I have already replaced the headlights with a HID kit that reduces watts by about 40%, and I have maybe 5-7 other LEDs in the external light fixtures. This among the last big changes I want to make. When I calculate the wattage using their mAmp ratings and 12.5 volts I get 1.125-2.875 watts, which is far less than the 20+ watts per bulb currently. Would a resistor draw more power than they are reporting? (Shows you what a noob I am on this.) It needs the resistor to work as a directional apparently.
