7 volt bulb in 12 volt system
Have a peterbilt truck that I haul my Pontiacs with. Different size gauges and to get the same brightness have to run a 7v bulb #55 in two of them. Problem is they don't last long. Can I put something in the line ? Help Thanks Can't come up with a 12v that's as bright as the other 14 gauges.

If you can add it to the gauge, the xtra bulb will add light and since they'll be in series, each will get half of the 14V charging voltage, just where they were designed to live.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
