I have a Scanguage. I would measure idle RPM, but the RPM would be the same with both bulbs because the IACV would just bring the idle back up. However, according to the Amazon page, this set of bulbs draws
72 watts, compared to standard halogen 9006 bulbs that draw
110 watts for the pair. Also, the stock tail lights draw
70 watts for the pair of large and small bulbs, compared to
10 watts for the pair of LEDs. The front stock front parking lights draw
40 watts for the pair, compared to 6 for the LEDs. So the stock lighting system draws
220W, compared to
88W for the LEDs, a 132 watt savings over stock!
If the alternator is 50% efficient, a total of 264W would be saved, about 1/3 of a horsepower! I know that this isn't the kind of data you were looking for, but it's what I got.
