I am not looking for brighter lights; I am looking for longer life and decreased load on my electrical system.

All of this talk about solenoids etc. is just looking for band-aids for people who don't maintain their cars properly.

I did my LED replacements based on reduced load:

I just converted my 4" fog lights to LED too. So if I want I can run the headlights and fog lights at the same time and not over stress the generator.

Less draw, so no need for relays. Then if you want to put it back to original, real easy.
