I'd imagine that your car is getting down to the point where electrical load is holding you back Mike.

The big setback I can foresee would be price of the headlight units since it's supposed to be using "cutting edge" LED technology. Just like when the LED traffic lights first came out, the cost was almost 10 times the price, but the life expectancy on a unit was more than ten times as long as the incandescent version.

Say Mike - I forgot to ask: Your re-vamped tail/brake lights....are they LED units on the Aerocivic? I know that you could replace all the interior lighting with LED units as well as the OEM brake/turn signals. That way, the big electric drain would only be from the ignition and the headlights.
