Extra current is going to shorten the life of the headlights. No question.
How much? Dunno.
But it's still a lot cheaper than burning up a wiring harness or headlight switch.
I suspect that's real, not just wishful thinking. Measure the voltage of a stock system right at the headlight, and then measure it with the upgrade in place, and you'll probably see something like a two volt difference. That translates directly to more current through the headlight, which...
Yep, that's the idea. I didn't look at that page in detail, but that's the right idea. It's not complicated, really.
I think it's a good idea with stock headlights. If you are upgrading, I consider it mandatory.
