A lot of dudes have talked about this in the past here on Chevy Chatter II. As I recall, the consensus of opinion was......don't!

Not at all needed, unless you do a considerable amount of night driving with your 31.

The heat produced by those bulbs can be a problem.

The current draw is also several times the original. Not only is it a strain on the wiring but also the original generator will not be able to keep up. You may find it necessary to update the wiring and generator or change to an alternator.

I forgot to add that I am already running the car with a 6 volt alternator
