Are they actually driving the field voltage above battery voltage? Even
with the regulator full on, my original 19 amp generator won't keep up at
less than 1800-2000 engine rpm.

They'll definitely help, but perhaps not all that much. The original single
brake light on my TR3 was rated 21 watts; my plan is to have 27 watts of
LEDs (arranged in 3 lamps drawing .75 amps each). Might be overkill, but I
want to make certain they are visible even in full sunlight.
