The heat produced by those bulbs can be a problem. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

Not only is it a strain on the wiring but also the original generator will not be able to keep up. You may find it necessary to update the wiring and generator or change to an alternator. _________________________ How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
