Tail light bulb switch out....

[HGS-Dro]

Thinking of swapping out my reverse light bulbs for some headlight bulbs but they are 55w bulbs. Do you think that the 55's would produce to much heat and melt my tail light houseing?

I would wager that either the housings would get too hot, the wire gauge would be too small and short out, or you'd get pulled over for blinding people behind you.

What if I switch out the wiring harness to fit the bulbs and then cut the opposite end to tap into the stock wires.

As interesting as your question is to me I must ask you why? My stock reverse lights are very bright. Are you going to drive in reverse? If they ever came on going down the road someone would get killed. I wouldn't risk it, but that is me.

That's cool. I have had mine for all of 4 days and I love it. Good luck on your mods.
