Default need way Brighter tail lights

I recently tinted my tail lights and i love the way it looks but i need brighter tail lights. I was just messing around and clipped the wires to the tail light and hooked it up to a headlight bulb and it works great blinking and everything but will it burn out or something? i cant find any informatiion on it anywhere. I dont want to use led either but anyone who knows anything about electrical would be a great help. Thanks!

Are you sure silverstars would be that much brighter? lol because these headlights back there are lighting it up like I would want but that would be nice if those were bright enough.

putting the headlights back there will burn up your wiring unless you add thicker gauge all the way around, lets not forget the fact it will melt your taillights in the end

are you really sure about that. I think they are the same gauge and i just left it running for 3 hours to test that and it was fine...

dont forget to factor in the length of the wire difference. also i have had my taillights on my 1991 teg warp and crack from all the night driving i used to do, surely the headlights will cause that to occur much quicker

Just check the wattage on the bulb.
