Only things that should be consuming that power are your headlight and the ignition box, right? Just seems high. Headlight's probably no more than 35w, if memory serves correctly (35/55 low/high on a standard halogen bulb? Versus the 55/100 "upgrade" bulbs?), which leaves 85w for the ignition box... -Kurt On Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 9:37 PM, Stefano Ascari <[email protected]>wrote: > Ok great!
