good point Eyes, 1st thing I learne when I put a hybrid project on the dyno a few years ago. the amperage is not much of a concern, but the power draw is high for luminating

I have always wondered about that myself...

I mean if they can come up with a CFL that only uses 12 watts and puts out just as much light as a 75 watt conventional bulb why cant they apply that technology to car lights?

Does the oil cartel have control of the auto headlight industry as well?
