12 volt light wired to make 24 volt lights

[indy4x4fab]

I have 4, 6'' lights I want to put on my 818, but they are 12 volt. If I wire them up so that two of them are wired in series, can i use them with the 24 volt system? I'm wanting them to turn on in pairs any how.

yes that is how Ohms law works.

But if one bulb burns out, both lights go out....just like your christmas lights

Stupid Christmas lights.

Why not put 24v bulbs in them?

Cool I thought it would work. A buddy gave me 6, 4.5'' round work likes off of some old d.o.t. road signs when they when threw and replaced them all with l.e.d. lights. So I thought they world look great in the front bumper of the 818, two forward and two angled out the front, and maybe a couple out back and on the sides. For that night time craw, threw the woods.

Gimpy do they make 24volt 4.5'' bulbs?

 

[Westech]

Sure they do.. have you googled? But 2 12's works good too

HAVE YOU SEARCHED!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I actually have some. See what the numbers are on your bulbs and I'll let you know if mine will fit.

Christmas lights have to be put up really straight to ensure they work properly and maintain the proper appearance.

Make sure your spotlights are on straight!
