Since the glass/gas in the bulb is tuned to receive not more than the high beam (100), when you flash both, it causes the wattage to reach 100+90=190. Sustained wattage at 190 will cause the bulb to fuse. |
Sounds good hrman, but I find it difficult to believe that high & low beams can be turned on simultaneously, even if using the stalk to flash.
I would expect that the low beam would be cut-off when flashing.
And if there are cars where both can be turned on together, even momentarily, it would be fair to expect that bulb makers enable/design their bulbs to withstand that condition.
Can someone please throw more
light on this (high beam preferred!)?
