I don't; i mean, i know what i'm talking about but, as i said in the other post, i don't know the model of the power transistor, so adding 833mA and expecting for nothing to happen would be just guessing.

Thanks for you discussion. Tom
Don't worry about the switch, it can handle it.

I don't like the color either (looks less original).

I see two solutions:
*Shifting the 5w bulbs (use the holder, but change the bulb) for halogen bulbs (3 or 6v) or
*Using 5w bulb with an aftermarket dimmer (and by aftermarket i mean a VERY simple, cheap dimmer u can assemble by your own)
