Keith, current will not burn a bulb, but when you wire the bulbs so both the
low and high come on at "high" position, you can fry the bulbs, just think of
the heat generated in those bulbs! In addition, you risk to ruin the headlights
because of the additional heat (BTDT), and both the bulb and lens can crack
because of the heat. The wiring and switch should not have any problems,
though.
