5W to 10W bulb question
 
I want to put a brighter bulb in my interior light outlet at the mirror on my regular cab Tacoma.
The fuse type standard bulb is 5W.The 10W is a little bigger but I can get it to fit.
Would the 5W difference be too much for the outlet,heat etc..?

Heat shouldn't be a problem but you may need to up the fuse.
That bulb will be twice the amperage (5w/12v=0.42 amps) now (10w/12v=0.83 amps).
It will likely be insignificant but good to check anyway.
