Will not read. Too loud.

 

X2 so MUCH YELLING IN HERE!!

 

TOO LOUD WHAT THE HEY
DOES THAT MEAN. EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

 

It means take the cap lock off

 

If I am correct you want to go with a little higher voltage not watts. A higher watt bulb will be brighter just like in your house, but a higher voltage will last longer and not be as bright/hot. Nevermind just reread your post yes the 14 watt is better than 27 watt

 

Very fn helpful thanks.

 

Mine cooked as well. I pointed it out to the dealership I had bought the truck new from in 08, and they replaced the headlight assembly for me for free. I soon replaced the stock bulbs with some LEDs. No problems since.

 

Dont get mad. No problem

 

Wow. My eyeballs have a headache.

 

HIT ENTER A COUPLE TIMES

 

WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING?

LOUD NOISES!

Jg ( my # 7 reply was not directed at you only the first two geniuses)

 

We're just messing with you man, though it is hard to read a huge paragraph in all caps.

 

It is all good no issues

 

LOUD NOISES (El chip, you beat me to it)

Replace stock with LEDs. Should be good.

 

Look who found out there is a button on the keyboard that turns the caps lock off! Now you sir are the smart guy!

 

Great first thread to read this morning!

 

You can't choose a different voltage. The voltage is based on the supply voltage, which is 12 volts on a vehicle or 120 volts in a house. The wattage (power) used by the bulb is all that you can make a choice on.

 

Well I am now a wake and so is my neighbor from the yelling
