If you want to save power/alternator drag, switch everything over to LEDs. I'm quite pleased with my ~$20 ebay LED headlights; they're about the same brightness as the power-hungry halogens but only use 1/4 the power. All bulbs converted over only pulls about 5 amps. You can go alternatorless if it's important enough.

YOu know it's ILLEGAL to alter headlamps?
the issue has nothing to do with 'brightness'.
tak a picture of the light from the correct bulb shining on a wall, the replace 1 of the bulbs and take a camparision pic.
It wont be the same.... it cant be. physics says so.
THe hot spot on the old bulb and the led are different.
THe headlamp assembly was DESIGNED to use the original bulb. period.
the are numerous post on this that used to have pictures...... (oh well)
put the article should be clear.
FACT: the led DOES NOT have the same hot spot, nor is it in the same place.
Your 'new' brightness is increased glare being incorrectly bounced off the reflective surface.
