Hey, so I have a 2004 heritage softail, the stock headlight is the sealed H6024, I bought a new lens that came with an h4 bulb rated at 55/60 watts. Now the stock bulb does not have the wattage on it, and from searching they seem to be on the 35/50 watt side. So my question is, is the 55/60 watt h4 too much for my stock system and wires/connector. I really have searched high and low for a definitive answer and came up with nothing. Thank you!
You should be fine as long you didnt add anything to that circuit. . 50 watts = 4 amps, 60 watts = 5 amps
I'm guessin you want the old school look instead of LED?

The "old school look" is exactly why I went with LED bulb for my FLSTC!
The bulb above keeps the lens look but adds more light with less power drain.
I am not against getting an LED, it's just it would look kinda odd with the stock sealed auxillary lights, in my opinion. I'm starting to think I will just put the stock sealed one back in, not worth melting anything. Thank you all for the replies. I wish I could find the actual wattage of the stock sealed headlight, to atleast put my mind at ease about it.

Call parts, see if they have an answer. 35/50 stock sealed beam is what I pulled up too. I cannot confirm that tho.

Yeah that seems to be the number I'm getting also, 35/50, again thank you very much for your help. The difference between my stock, and the lens and h4 I got isn't very much, I just liked the idea of the ease to get replacement h4's, so why risk melting my wires or the connector.
