and of course i did a bit of internet research and it was confirmed, almost without exception, that my surprise was warranted. so then called the bulb manufacturer and they disagreed with me and the internet...

and so here we are.

i do not plan on replacing my dimmer switch. and so will live with whatever consequences eventuate, i guess. truth is, i've got bigger and more time critical problems to deal with on the car.
