I'm hoping most of my gains from the LED conversion are not instantly negated by the e-fan I picked up today. I think transferring the parasitic load on the engine to the charging system would have made some gains, but now I think I'll really be able to realize the full benefits of the e-fan conversion.


I'm glad I did the experiment, and I think the DRL delete & LED conversion will allow me to have some more leeway with future mods (deep cell battery, alternator on/off switch, and solar panel...).

If I had to start over from scratch, I think DRL delete and LED conversion would be on the top of my list. The gains are pretty big, and the conversion is too easy. Swapping out bulbs and pulling 1 fuse will probably be the easiest mod I'm likely to come accross.
