    The stock bulbs are ~4 watts. Lots of us have been using a 12v, 18 watt wedge base bulb for many years. They're much brighter and look much better. The 18w bulbs are not too hot or draw too much power for the wires.

    Malibu outdoor lighting bulbs are the ones ya want from Home Depot-

    They last for years. I once made the mistake of getting the same bulbs from Sylvania at Lowes. They suck! They burned out in well under a year. I now carry the extra two Malibu's in my glove box. If I see one has burned out, it can get changed in seconds, no matter where I am. Even without the help of an Isuzu trained mechanic.

    Another "thumbs up" on this one! 15 minutes, $5.00, and a 450% improvement - that qualifies as a "happy ending" in MY book!

    Actually, $2.50, since I've now got a "spare pair" - JUST in time for my more frequent "night driving" back from the gym too!
