Only 55 watts! well that saves you a few amps, so should be ok. I only went with a big alternator due to having 3 water pumps, 2 fuel pumps, 2 big fans, a gearbox pump and of course the usual lights- with everything on and at its max consumption, I am in the 130-140amp zone

Can you not use LED bulbs, they're certainly bright enough these days, if you can get the right fitment.
No reason why you can't put HID in the pod. Expensive. HID spots much smaller diameter, so would look different. H4 HID fixed bulbs are HID dip/normal main, so not ideal. The moving HiLo H4 HIDs would do.
Could these not be wired to come on together?!
Yes I prefer them to look fairly original, though I wouldn't spend loads of money to get original Carellos.
With my luck someone would throw up a stone on the road and they'd get smashed.

LED discussion on PH. Probably not then. The last post probably sums it up
My experience of LED based lighting (not automotive and so in a more "friendly" environment) isn't good. They've never lasted a fraction of the time they're supposed to.
Ebay is full of the various fitments and they're cheap. Might try a pair in my headlights and eventually pod... Solves the problem of excessive power consumption.
