In at attempt to figure out why my battery died, my buddy and I came up with the thought that maybe my buggy has 12 volt bulbs in all of the lights, and maybe that is putting to much strain on the 6 volt charging system. Does anyone know what would happen if you put 12 volt bulbs on a 6 volt system like the older VWs? Would the bulbs light up? Would they draw an excessive amount of current? How do you test to see if you have 12 volt bulbs? I don't remember seeing anything on the bulbs themselves. Thanks.
