I'm thinking about going the

Yes, LED's are more expensive but draw less power. Popular with the motorcycle crowd due to reduced power draw and limited alternator capabilities of bikes. I'm interested in LED's for the Mirage due to doubling of brightness with a power draw reduction of more than 50% on low beam. OEM halogens=110 watts total draw on low beam 7.74 amp load, LED's=40 watt total draw on low beam 2.81 amp draw. Lower amperage draw requires less output from the alternator. How much power do you gain from 4.93 amp reduction? I'm not sure, but it's more of a experiment at this point.
