On our LS430 i replaced the trunk bulb which was a 194 wedge base with a brighter 3652 wedge base bulb. The bulb i used is the same as a 194 in basic design it juse uses a different type of fillament. Jeep designed the bulbs for the side marker/turn signal bulbs because the 194s were too dim and they still needed a brighter bulb for their small lens. It does draw more watts but i doubt it would affect the wiring bc its not a significant difference. My LS is doing fine.
