David/Guy,
You are correct in what you say BUT the total current in the wire will stil
l
double if all the bulbs are replaced as each one will be pulling double the
current.
From the drawings I can see there are around four lamps in the same circuit
so the total wire current will go up from 1A total to around 2A.
The wiring I think though should be good for 10A or so so I don=92t think t
hat
nice dash smoke will be a problem.

if you remember back to school physics lessons, if they're all in parallel,
the current is divided between each leg of the circuit, in equal
proportions if the resistance is the same for each part, so the total load
will not be going up dramatically.
