Alright, I have a halogen spotlight...where the bulb doesn't work anymore.

The bulb is an H3 6 volt, 10 watt halogen bulb, and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I found this one..

But, would the 55 watt bulb wear down my battery?

I was also looking at the PIAA bulbs...something like this..

But I assume most of them will be 12 volts. What are the consequences for using a 12 volt bulb with a 6 volt battery?

And does my replacement bulb even exist? I got the spotlight this past Christmas...it was bought at Costco. Of course Costco doesn't carry it anymore.

Help?
