My bike light currently runs 2x10w 6v mr11 bulbs in a single metal housing running off 6v 4.5ah sla slung off the top tube. It's pitifully dull & yellow especially when compared to my eagletec d25a2 clicky! Now, I have thought of mounting the clicky to the bars but would like to upgrade bike light if it's cheap enough.
I've found an article that mods a similar light using an xr-e r2 cree drop in rated at 117—220 lumens & replacing the reflector with 35mm reflector.
Now I want similar light to the eagletec so looking at dealex.com have come up with a 450 lumen drop in using xpg r5cree.

Two of these would be awesome I think, & should only take 1.5amps each (the light has a 3 way switch so one both or the other are on) which is slightly less draw than current 10w halogens. So the sla should be OK? Am I correct in my thinking?
Also, would the larger reflector just replace one for one the drop in reflector with no mods required? http://dx.com/p/35mm-35mm-aluminum-textured-op-reflector-for-cree-led-emitters-2-pack-14599
