What's interesting to me Dan, is that you got the same result, but from 
different figures and different formulas. I think that if you measured 
the voltage on the coil side of most ballast resistors, you'd find that 
the average would be considerably higher than 5 volts, due to a number of 
factors such as alternator output of 14+ volts, most ballast resistors 
having less than 2 ohms resistance, etc. However, the dispute wasn't over 
the number "5", but rather the way you arrived at it. 

And you can bet your Assie on that, Danny.

Just teasing Dan, be sure to take it as just that.
