Sounds like the Ballast's add + 15 watts of draw to the system ?
This is kinda silly, cause aren't these supposed to be MORE efficient ?

I should go measure my current draw on each light to see what the lamp / ballast are pulling.

I soldered the wires in right at the connector plug to the headlights. The lights fire up consistently everytime. At first, the speedo gauge would dive and then recover, but that just stopped happening for no apparent reason. When running, however, they do cause my car to run about 50 rpms lower. Not sure why that is since they are supposed to draw less power after initial startup.
