[contrary experience deleted.] Try measuring the voltage _at_the_bulb_ while the bulb is lit and the motor is running at its most usual revs, etc. I would be _very_ surprised if it was 14 volts. You usually have to rebuild your lighting loom with special wire and connectors to achieve anything close to this. If you do, you get brighter light and shorter life. -- Chris Malcolm cam@uk.ac.ed.aifh +44 (0)31 650 3085 Department of Artificial Intelligence, Edinburgh University 5 Forrest Hill, Edinburgh, EH1 2QL, UK DoD #205
