True, it's not likely that you will short out one light- unless of course
you do wiring as well as I do. :)

And, more importantly, if my low beams go out, there is no WAY I could
drive around with my high beams on in traffic-- I can melt cheese at 120
feet with 400w of high beams... so if you're going to upgrade to serious
wattage, you will  *need* to have a seperate circuit for each low beam just
in case..
		
MHO, that's all.
