Our '89 Jetta has just such a dim-dip system to give something less bright
than headlights when street lighting is good.  It is like the old TV power
resistors in the old days of valves!  I don't know where you would put the
resistors though to dump the waste heat, but I guess it would be less than
the single bulb puts out anyway.  You would want them away from the
reflector and the bowl paint.
