Awesome - rather than improve one thing by 100%, improve 100 things by 1%. I like that. I agree with the complete LED overhaul, that should create quite a reduction in draw. Is the attempt to reduce draw to reduce drag via the alternator, or just to keep the additional draw with the e-fans minimized?
I'm curious what sort of increase in drag (% wise) this would create on the alternator, and what the outcome of that reduction would be in real world mpg.
I'd love to see the light overhaul when it's completed, along with some numbers!
