Inefficiency and therefore heat.
One, all the splices, switches and contacts have an incredible loss with temperature gain(Matthiessen's Rule).
Two, the hood and reflectors are only designed with a given heat capacity(eg. heat sink) well below the operating temperatures you will experience.
Three, the bulb life will be a non-linear reduction.
Four, the power factor will be reduced.
You will lose in the long run. You're flying too close to the sun.
