I found the leds for pretty cheap, like about $20-30 for all but the headlights. I was thinking of putting a speed controlled power setup to turn the alternator on at about 25mph so that it has the vehicles momentum powering it more than the engine. Like I said though I will not have anything on the engine once I remove the alternator, because I'll be running the water pump and fan on a electric motor!!
