By comparison some H4 halogen bulbs I have use 3.5 amps on low beam and 5.6 amps on high beam when powered up with just a fully charged 12 volt battery and not 14.4 volt normal battery charging voltage.

For me that would save over 5 amps on low beam (assuming the halogens draw more current with higher charging voltage).
Then save around 11 amps or more on high beam (old chevy trucks like mine use 2 head lights for low beam then all 4 head lights for high beam).
In both cases assuming the H4 LED replacement uses about 1 amp for low beam and 3 amps for high beam just as the LED 4x6 lamp used.
