Chassis Clearance, Marker, Tail, running Lights Question

[James E Vining]

So I am curious as I have 7 Clearance lights on front top(5 +2 on sides top), 2 by headlights, 7 on back (5 + 2 on sides top back) and 2 tail lights.
How do I know what the total wattage is of these? I can tell with my 12 V landscape lights as each one lists it's voltage and wattage.
17 X 4 watts + one lamp post at 8 watts for a 76 watt total.
So I have 18 lights total on Winne but I have no Idea what any of them are rated as far as wattage.
looks like 9 are #57 bulbs and 4 are 1157 bulbs and 5 are 94's I believe.
The front 5 are new as the covers and the holders were toast.
I have a Multi Meter that Does up to 10 amps but does not show wattage, although I can do teh math but I do not want to smoke my meter if it is more the 10 amps with all those lights on.

#57 - 3.38 Watts
#94 - 13.3W
#1157 - Tail 3.38W; Turn 27W

Sweet Thanks, BTW how did you know that? do you have a Book of knowledge of everything or something? You seem to know just about everything 
I may be way off here but is a 1157 a combination of a #57 and a 11? Just noticed both Tail and #57 are same exact wattage.
I assume a 1156 would be a 27 watt since it is a Turn Bulb or at least I see it there alot, I think B/U Lights are 1156 too.

That just made me realize I do not even know if my B/U Lights work, although I could see attaching a couple 150 watt KC Off Road Only Daylighters as B/U also if you use manual switch ya can keep tailgaters off your Back.

Ya I would say so, One thing I always wanted was a Library room like the Old Mansion/Castle movies have with a fireplace and all walls covered from floor to 15' high and all books, then I could know everything too, or at least look it up, wait I have a computer that is even better lol.
Just need another 1.5 TB External drive

Dave,

Did you do a "mind melt" with Spock to gain this infinite knowledge?  Or perhaps
the old fashioned way like "reading"?

That was Awesome, I understand that totally as I have the winne at the moment with the rear tires off the ground on jackstands so I can test things, like brakes, transmission, make sure my repaired Tranny cable will keep working and actually putting the tranny in proper gear according to selector etc.
