55 watt hed

Asked by Lonnie Feb 07, 2017 at 02:38 PM about the 2001 GMC Sierra 1500HD 4 Dr SLE 4WD Crew Cab SB HD

Question type: Car Customization

I put 55w HED's in a 96 gmc.  I now smell a sorta
electric smell.  Is 55 watts too much for the old
harness?

4 Answers

The stock headlights are 55 watts. If the new bulbs are hotter then that may be the source of the smell.
