1996-2007 Multiple Vehicles - Use of Aftermarket Lamps - Do Not Use High Wattage Bulbs
Several aftermarket companies offer replacement headlamp bulbs of a higher wattage rating than OEM stock bulbs. These bulbs are not dot approved and are typically sold with the disclaimer of 'for off-road use only'. In addition to possibly being illegal for street use, the bulbs also draw much more current than OEM bulbs. This increased current can result in actuation of the short-circuit protection feature (looking like bulb burnout), or damage to the headlamp switch, multifunction switch, wiring, wiring connectors, or even the headlamp assemblies themselves. These highwattage aftermarket bulbs should be replaced with OEM bulbs, and customers advised not to use them.
