    Puddle light under front doors (5W light)

    Is it possible to install 10 W instead of that candle for the dead 5 W? without burn cable and/or fuse?

    If you do that you will draw more current from the circuit. Other things on that circuit will behave funny. It would work for a while but you might notice problems after a bit.

    Open one of your door and a light would come on underneath your door. That's the answer for your question.

    I also don't have that puddle light so what I did is search for the illuminated door sills and that's my puddle light.
