Checking in to see if my plan is sound..
My goal is to LIGHT UP the front of this car so I'm more easily seen during the daylight. I'm building a BEC, and watts are scarce, so here's my plan:
--I've swapped out my (2) factory H4 (55/60) headlight bulbs for LED bulbs rated at 26 watts each- they are bright!
...
--With my 'extra' watts that I've just freed up, I'd like to also run a pair of yellow (attention-getting) aftermarket fog lights down in the grille.. I can swap out the H3 bulbs they came with for LED bulbs rated at 30 watts each.. ((My math says with this setup, I'll draw 26w (HL) + 30w (fog) = 56 watts per side, where my OEM setup was drawing 55 watts per side))
I'm not the best with electrical theory, so I'm asking is this a sound plan? further, if it is sound, am I ok to run all 4 LED bulbs on the one OEM bike harness relay? If I've done this right, I've doubled the number of lights I'm using, while using virtually the same amount of power to do it..
*Last weekend (daytime) I had a guy turn right in front of me and it scared me.. was he just a jerk? Did he not see me? I'm trying to get other drivers to notice this very small car, and I'm thinking 4! bright LED lights up front would help. Finally, I will not ever be running my headlight high beams, and I'm also running a garden tractor battery that's bigger (capacity) than what came in the donor bike..
Thanks guys
