to one leg of the factory fog lamp wiring. I filled the other side OEM plug with RTV to prevent a short. They have been this way for probably 6 months trouble free. My latest issue which you will hear about next has got me thinking I should re-do this wiring job. The aftermarket fogs came with wiring that linked them together in the fashion they are now. Should I worry with this at all?

Auxiliary back up and work laps - the new issue. I have lights on my cargo basket. They are 55watt fog lamps wired to a series of relays, one tripped by the back up lamps and one tripped by a switch located in the cargo area. Both relays are fed by the same circuit on a 10 (or 15, can't remember) amp fuse. Now, I want to install a waterproof connector so I can take the basket off without undoing all the wiring. I found the connector picture below, it is a OEM type fog connector with 18AWG wire on it. Is this safe to use for two 55w lamps? (10amps)

Found one of these with 18AWG wire run to it...rated for 13amps continuous.
