Are these the same as in your saloon? I guess not, because you say you replaced 5W with 10W bulbs. Anyway, do you have a source for these? Thanks,; /html/6pack/2003-01/msg00170.html (10,174 bytes)

What is the voltage rating of these bulbs? If it's not 12V, then the 14.4W rating is not valid for autos. If it's 14.4W at 12V; /html/6pack/2003-01/msg00206.html (11,601 bytes)

So the rheostat could help with a too hot bulb provided that you keep it turned down. Then the rheostat will dissipate; /html/6pack/2003-01/msg00242.html (10,350 bytes)
