LED's maybe less of a draw but at the end of the day the amount of LED's I have installed on the car..........if I turn my volume up over 20 my headlight LED's Start pulsating....while driving....same goes for interior LED's when turned on....I know its my alternator because I ran the system at a constant VOLUME 30 at my buddies shop...we took there Battery charger while the car was running and cranked it up to 225 and sure enough the pulsing stopped....removed the battery and almost immediately he started pulsing...the car actually would idle alot better when the charger was connected which shows me maybe I need to add in my grounding kit back to the car after the wire tuck.

Each Headlight: 63-LED array along with Turn Signal 48- LED's.
Each Clearcorner: 27 White LEDs - 60 Amber LEDs for turn signal
Each License Plate housing: 96 combined total LEDs

Whatever the LED's now for the interior.......

You should think about upgrading the "Big 3" if you haven't already.

thanks Will. I have already been in the process of doing it just trying to get the wire ordered.

I am going to be using the stinger EXPERT Series that is very flexible but in a 2 or 4 AWG.

meh.. While I can appreciate the wheels on the car and the work put into the stance I am just not a fan of the "VIP" look.. Reminds me of a car version of an escalade on 28's

Chris the added LED's would not have any effect on your electrical system. It is purely the stereo causing the drain on it.

Without a doubt do the alternator, big 3 upgrade, and a deep cycle battery of some kind. Those should solve the issue completely.

If you are still having issues after that then I would look into an Alumnapro Capacitor
Amazon Amazon

On a side note how big is the power cable running back to your amps and where is it grounded?
