<VV> Bulbs burn out quickly?

[Frank DuVal]

 No,  Ron is right. The current through a bulb is determined by the 
available volatge and the resistance of the bulb. E=IR, I=E/R ohm's law. 
The only way to get more current through the bulb is to apply more 
voltage. Even if you put the bulb in series with the starter motor, the 
current through the bulb would not exceed its normal current. Of course 
the starter motor would not run, since now its current is limited.
