That sounds almost too good to be true. Wouldn't this burn out the lights faster?

Post by: LUVNMY06TJ on September 09, 2014, 12:47:26 PM: Awesome! Thanks. As I had to recently replace both lights I think I'll just rewire them until the lights go out again. Then I'll upgrade.

@Mortalis5509 Delta lights? What are those?
