Yes... 12 is a good number to use though as it will give you plenty of buffer room. Also, the bulbs should be rated at 100W at 12 volts, so at 13.9 or whatever your alternator is pushing, they'll actually be drawing more than their rated 100W. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
