Had a bulb go out on my light bar.....searched all the local parts houses and the closest I can find is a 55w. The stock bulb is a H312V35W. The Amp draw on the 35 is listed at 2.92ish Amps. Will the 55W bulbs smoke my eletrical system?

I was able to find an exact replacement at the local HD dealer.

I've been using a pair of standard 55W H3 bulbs in my lightbar for more than 6 months. Nothing's gone bang so far.

I've run 55 watters in the Triumph light bar with Triumph light bar wiring harness with no problems. I believe worst case would be the fuse may blow. I don't think it would be a problem to bump up the fuse by 5 amps if necessary.

The one time I shopped for 35 watters, I had to hunt for a while to find them from an online source.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I appreciate it. Off to the parts store in the morning for some 55's.

No problems. I've been running 55W four years now.
