can stock alternator handle 100W bulbs?
I wonder if a stock 1750/2000 type alternator, in my Giulia
Super, can handle the load of 7" quartz headlights with 55W
low beams and 100W high beams. I've been running 55W/60W
bulbs just fine, but would like some more light. Thanks
for any advice.

No sweat: this is what I've got. If the alternator is
getting weak and you have the 500W stereo going, plus the
> heater, a/c,and GPS navigation system, you'll see a faint
red glow from the ignition light at night, otherwise it'll
be just fine! :-)

A faint red glow? I've seen that for 22 years - I just thought it
meant the headlights were on...
