The voltage output should be no more than 7.2 volts. If the voltage gets too high then the light bulbs will start burning out due to excess voltage. Adjusting the tension on the voltage regulator pole can be tricky so a person needs to research the process in order to be successful at it. It functions by rapidly opening and closing the charging circuit. It makes a buzzing sound if the engine isn't so loud as to drown out the sound of it.

If you have a local auto electric shop, you may consider asking them to do the job.
