Harold46 'Bolter H Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 Georgia	Trying to improve visibility on my 46 tail & stop lights. It is a 6V system. Will a 12V bulb burn as bright using a 6V system? Given the same CP will a 6V bulb be better than a 12V or visa versa? Thanks, Harold Harold Is a restoration ever finished?
