reducing alternator load - light maintenance

i know converting to leds sounds awesome compared to incandescent, but leds can be relatively expensive, and dispite claims of being "super bright" often are not bright enough. so here's an option to keep in mind the next time you have a light out

bulb wattage
2057 26.88 / 6.75
1157 26.88 / 8.26
7528 21.00 / 5.04

921 17.92
922 12.544
906 9.315

194 3.78
168 4.9
161 2.66

many bulbs designs come in a multitude of wattages, at the same cost per bulb. the list is just ones that apply to my car. they are also all common enough to find at wal-mart / meijer.
obviously with the same type of bulb, youre trading watts for brightness. surprisingly my 7528 is currently brighter than my 2057's due to the darkening of the bulbs over time.
