Re: Headlights and bulbs

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I emailed with 1 of them and he stated that if I stayed with 50W on 
the headlights, I would OK and that's what the original 4001/2 dual 
headlamps or the 6012 single style were.  I can't find any documentation on 
the wattage of these originals so I'm hoping he's right.

The tail/stop/turn/backup/license plate/etc. are proving to be much more of 
a challenge though.  My car (cah) has 1034's and 1073's for the most part 
(paht) and some vendors are suggesting 1156 and 1157's as replacements. 
Anyone know about this?  Anybody?  Buehler?

The other pa.. side of the story is current usage.  LED's use much less than 
filament bulbs to many are calling for capacitors to be cut (ouch) in-line 
before EACH bulb.  I like the look and brightness of LED's on the newer ca.. 
automobiles but I'm not sure I want to cut my harness up.

So I'm holding off on the small bulb to LED changeover until I see some 
response from you guys and do some more looking and asking.
At 20-30 bucks a piece and maybe more for capacitors I want to know more 
before I go toasting relays and switches/fuses.
Measure twice, cut once, I always say.  No pun intended, well why not. :P

My only thoughts on changing out the headlights are,,,,,,,what  is the
wattage on the new lamps, is it going to overload the old wiring? will  you 
need to
install relays to handle the new load
