New H4 white light, too much for charging sys?
I purchased and installed a new H4 white light bulb in my wife's '07 EN500. Now have a depleted battery. the ad claimed that it drew the same wattage. Could it be the cause for my depleted battery condition. Maybe some thing to do with the delay relay for the head lamp circuit,

If it is indeed the same wattage, then it makes no difference. They are legally limited to 55W anyway. I would suspect the battery. Have you maintained the battery topping off the fluid? How old is the battery? If the battery is ok, I'd suspect a fault in the charging system.
