Frank,
I do not understand this. Halogen lamps are the same wattage as tungstan
filiment lamps and sould not put any more of a demand on the system. The
addition of the halogen to the tungstan filiment yeilds more light for the
same energy. We have been running halogen lamps on our bugeye for five years
with out any problems. We will change to an alternater sometime just because
of the cost of parts but have been to lazy to make the alternator, negitive
ground change change over.
