I'm going to be rewiring my truck over time, but first thing is to rewire my headlights (relays are on the way).
I don't have a wiring question, but rather a question about light longevity.
I am using sealed 55/65 watt lamps and am considering wiring the 65w filament as the low beam and running the 55/65 together as the high beam. First, will the 65w filament stand up to extended run periods that the 55w filament is designed for? Second, will running the 55/65 together be a recipe for early bulb replacement (too much heat, failure, etc).
Tons of sites on the net detailing this rediculously simple modification, but nobody mentions how quick their bulbs burn out
Should I give it a shot or just find a higher-rated offroad style bulb?
Thanks!
