mjdunn Senior Member Apr 10, 2016 #1 I just purchased turn signal lights with 12 volt bulbs. I hooked them up and they worked. Will they continue to work? If so, will there be any harm. Should I take them out and get 6 volt bulbs?

V8COOPMAN Well-known member Apr 10, 2016 #2 You won't hurt 12v bulbs in a 6v system, but they almost always end-up being far too dim to be seen safely. You sure about what you have? DD

lfson Member Apr 10, 2016 #3 No harm for the equipment but sertainly for your safety. 6V bulbs will light up much brighter than the 12V bulbs. Drive safely.

mjdunn Senior Member Apr 10, 2016 #6 Thanks guys. They seemed plenty bright, but that was inside the garage. I will check it outside.
