It means you want to install a 15 amp inline fuse between the lights and power supply. That way if the lights draw to much current it will blow the fuse and not mess anything else up electrically.

Radio shack has them too.

You may be taxing the electrical on that quad...15 amps by 12 volts is 180 watts. The lights may be dim, until you rev it up.
