Question? 45Watt -vs- 65watt head lamp (Halgen)

ok... had a burned out bulb. bulb that was in it was installed in Germany. Probably back in 97 when the PO redid much of this rig.

Anyway.... no local replacements exactly the same. I got a 65watter that fits ok and plugs in ok. I like the idea of little brighter too cause these were sorta dim buttt... will I end up popping fuses left and right due to increased Wattage?

Well actually if I start blowing fuses it shouldn't be thing of "popping fuses left and right ", but more like "popping fuses right and right " There does appear to be a fuse per bulb. Found this out in the investigation process. I dont know if this is normal or not.

dooooghhhh

forgot to mention. All my wiring was originally set up for a 24volt system.

This rig is changed from 24volt to 12volt. Only changes made were alternator at 12v instead of generator at 24v, head and tail "lamps" were changed and the ignition system was changed. That's it.
