The standard tail light is 6 CP. 32CP bulbs are not designed for
continuous operation and they will damage the housings in time. They
will also help destroy the headlight switch.

There are 4 bulbs per assembly.
Stop
Turn
Backup
Running light

Is it the running light that has the problem?
I had planned to go no higher that 32cp on that one. Just makes sense to
me, considering that it is on the longest.

Thanks,
Matt

Careful on the use of the brighter bulbs.  Some have had melt downs of
their lamp assemblies.  The tail light (not the stop or turn) seems to
be the main one. ........................................
