[QUOTE="jarance, post: 199414, member: 21"] bro, if your bulb blow, first check what is the output voltage from the alternator. They should be around 13.2 to 14.5 VDC. Any thing more will caused your bulb and other equipment to malfunction prematurely. If you have over voltage problem, putting a voltage stabilizer will not solve your problem. As the name imply, it stabilized the voltage. You need a voltage regulator. A voltage regulator will regulate your voltage. Basically a regulator will output a constant voltage when the input voltage varies. say a 12 V regulator will output 12 VDC when the input voltage varies from 12 to 18 VDC. if the input voltage falls below 12 VDC, the output voltage will follow the input voltage. But putting various size capacitor, you can reduce the ripple voltage in order to get better stabilty. so a voltage stabilzer would stablized your voltage to 17 VDC if your alternator output 17 to 17.5 VDC. So check your voltage regulator.. first. [/QUOTE]
