As to efficiency bump. There should be some, 40W less electrical load give maybe 60W less mechanical load which is a little less than 1/10 hp.
If you are driving a smallish car cruise velocity is maybe 15hp so you are looking at about a 0.7% load drop. Or should see that much increase in FE.

I should have specified, I was only talking about the halogens.
