You sure about that last part? Aren't they still 55/60 W? If the 
watttage didn't change then the current must also be the same.

Well, I did a little checking, and it looks like we're talking about 
H6024 bulbs, which are 35/65 W. So the low beam take a lot less power 
like you said, while the high beam takes just a bit more. Running 
them both together, however, draws 100 W per bulb, making me wonder 
why this seems to work for you and not for Tim.
