What would DoG do?
From the 03-05 Bin 'o Facts:
If all the above is true and my math is close, the 84 watts my HID headlights consume (after startup) should save me an additional 146 watts of headlight credit to add to the theoretical 120-130 reserve capacity for the stock alternator, for a total of 266 spare watts over a stock '04, using the conservative end (120) of the original spare capacity, no?
Is the spare capacity noted above in addition to running at full stock capacity? Specifically, with stock high beams on? Assuming they run concurrently with low beams (I can't check since I have HID headlights but seem to remember they do), that should put low plus high beam headlight power consumption at about 230 watts, right?
