Have you thought of using LED lights? I got a single 3 watt LED flash light that is incredibly bright and electricity efficient. It is bright daylight white. I heard that it actualy obtains such white by mixing RGB colors to achieve such a white. If you get 3 of this they will be brighter than the one on the 20 year old westy. You can use a mall solar panel to charge a small battery during the day to provide all night lighting in a westy. It can be totally independent of your car battery system. How about using 1000 LEDs?
