35W at 12V is what they use. The ballast sends out a higher current than it receives from the vehicle. So yes; higher current, constant Wattage. This means my total power usage went down because it's a 35W lighting system, not a 55W bulb.

Whatever. I got my bike running properly. No one else with the kit has had this issue, leading me to believe that if I had an OEM battery, this would not have happened.
