But the wiring could. 24 volt wires could be
sized smaller, try to run the same wattage bulb
at 12 volts and you could fry your wires. Check
the wire harness first!

The US Military does not use double contact Bulbs
in 24 volt (What to CUCV's use?). Other
militaries do use 24 volt double contact bulbs,
my Daimler Ferret has them, so they are out there.

You gents gotta get with the bigger picture.
