Wattage for LED Strip on D-Spec Headlamp

[Gordon_x64]

Hey guys, does anyone know the wattage ofthe LED strip inside the D-Spec headlights? Searching online didn't really give me anything useful, and even D-Spec couldn't give me an answer. I would attempt to figure it out myself but I just blew the fuses on my voltmeter .

All I'm trying to do is wire them to a transistor inside the cabin so that they come on when the key is turned on/past the acc position. I'm trying to nail the circuit portion the first time so that there is as little chance of screwing up as possible.

Edit:

I checked the current coming through the led strips with 12V power from the car and it came back with 185mA current, which would give you 2.22 watts, if anyone ever needs it

There was a spot that is in the fuse box that is unused that I tapped to make mine come on when the key is in the on position. I would highly recommend you do that too

Thats awesome! I was going to tap into the already existing ACC fuse under the dash and use it as the base for the transistor, but an unused fuse slot would be so much better. Do you know which one it was/have pics? I'd really appreciate it!

I will go get a picture later today
