CM Upgrading light bulbs ?
2003 Corvette LS1 Optima Red Top 75/25 battery, and I want to change my Sylvania 3157 12 volt 27/7 watt bulbs with a PIAA super white 3157 12 volt 27/8 watt bulb. Am I going to have a problem blowing fuses or over heat the bulb sockets? Thank you !

If your only going up 1 watt, you will be fine.
