I read your posts about that and you were the exception to what I thought was the rule. Most people posted that the lower radiator type required around 1000W while the factory ran off of 400W or so. My step-dad watches the electric bill like a hawk and if a radiator hose heater didn't draw any more current I'd definately prefer to install it.
