Re: [Chrysler300] Ballast Resistor on 6-Volt system?

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That something would be the top line imperial which changed over to 12 volt 
in 53.

That is why 12 volt bulls eye headlights exist.  Otherwise they quit being 
used after 55 when the 56 models came out.
