Has  anybody tried the higher wattage taillites being sold by a vendor?

IS  the wattage ok for the wires?  Do they get too hot?

If anybody  knows the part numbers, I would prefer to get them locally
(Canada) rather  than order via the web.

Higher wattage tail tamp bulbs WILL melt your tail  lamp housing, no problem
with the wires.  I just got done replacing a set  of melted housing for a
customer cauz someone put the ordinary 1156, 21 watt  bulb in the tail lamp
socket.  If you want brighter tail lamps try the new  LED ones that are coming on
the market.
