I have another one.
This time I am putting a lighted mirror into my suburban.
The mirror is out of a 2000s ford car and replacing the 212 glass tube style bulb with an LED.
The glass tube light bulb part numbers I could find for this bulb were 212, 211, 578 and 6411.
The OEM style lights use around 1 amp each. To run both lights take about 2 amps.
The Sylvania LED I stuck in there was a part number 6411, because that's all I could find at the local parts store. Both lights on at the same time uses 0.05 amps.
Not a huge practical power saver I know. But I do know interior lights are notorious for being left on and killing a vehicles SLI (starting, lights, ignition) battery. If it keeps me from accidently killing my LiFePO4 battery it will be worth the $20 I spent for both LEDs.
So LED savings for this mod is anywhere between 1 amp per bulb to an entire vehicle battery.
