Was given a Halogen 12V 35/35 bulb.

Will it cause anyprobs as it's not 25/25?

I think all the 12 halogens are 35/35watt, well mine was. As Torchy says, the headlamp may be a bit dimmer on tickover, also it will go VERY dim when you hit the brake pedal :roll:

Does the lamp have a cup under the dip filament? A lot of these halogens don't have the cup and as a result there is no diference between main and dip :shock:

You can always use the rear brake to dip/dim the headlamp ;) ;)
