Re: halogen headlights

I was needing new headlight bulbs for my 1955 Clipper, but was not able to find any of the original type at the local parts houses. I ended up buying a set of halogen bulbs at NAPA. I was reluctant to do this as I had heard about additional current draw and the need for a relay or relays. The NAPA counterman checked the specs on the halogens as compared to the original type and we found out that the halogen bulb draws the same current on one of it filaments (I can't remember which one) as the original, and a bit less than the original on the other filament. This is for the round 7" 12-volt bulb H6024. Don't know if this is true for the 6-volt halogen bulbs.
