    I just replaced my dim stock horn lights with some 11 watt Malibu bulbs from Home Depot.

    Should I be worried about excessive heat in the horn?

    someone may correct me - but, i think that 11w may be a bit too warm for the horn.

    11w seems more appropriate for the bumper's round indicators.

    I ruined two headlights trying to get brighter horns trying different bulbs....I'm sticking with 194's forever.
